missio

I was thinking last night what Harmony Church might look like in 20 years. I know, I know, it’s a long-term vision. But be quiet for a minute, and let me speak. It’s my blog. So there. Here are three options I came up with:

1. We will no longer exist. In 20 years, we will have failed, floundered, or just plain given up. Greenville isn’t worth saving. Move on.
2. We will be an average Greenville area church. Just with ‘cool’ music, a loud pastor, and we meet somewhere ‘different’. 200-350 people, VBS, Sunday School, the whole shebang. We’ll have an effective small groups ‘program’, and will be doing financial campaigns, complete with colored-in thermometers and obscure Old Testament passages. (stole that from Chandler)
3. We will be blowing the roof off in Greenville. We will be a group of families whose children have grown up together. We will be doing long-term ministry in Greenville, including the low-income section. We will be rockin’ on Sundays, upwards of 2000 people meeting to celebrate Jesus’ name. Art shows, concerts, community ‘days’ all contribute to a good reputation of the church in Greenville. But most of all, Jesus’ name will be just a bit more famous.

Which do you like? I’m partial to the last choice.
