Rob Norman: Our Vision| 1000 Years
God is calling us to build fortified Institutions that can withstand the inevitable constantly changing society we live in and stand in the World for the next 1000 years (more-or-less until Jesus returns).
Priorities | Marketplace
Rob Norman: Priorities | Marketplace
The Marketplace is where we interact with the world on a daily basis. We are a church in the marketplace. Our vision to take ministry to the marketplace removes the separation between the sacred and the secular which is a form dualism.
This means: Our missiology (the way we do missions) must be consistent with our ecclesiology (the way we do church).
Priorities | Ministry
Rob Norman: Priorities | Ministry
Ministry is a primary natural outcome of training, i.e., ministry happens as a direct consequence of training. Training and ministry go hand-in-hand.
Priorities | Training
Rob Norman: Priorities | Training
Our priority to train believers flows out of a deep conviction that the great commission calls for the church to “make disciples”.
Priorities | Prayer
Rob Norman: Priorities | Prayer
The Bible certainly affirms prayer as being vital in the life of every believer. Prayer is as fundamental to our spiritual survival as oxygen is to our physical survival. Even more than this; prayer, or the lack of prayer, effects every part of our lives.
Priorities | Family
Rob Norman: Priorities | Family
Family is a God-ordained institution that only works when we follow His blueprint for building the family institution. Our vision is an institution building aspiration that seeks to realign families with God’s original design.
Priorities | Worship
Rob Norman: Priorities | Worship
Worship places us in a posture of submission to the Father from which all other priorities and practices flow. I would go as far as to say that worship is at the very heart of every true disciple’s relationship with God.
Priorities | Scripture
Rob Norman: Priorities | Scripture
Priorities are where we invest the bulk of our time, energy and money. These are the pillars that we build life and ministry on. Scripture is foundational to all we say and do.

In optometry, 2020 vision is a measure of visual acuity or sharpness of vision. 2020 may also be prophetic in terms of the unfolding sharpness of our vision.
