OUR VISION
REACHING LOCALLY: It is the vision of reaching an ever increasing percentage of Hillsboro and Marion County for Jesus by intentionally and earnestly sharing His love and the gospel message with them.
GROWING SPIRITUALLY: It is the vision of growing to be like Jesus by equipping every person that crosses paths with Hillsboro MB Church in personal spiritual practices and connecting them with the people and environments that develop Christ-likeness.
SERVING INTENTIONALLY: It is the vision of serving Jesus and others by helping every believer in our church family discover their spiritual gifts, talents and passions and then connecting them with the significant kingdom ministries for which God has designed them.
SENDING GLOBALLY: It is the vision of raising up and sending out short term and career missionaries and church workers, equipping every believer in our church for a life of mission wherever God places them.
LEADING FAMILY: It is the vision of inspiring and equipping parents, grandparents and guardians to provide spiritual leadership in their families, especially with their children, so that homes become the center for impact and transformation that God desires.
We are earnestly committed to doing whatever God leads us to do, no matter how difficult the sacrifice or how strenuous the challenge, to accomplish His mission and to bring Him glory in our lives, our ministry, and our world. By God’s grace, truth, and empowerment, the vision He has given us for the fulfillment of our mission will be accomplished!
Hillsboro MB Church is guided by a strong devotion to our confession of faith and to the following values. The first eight represent the core values that currently guide our life and mission as a church. These are referred to as our actual values. The last three represent values we believe we must become more devoted to in order to be and accomplish all that God wants for us. These are referred to as our aspirational values. It is our prayer that as we own and model these values God will work in powerful ways to enable us to accomplish our mission of helping people find faith in Christ and developing Christ-like people.
