P.R.I.C.E.S. represent Destiny’s
unique approach to reach the world for Christ! While each
individual characteristic would not be considered distinct,
our blend of all of these will empower Destiny to make a
maximum impact.
P
The first distinctive of Destiny will be the uniqueness
of our preaching & teaching. Its nature will be Edifying,
Encouraging, Engaging, Educationally Sound, Expository,
& Exciting. The Holy Scriptures will be our final answer;
and we will strive to give real people real answers from
God’s divine Word. We hope to make Sunday morning
in the church a more exciting time than Friday night in
the world!
R
Connections will be our lifeblood. Every member will be
encouraged to connect to other likeminded believers so that
they may all move closer to God, to each other, and to their
own purposes and destiny. Authenticity will characterize
our interactions.
"We strive to be a place where
people can know and be known, love and be loved, serve
and be served, celebrate and be celebrated." -
Bill Hybels

The various ministries Destiny will incorporate will be
distinctly purposeful. They will cultivate an environment
where life change is the norm (Luke 4:16). We will meet
people where they are and help move them closer to Christ.
Our ministries will not only equip people to address pressing
needs individually, but also train and develop them to do
ministry corporately. The ministries at Destiny will support
the individual holistically.
C
The Children & Youth Ministries at Destiny will partner
with families to encourage, build, and invest into their
greatest assets. We will facilitate children developing
a good attitude about faith as we teach them about the major
people, places, and themes of the Bible. However, it will
not stop there, as we will encourage family values and create
an atmosphere where children can develop both socially and
spiritually. We are excited about the potential in your
child and partnering with you towards their future.
E
Our pathway to power will begin with prayer! We expect and
will prepare for God to show up in mighty ways. Our worship
will be sensible, awe-inspiring, winsome, energetic, and
interactive. We will engage all of your senses through the
creativity of God as expressed through drama, dance, poetry,
and music. We will endeavor to worship in diverse ways because
we are a diverse people.
S
This vital aspect of our church involves leadership intentionally
building relationships with and providing spiritual care
for our members. The church leadership will provide protection
from spiritual dangers, spiritual direction, and facilitate
spiritual growth and development. People will be valued
and accepted based upon their potential—not their
past.
Destiny will E.M.E.R.G.E. from beyond her
walls to make a difference in the world. We live in perilous
times and believe that Destiny should minister to the greatest
problems in our world today. We plan to reach out to our
community and to the world at large in the following areas:
