Our Vision
What if Acts 2:42-47 is normal, everyday Christianity?
Worshipping together, loving one another in biblical community, growing together as believers, and multiplying disciples—what if it really is that simple? Consider some of the key commands of the New Testament:
Matthew 22:37-40
Worship (love) the Lord your God
Connect relationally with (love) your neighbor
Ephesians 4:11-16
Grow into to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ
Matthew 28:19-20
Multiply the life of Christ in others (make disciples)
The early church took simple obedience to the commands of Jesus seriously and lived them out in community. Maybe it really is that simple! So what if we got serious about simply being disciples who make disciples? What if we got serious about simple obedience to the commands of Jesus?
This is what the WCGM vision is all about. It is a simple and targeted framework that is biblical, memorable, and practical enough to produce simple obedience and real life change in hundreds of people. That’s it! It’s not a program. It is a lifestyle. So what does it look like?
Four simple words…

Four simple words…
Really—that’s it! We are getting serious about everyday, basic Christianity. We are a group of Christ-followers who are passionate about worshipping God authentically, connecting in Biblical community, growing in Christian maturity, and multiplying disciples and churches both locally and globally. And it all begins and ends at the cross…
At the cross, worship is born, community is developed, growth continues, and multiplication spreads. The WCGM vision reflects our relationship to God through the cross of Jesus Christ…
- Worship and Grow are how we as disciples pursue knowing Christ (vertical relationship), and Connect and Multiply is how we pursue making him known to others (horizontal relationship).
- Worship is about the affections of the heart being set upon God, while Grow is about the mind being filled with knowledge of God and the life being transformed by obedience to God.
- Connect is how we develop socially in relationship to one another through biblical community, while Multiply is a spiritual task, leading others to know Christ and multiplying the life of Christ in them.
- We do these things until we all come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Jesus Christ and until we have made disciples of every tribe, tongue, and nation.
