What is our vision?
At Watts Chapel, we believe that God has called us to be a vibrant, growing Church—a place where lives are transformed, people are equipped, and the Gospel is shared with a hurting world. Our vision is built on three foundational pillars: Disciple, Reach, and Pray. These values guide everything we do, from our worship to our outreach to the way we care for one another.
As we move forward together, we are committed to growing deeper in Christ, reaching beyond our walls to serve our community and the world, and believing God for more—knowing that He is able to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine. This vision isn’t just a statement; it’s the heartbeat of who we are as a Church and where we are headed in the future.
Our goal is simple: To be a Church that glorifies God and makes an impact on the world. We want every person who walks through our doors to know that they are part of something bigger—a community that is growing, reaching, and praying with great expectation.
