What is a Vision Builder?
Vision Builders are people in APA who are passionate about fueling a vision for the renewal and expansion of the church in Abbotsford and beyond. One of the ways they do this is be giving over and above their regular tithes and offerings to fund vital ministry expansion.
We have a vision to see the church of Jesus Christ grow and thrive in Abbotsford and beyond. Vision Builders help ensure that we allocate resources for more than maintenance. We’re funding development and expansion for now and for the future in 3 vital areas:
Next Generation Leadership Development, Local Partnerships & Projects, and Building Renewal.
We believe in the future of the church in Abbotsford and beyond. The future church requires intentional investment in young leaders today. We want to create programs, fund training, and sponsor young leaders to be equipped in their calling.
Our heart is to serve our community and multiply ministry in Abbotsford and beyond. By partnering with church multiplication initiatives and local organizations that share our values, we can be a part of the expansion of God’s kingdom vision in our time!
God has strategically located us in the heart of Abbotsford. Our property and facility are dedicated for the glory of God, providing a space for worship and ministry from which we can launch into the world proclaiming the good news of God’s kingdom. As good stewards, we must care for what God has given us, and work to renovate and renew our facility to ensure effective ministry for many years to come.
