MISSION
Love God and love others as we make disciples. 
(Matt 22:37-39 | Matt 28:18-20 | Luke 10:25-37)

VISION
We will be a church that impacts the community of New Haven and beyond with the transforming love of Christ as we seek to connect people to: Jesus... His People (the Church)... and His Mission.  In short, making disciples. 
(Matt. 28:18-20 | Acts 1:8)

VALUES
Found People Find People...
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost...” - Luke 19:10
 We seek to understand and meet the needs of our community (our context) as we live out the transformational call of Jesus to “go and make disciples”, and as lives are transformed for Christ, so too our community and beyond. Living with a missionary mentality right were you are!

Authentic Community
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” – Hebrews 10:24-25
 Jesus didn’t do life alone. He brought His disciples everywhere. If the Son of God didn’t do life alone, why would we?  We need others who will challenge us and encourage us to take next steps. So at Impact we seek to create a relaxed atmosphere that fosters authentic community. We will be a church that is safe for people to get involved in without being perfect, but strong enough to keep people centered on the way God has called us to live.

Prayerful Dependence
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Any lasting impact to be made for Christ in our community will come from God. We will be passionately dependent on God for His direction, as we are conduits of His grace in our community.

Joining The Service Industry
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”  Mark 10:45
Want to become more like Jesus? Focus more on serving others than on being served. The best way to improve our marriages, make a difference in our workplaces and discover our spiritual gifts is to serve those around us.

Multiplication
“Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”  Matthew 4:19

We believe healthy things reproduce healthy things. Believers reproduce believers, leaders reproduce leaders, and churches reproduce churches.

Living The Blessed Life
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16
It is a spiritual impossibility for us to out give God, because He has already given us everything. So we live open handed and bring back to Him the first fruits of all He has blessed us with.

MINISTRY MODEL
In order to fulfill the mission of Impact Church and see the vision of our community come to fruition, we must start with a model that allows our values to come through in our actions, and for Impact Community Church that starts with GROW, SHARE, SERVE. One will not be able to fully participate in the mission and vision of Impact Community Church without fully engaging in all three areas. A part time journey with Christ is not what we are called to, we are about total life transformation.

                 Connecting to Jesus...His People...His Mission
 
Luke 2:52 | Acts 2 | John 15
Connect to Jesus as we GROW in our knowledge of God and His word. 
  • Biblical teaching
  • Grow in a Life Group
  • Disciple Making (classes/groups/individual)

Acts 2:42-47 | Hebrews 10:24-25
Connect to His People as we do life together...as we SHARE God’s heart for one another.
  • Authentic relationships with accountability
  • Worship
  • Creativity
  • Value Community (both within Impact Church and the communities we live in)

Matt 28:18-20 | Acts 1:8 | James 2:14-17 | Luke 10:25-37
Connect to His Mission as we act on the love of God and SERVE our community.
  • Serving in Ministry: Everyone deserves the opportunity to use their God given gifts by serving the church. This will be realized by volunteering to head up or help out a specific ministry in the church. We will all do the work of the church together. Check out the different areas you can volunteer.
  • Serving Others: We will have opportunities to give away what God has given us through servant evangelism events (ECHO.OPS), personal service for families in need, as well as supporting missionaries in other countries.
  • Generosity through using our time, abilities, and finances to further the kingdom of God.
  • Missions (Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the World)

Something for the kiddos...

LITTLE KIDDOS
Pre-K - 1st Grade 
ELEMENTARY KIDDOS
2nd - 5th Grade 
We believe it's important that we intentionally engage with and teach our children to know and love God. So, Emilie and the Kids EDGE team wanted to provide parents with these resources to help you do that. We encourage you to engage in these with your children, and remember we are here to help answer any questions they may have.
