Dear Church Family,

The 2020 VISION is a dream we believe God has inspired and a vision we believe God will direct and bring to completion by the year 2020.  Is it big?  Yes.  The 2020 VISION is bigger than any of us.  It is God-sized.  Can we complete it by our own efforts?  No.  We must rely on God and his influence and resources.  Can it be changed?  Yes.  We believe God is dynamic and He will lead us and direct us every step of the way.  He may even send us in a new direction we have not yet identified.  Below is a condensed version of our goals for each ministry of Pathway church.

In Him,
Jonathan Jarboe
