Pastor Jim provides a clear and compelling vision for the future of Hillside Church, outlining the proposed mission and core values that will guide the church forward. This message unpacks the "why" behind the church's existence and calls the congregation to take ownership of its shared purpose.

Key Points

*The Power of "Why":* When a church loses its "why" (its purpose), it loses its way.

*Mission & Values:* The church's mission is to honor God by seeking to reach, teach, and raise loving followers of Jesus Christ.

*Taking Ownership:* Every member has a part to play. We are not just to attend but to take ownership of the mission God has given us.

*Urgency for the Lost:* Like the ship Carpathia racing to the Titanic, the church must have an urgency to reach a broken and hurting world.

*Christ-Centered Focus:* In everything, Jesus must be the preeminent focus, uniting the church in a single, powerful purpose.
