Our Vision
We believe God is calling us to be a catalyst for spiritual awakening in Memphis and beyond.
Vision
To be a catalyst for spiritual awakening in Memphis and beyond.
Our Vision Frame is a tool to help us all work together toward our goal of accomplishing this vision. The Gospel of Jesus—the Good News that He brought—is that God has made the way for us to move from darkness to light. It is an awakening that can start today. Once we step into this awakening personally, we’re compelled to share the effects of God’s Kingdom in our community, our city, and the nations.
Mission
Love God. Love People.
Share Jesus. Make Disciples.
The first part of the Bellevue Vision Frame is our mission: love God, love people, share Jesus, make disciples. This mission is the guiding compass of our church. It gives us direction and points everyone in that direction. Our mission statement may sound simple, but to us, it guides everything we do and flows from the mission of Jesus Himself as He described in the Great Commandment in Matthew 22:37–39 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20.
Values
Our values make up the second part of our Vision Frame as they are the motivational flame of our church. They are the shared convictions that guide our actions.
Intimacy with Jesus
Pursuing a passionate relationship with Jesus above all
Biblical Truth
Treasuring God’s perfect Word as our standard for life and faith
Intentional Hospitality
Welcoming every person with the love of Jesus
Ministry Excellence
Reflecting the character of God in service to others
City Renewal
Investing in the redemption of the people of our community
Strategy
The fourth and final area of our Vision Frame is our strategy. It is like a flashlight that helps everyone clearly see their next step in getting involved. Our strategy consists of proven pathways to accomplishing our mission at Bellevue. Our desire is for each person to worship, get in a group, and serve.
