Church
VCC has a unique program of self-directed missionary outreach that provides monthly support for a number of local and international missionaries as well as missionary enterprises. To see the listing of the VCC missionaries for 2024, click the button below.
For both ministry and missions, VCC is guided by the following Vision statements approved by our congregation.
At VCC our vision has two distinct parts: Our vision for our local fellowship and our vision with regards to missions which is our response to the Great Commission.
OUR VISION FOR THE LOCAL FELLOWSHIP
We are a congregation that loves the Lord, reveres the Word, and enjoys rich fellowship. It is tempting to simply enjoy what we have. However, does God establish local churches, which the Bible calls the “body of Christ,” in order to maintain the status quo? On the contrary, God has plans for Vistoso Community Church! So what then does God have in mind for our congregation? Our Mission clearly states what we are to be doing—reaching the lost from a foundation of spiritual maturity. The Vision that follows paints a picture of what we can become as a church fellowship, if we wholeheartedly apply ourselves to our mission.
Reaching the Lost
Our field of labor is the Rancho Vistoso corridor, the nearby retirement community of SaddleBrooke, and other such communities in the area. We envision our presence becoming well known as a “spiritual landmark” throughout these communities.
Specifically: We continually challenge “empty nesters” to make the second half of their lives count! Our call is the clear, compelling reconciliation message of the Gospel followed by a call to repair damaged relationships and find meaning in spiritual pursuits.
We successfully challenge the conventional wisdom of focusing on attracting and evangelizing youth, by using the issues associated with aging as a means to establish a powerful outreach to those who are older—with the result that older men and women are brought into a saving relationship with Christ.
Each individual who identifies with our fellowship learns to personally share their faith, so that we will have the ongoing joy of welcoming lost souls and displaying a trail of salvation right within our own fellowship.
Maturing the Saved
When gathered together, whether in small group or church fellowship, the men and women of VCC are intent upon building a foundation in Jesus Christ, in praise and adoration of our great God, and in the encouragement that comes from fellowship with God’s people. Furthermore, the blessings of our gatherings never turn us from our mission of reaching the lost.
Specifically:
We are noted as a center of teaching excellence—making the truths of the Bible compelling. We are a stronghold for the orthodox truths.
OUR VISION FOR OUR MISSIONS OUTREACH
Vistoso Community Church’s existing Vision Statement delineates a view of this church fellowship that emphasizes what God desires for it to become in the geographic area in which it is planted. Additionally, this document recognizes that God has plans for Vistoso Community Church in the area of missions, and develops our belief that those plans include having an impact to the “uttermost ends of the earth!” In the same way that we are seeking to fulfill the Great Commission in our own locale, the Vision that follows paints a picture of what we can accomplish as a church fellowship if we wholeheartedly apply ourselves to our church Mission in the field of missions—both home and foreign.
We will know that we have embraced the missions component of the Great Commission when:
We will have fulfilled our Mission Vision when we support missionary enterprise as follows:
It is our intent to provide the following kind support:
As a congregation consisting principally of retired members who are seeking to finish well in our individual walks with the Lord, we have a special interest in seeking out those missionaries near the end of their careers. We envision God using us as an instrument to come alongside and help complete the work that they have been commissioned to do that we might both hear well done thy good and faithful servants!
