For 2009, the vision of the College Hills church family is centered around pursuing the heart of God. As we devote ourselves to compassion, outreach, and growth, our hearts will become more like the heart of God.
Compassion
-
Times are tough, but God gives comfort, strength, wisdom and blessings.
-
God’s people reflect God’s heart when we love others enough to notice their needs and to help in practical ways.
Outreach
-
It is not enough to feed a person; we also want to give him or her the bread of life.
-
We want to reach our community and world, our work place, our neighborhood—bringing the good news of Jesus to everyone we meet.
Growth
-
As we develop the compassionate heart of God and reach into our community, the amazing miracle of growth occurs.
-
Personal growth — closer to Christ, stronger in every way.
-
Growth as a church family — in number, in unity, in service, and in maturity.

In 2009, College Hills plans special efforts to help us pursue the heart of God through compassion, outreach, and growth.
-
Increasing funds to help people with financial need.
-
Networking, job training, and mentoring opportunities.
-
Sermons and LIFE groups focused on the Heart of God.
-

-
Multiple short-term mission opportunities, including taking 40 teens and adults to Honduras for a VBS, medical clinic, and construction project.
-
Helping children grow in caring and compassion.
-
Teaching teens the value and importance of putting other people first.
-
Encouraging widows and widowers.
