our vision

 

To be an apostolic community of faith in message, method, and ministry.

 

(e)volve:

The message evolves your life. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of change. It changes who you are, why you are, and how you are. The apostolic message will evolve any person into a fully devoted follower of Christ.

 

(re)volve:

Our methods as an apostolic community of faith will revolve around the methods of the Acts 2 church. Our practices and principles will revolve around their practices and principles. We will do what they did. We will give, live, and love in the same manner as the first Apostolic church.

 

(in)volve:

Involve yourself in a local ministry of Woodlawn Church. Our vision takes life when people involve themselves in it’s functions, formulas, and formats. After the evolution, past the revolution, involvement is the key to the vision.
