Why the name Legacy?
Many times when famous people pass on from this earth, the question is asked: what was his or her legacy? The question them comes to mind, what would the world, our family, co-workers, church friends, spouse or children say about us? What would be inscribed on your tombstone? What would your life stand for? What would people remember you for?
What is Legacy? Legacy is organizing the way you live your life so that you will be living a life that blesses other people and making an impact for generations to come. Its taking the responsibility to ensure that your relationship and resources will outlive and outlast your time here on earth. Its a ripple effect.
How you live and build your legacy and what you leave behind will determine the true worth of your life! Legacy is not just about what you have become, nor is it just about what you leave behind. Its about facing God and telling Him what you have done with what He has entrusted to you!
God has something special for each of our lives. He created us and has a unique purpose for every person. Here at Legacy we desire for people to discover the love of Jesus; allow Him to mend broken lives, build us up by discovering His plan and purpose for our lives and in turn reach out to others and give them hope.
Once we have a solid relationship with Jesus we cant help but be
Loving God
Loving Others
And Serving the World
The result: we will make a lasting impact for generations to come.
We can live a legacy now, but someday when we are long gone from this earth, people will not be concerned about the money we made, nor the college degrees we have earned. Instead, people will ask what kind of person were we.
With God, our lives will be fulfilled, and through Him, we will have made a difference. It will be a quality of life that is devoted to God living day by day for Him. The important question is, what will God say about my life?
You have one life one heart.
What will you do with Yours?
Purpose & Vision
Purpose:
Loving God: Jesus made it clear that the first and greatest commandment in scripture is to love God with all your heart (Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37). We want to inspire and move people toward life lived in a very real, loving relationship with a very real God. Loving God is at the center of everything we do.
Loving Others: Come As You Are: Everybody is welcome here. We want to provide a safe place for people to experience grace and truth in a way that we experience Gods love for us. (Matthew 22:39)
Serving the World: We believe that everyone has unique spiritual gifts that God gave us to serve one another and build His Church. A significant part of growth and becoming who He made us to be happens when we choose to serve others using those gifts. The Church is only able to do what were supposed to do when everyone does what they were created to do (I Corinthians 12, Romans 12:3-8).
Living a Life that Matters: Living A Legacy!
Our Vision
To build a legacy that makes a lasting impact for generations to come.
