Vision

The vision of Ikthus Bacolod is to creatively implement the Great Commission to build a growing community of churches around the perimeter of Bacolod city by establishing relevant churches every 3 years that are committed to dynamic worship of God while extending His transforming grace to reach the unchurched community. (2005 Vision Casting)

· CREATIVELY IMPLEMENT THE GREAT COMMISSION
Jesus summarized his purpose for being on earth in Luke 19:10.

He said, “For the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” In his final instructions he made the purposes of the church clear. “ Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20

Therefore, our vision includes pursuing the lost in the most culturally relevant format. This includes implementing Christ’s commission on both an innovative and creative manner to the unchurched of our community.

· BUILD A GROWING COMMUNITY OF CHURCHES
Unchurched people are nine times more likely to come to a new church rather than a older, established church. (Christianity Today). We feel that the best means of impacting our area with the transforming message of Christ is to plant culturally relevant churches, like BCCB, around our community. For us, this means starting a new satellite church every 3 years in strategic locations so as to build a perimeter of churches around the city.

· COMMITTED TO DYNAMIC WORSHIP
Because our vision is to extend the transforming grace of Jesus Christ, we believe that the most fundamental relationship people can have is an active, living relationship with God through Jesus Christ His son (John 10:10, Romans 6:23).

· EXTENDING HIS TRANSFORMING GRACE
By the grace of God, the city of Bacolod will be a changed community in 10 to 15 years , due to the influence of the Spirit of God through the lives of or people who are devoted to extending the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. It is our vision that the members of BCCB will take Christ into homes, marketplaces, political arenas and educational settings.

· REACH THE UNCHURCHED
Finally, our vision includes the intentional pursuit of reaching those who have stopped attending, or have never attended a church. In other words, those who have not experienced God’s transforming grace.
