VISION WITHOUT WALLS MINISTRY


Local Community Outreach and Social Justice Ministry
At The Vision Church, we believe that a Christ-centered Church is a Church that is concerned, involved and participating in the liberation of those who are marginalized and oppressed. Dr. James Cone of Union Theological Seminary states "Theology is always a word about the liberation of the oppressed and humiliated " Therefore, if we are to have a Christian theology rooted in true Love, that love must express itself in a unified and conscious effort to liberate, affirm, and stand for those who are the "least of these".

At The Vision Church, we stand for equality, justice, peace, and unity. Because of this stance, we are committed to participating with local and national community organizations that are committed to social change. These are just a few of the organizations we are committed to partnering with in the struggle for equality and all other basic human rights:

International Mission and Ministry
At The Vision Church, we firmly believe and support that our Lord's commission to 'make disciples of all nations' (Matthew 28:19) is something that applies to the modern-day church. We have been called to show forth the radically inclusive Love of God, in word and deed.   In an effort to bring the message of Christ's love to the needy and oppressed outside of Atlanta, we will support those whom God will raise up out of our ministry as they minister in different areas of the world. We will see the hand of the Lord in these leader's lives by the fruit that their labor will bring forth.

Please join us in prayer for each of the people whom God will prosper, bless and shelter with divine protection as they minister within the global community. We plan to coordinate a minimum of 2 international mission field projects each year. Sending a volunteer delegation from The Vision Church, our mission projects will include; the building of schools and homes, feeding of the hungry, providing medical supplies and financially supporting the economic empowerment of these international locations.

Future Mission Field locations:
Haiti, Ghana, Mexico, India and South Africa
(We will only support organizations that operate with inclusive policies)

Ministry of Health and Wellness
The Bible says "Your Body is the Temple of the Lord" We have been given this gift called the body, to nourish and nurture. When we live a healthy lifestyle of eating balanced meals, exercising daily, resting consistently, and nurturing our spirit, we are better able to live life to its fullest!

The Vision Church is a holistic ministry. We are concerned about the mind, body and spirit. In conjunction with empowering the soul, we must empower the body. We will do this through, exercise and yoga classes, health workshops, and wellness resources.

Here are just a few of the organizations we plan to partner with to increase the quality of life for those we come in contact with.
