Target driven

The Church in the book of Acts existed for the benefit of the world - not for itself. Over time, we have been trained to think from the inside out, and therefore end up with churches that exist for themselves. Churches that emulate the Church as we see it in the New Testament start their thinking not with themselves, but with the people into whose lives God has placed them. Our key question must be: What does God want for these people? Our answer must be: He wants every man, woman and child in this place to have the repeated opportunity to see and hear the Gospel. Those that respond positively to that message should be incorporated into the purpose of the church.


To that end, we must be target driven in the multiplication of the church. We do this by applying Circles of Accountability. Circle of Accountability is asking God to give us a specific geographic sphere around us where we can empower and mobilize all of our resources to guarantee that in a specific time frame every man, woman and child will have the opportunity to see and hear the Gospel and be integrated into a local church.

Our circles include:

  • The circle immediately around where our church meets (48 Brookfield Oaks Dr.)
  • The circle of our city (Greenville)
  • The circle of our state (The Upstate of SC)
  • The circle of our nation (The United States)
  • The circle somewhere else in the world (Kiev, Ukraine)
