POP Vision Frame 2023

Our Mission: What are we doing?

We empower caring people to SHARE CHRIST’S PEACE in our busy communities. 

See especially John 20:19-23. See also Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24:45-49,
and Acts 1:7-8.


Our Values: The POP DNA

Journey with Jesus

We meet people where they’re at on life’s journey, a journey that is best traveled with Jesus. See Luke 5:27, Matthew 28:19-20, Romans 12:2, and Mark 1:14-20.

Work From Rest

We seek healthy rhythms of work and rest, recognizing that joyful, God-honoring work flows from genuine rest.
See Exodus 20:8-11, Deuteronomy 5:12-15, Matthew 11:28-30, and Mark 2:23-28.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER

We are wired by our Creator for deep, loving relationships.
See especially John 13:34-35. See also Matthew 22:37-40 and 1 John 4:7-21.

Put Others First

Jesus calls us to die to ourselves in order to serve others.
See Romans 12:10, Galatians 5:13-14, Philippians 2:3-5, and Luke 10:25-37.

Imagine the Possibilities

We embrace God-given creativity in both problem solving and artistic expression.
See Genesis 1:27, Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 3:20-21, and Mark 2:1-12.

Invest With Courage

We invest all of God’s resources (spiritual, physical, financial) boldly and responsibly.
See Colossians 3:17, 23-24, Romans 12:6-8, 2 Corinthians 9:10, and Matthew 25:14-30.


Our Vision: Who are we becoming as we live out our mission?

A FAMILY OF EVERYDAY MISSIONARIES transformed by Jesus and transforming the world around us. 

See Acts 2:42-47


Our Gatherings:

Want to get more connected and grow in your faith at POP?  You’re going to feel more at home and notice your faith growing as you have at least one connection: a group, a class, a team, outside of regular worship. 


Our Everyday Missionary Practices:

What’s the best way to get to know someone? Share a meal with them! Everyone needs food, and sharing a meal breaks down barriers while you enjoy unhurried time and conversation. Repeat, and repeat and repeat. Watch your friendship grow, and opportunities to share your faith will abound!
