December 6, 2025

The Pastor Search Committee (which is also the Advisory Board) met on Saturday, December 6. In that meeting they finalized the strategy portion of the Vision Frame. The only thing left to do is drafting a description statement for each of the strategies. This will be done over the next several weeks.

In summary, the Vision Frame is comprised of four elements: 1) Mission Statement - what WAPC does uniquely as a member of the body of Christ; 2) Core Values - why WAPC does its mission, the motivation and culture that defines WAPC; 3) Strategy - how WAPC advances its mission; and 4) Metrics - when WAPC is advancing its mission. The final element (Metrics) is something that is developed dynamically and over time and is not essential to developing a pastoral profile.

Core Values (Why)

Worship

We worship God with authenticity, sincerity, and freedom—expressing our love through enthusiastic praise. Whether through raised hands, singing, dancing, giving, or even running, our worship is a genuine response to His grace and a wholehearted offering to the Lord.

Discipleship 

Discipleship is a lifelong journey of growth and development, strengthened through fellowship. We teach, mentor, and involve every believer in understanding and living God’s Word, so together we become faithful witnesses and mature followers of Christ.

Love

We believe love is the foundation of all we do. We walk in unity and love as one family, committed to support of and submission to one another as we serve, uplift, and sacrifice for our community—reflecting the heart of Christ and bringing glory to God.

Prayer

We believe in the power of radical prayer and fasting as a bold expression of faith—rooted in dependence on God. Through personal devotion and corporate intercession, we routinely seek His anointing, guidance, and transformation, trusting that as we humble ourselves, He moves, aligns our hearts with His will, and empowers us for His work.

Apostolic 

Grounded in the apostolic foundation of the New Testament Church, we embrace truth and holiness, teaching God’s Word and nurturing fellowship as we live a lifestyle that reflects Christ—impacting our community and advancing His Kingdom with faithfulness and love.

At the first meeting in January, the Pastor Search Committee will begin the process of drafting a pastoral profile, which will articulate what WAPC is looking for in a pastor. We are getting closer to the goal. Please continue to pray for the Pastor Search Committee as they complete this important work.
