Fall Vision Sunday - Jon Tyson

This week, Pastor Jon cast a vision for our church as we head
into the fall season. We are tired, but resolved to regroup and
rebuild through pressing deeper into our core values--Presence,
Formation, and Mission. However, in this season, we are taking
these values to a deeper level. We are pursuing the tangible
presence of God, understanding that no human solutions can rescue
us from our cultural trauma; we are committed to counter
formation, recognizing that there is no neutral ground and
fighting against culture's attempting to pull us away from
becoming like Jesus; and we are pursuing sacrificial mission,
adopting the "I sacrifice, we win" mentality of Christ and
embracing the high cost of living for the good of this city. New
York needs a community of champions, and now is not the time to
shrink back but to rise up.
