Our Vision Statement

Our vision for every believer committed to TLLCC is:

To see the Word of God dwelling richly in each of our members, that we may teach and admonish one another

Matthew 28:19-20 NIV Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Colossians 3:16 NIV Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

To see our members growing in their understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, that they may be deeply rooted in Him.

Luke 24:25-27 NIV He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! (26) Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” (27) And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 NIV (1) Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. (2) By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. (3) For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (4) that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

To see our members full of the Spirit and wisdom, walking with the fruit of the Spirit, that they may love and serve one another in the church.

Acts 6:3 NIV Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them

Galatians 5:16-17 NIV So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. (17) For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

Ephesians 5:18 NIV Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

To see older generations teaching and discipling younger generations, passing on what they have received and learned from God’s Word.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19 NIV (18) Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. (19) Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

1 Corinthians 11:1 NIV Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

Titus 2:2-4 NIV Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. (3) Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. (4) Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children,

Titus 2:6 NIV Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled.
