In Romans 12:2 Paul teaches Christ-followers to be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our minds. This means transformation must be personal first before it becomes social. This is why in 2024, we are going to provide intentional resources, Bible-based Teaching series’ and programs to help people take next steps towards personal biblical transformation. 

 

We are also going to be purposeful in 2024 about providing opportunities, ministries and events to bring TRANSFORMING HOPE to our communities and world. Because Paul also said in Romans 15:13, that Christ-followers should overflow with hope resulting in joy and peace. 

 

I was inspired years ago by a talk Dr. Rick Warren gave about the P.E.A.C.E plan he developed to reach his community and make a difference globally. Therefore, I adapted his original concept. 

 

Our P.E.A.C.E plan is going to be the primary strategy we will use transform our community and world with hope in 2024. The P.E.A.C.E plan for 2024 is outlined below…

 

P - PLANT CHURCHES 

We are partnering with two church planters to help them reach their communities with God’s hope. One locally and one in Tennessee.

 

E - EQUIP SERVANT LEADERS 

In February, Pastor Keith is launching a monthly Lunch & Learn for Business Leaders (using John Maxwell’s material)

 

A - ASSIST THE POOR

We are all poor in some area. Some of us are poor financially, others are poor emotionally and mentally. Therefore, TVC is going to expand it’s Compassion Center to include more free professional counseling, food pantry services, etc.

 

C - CARE FOR ADDICTED AND COMMUNITY FOR MOMS

Because everyone has hurts, habits and hang ups. This spring we are starting a Christ-centered 12 step program. We are also launching a program called MOMCO which will provide encouragement, support and resources for moms.

 

E - EMPOWER THE NEXT GENERATION 

Kids and students are both our current and future. So we are going to update their facilities and provide more tools and resources for families to take next steps toward transformation.
