Vision
As an organization our vision could not be more important. We exist to see every person making disciples. Our vision comes directly from Jesus. In fact, it’s more accurate to say its his vision. Jesus came to love people. He came to restore people. Jesus put it this way,”
“I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me. This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed—not a single detail missed—and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole. This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time.” (John 6:38-40, the Message).
As a church we want to align our priorities with Jesus’ priorities. At Brentview we use six images to describe what “together, upright and whole” looks like. We call these images discipleship traits. We believe a follower of Jesus is 1) alive, 2) grounded, 3) authentic, 4) enabled, 5) together, and 6) engaged.
Mission
A few years ago the Elders of Brentview encouraged our church to more intentionally consider the needs of the community around us. Our Holy Spirit-led mission is to transform and present Brentview as an essential part of the community of Calgary. We accomplish this by:
• living out discipleship practices.
• developing a Christ-like welcoming spirit.
• calling people to take the next steps in their faith journey.
Brentview has two focus areas: 1) equipping disciples, and 2) transforming our community.
Values
GOSPEL CENTERED | Jesus is our Saviour. We maintain the centrality of the mission and message of our King, and we want that to shape everything we are and do.
TRANSFORMATION | Life with Jesus is a life connected to the source of transformation. We are a community of people who desire to be transformed, and to be agents of transformation in our world.
EMPOWERED LEADERS | We believe every member of our community is influencing someone, somewhere. This is how we define leadership. We want to empower leaders who will be Gospel Centered and Transformational in the way they influence others.
GENEROSITY | As a community we serve a generous Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We desire to express his generosity to us as we are generous with each other, with our city and our world.
COMMUNITY | We are created to live our lives together and to care for each other. We live out our faith as we practice it in community.
