All Nations Community Church

The Vision for the new church we are forming in Mobile(All Nations Community Church) flows directly from scripture. In the book of Revelation chapter 5, a song is being sung in heaven in honor of Jesus Christ. The words of the song capture so well what our church's vision flows from, "You (Jesus) are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth." It's so easy to view 'heaven' only in futuristic and lofty terms reserved for funerals and comfort for our tough times. But Jesus taught us that heaven should be a part of our daily prayer lives. In his teaching his followers were taught to pray, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Heaven is made up of people from every nation, culture, language... a true mosaic of all the peoples whom God has ever created. When we worship in All Nations Community Church our Vision is to look like heaven in the makeup of our community.
To put it simply our vision at All Nations Community Church is to be a multi-cultural family of nations worshiping and serving Jesus Christ in Mobile, Alabama.
