Cox Chapel "Vision for Change"
The Vision for Change is just that: a vision to change our community, our world, and ourselves by participating in Jesus’ vision of a transformed world that the Gospels call the kingdom of God. Throughout his earthly ministry Jesus changed the world by doing two things: he taught the word of God and he healed those who were sick. Often these ministries go hand-in-hand. As Christians, those who are called to listen to and obey Jesus, we are enabled by God’s Spirit to do the world-changing work that Jesus did. The shared vision for those who worship in Cox Chapel is that we be Christians for change by investing ourselves, our financial gifts, and our time in the two ministries of teaching and healing. The two congregations that worship weekly in the chapel–some 125 people–accepted the challenge to raise $100,000 to underwrite world-changing work, whether that ministry happens here in Dallas or in another part of the world, and to create a permanent endowment that enables us to continue this work far into the future.
