Our Vision

All God's People Online Ministry has a Vision!

One day All God's People Ministry would like to leave the internet and reach out to the world with the "Perfect Church" and an Empowerment Center.

In the Perfect Church, there would be a place for ALL. Inside there would be special seating up front for those with vision or hearing impairments. There would be a special area with no pews for those who use wheelchairs. Some pews would have areas for people to sit their canes, crutches or walkers. There would be a sign language interpter and Bibles and Hymm books written both large print and braile.

In this perfect church adults and children from all walks of life could sit side by side together in one short but powerful sermon and get something out of it so that after church families can go home and discuss the sermons together.

Each Sunday morning All God's People Ministry would like to start off the day by serving it's members and visitors a continental breakfast during morning social hour. The breakfast would be for anyone who wants and need it so that each person can be feed physically and spiritually. After eating a light breakfast equiped with juice, coffee, tea and cocoa each person can go to their group of interest.

Before each sermon people can choose a faith based group to go to. Sunday groups would include:

1. A Nursery for children 5 and under
2. A Youth Group for ages 6-10
3. A Tween Group for Middle School Students
4. A Teen Group for High School Students
5. A Young Adult Group for ages 16-25
(people age 16-18 will have a choice between 4 and 5)
6. An Adult Group (for typical adults)
7. A Special needs Group for Adults with developmental disabilities
8. A group for those with physical disabilities
9. A group for those with mental health issues

After the group sessions there would be a 15 minute intermission and then everyone would enter the church and the sermon would begin.

After the sermon a lunch of soup and sandwiches or pasta would be served and people who chose to can sit around and socialize with others.The purpose of this is to make sure people who are homeless, low-income or those who are experiencing hardships will be fed and won't have to go hungry. Another purpose is to give people who live alone, are without family and those who suffer from loneliness a chance to come together with others so that they won't feel so isolated. Even though this service is a safety net for homeless and low income people, everyone will be welcomed to eat. At the end of lunch, people will be encouraged to take a bag lunch with them if they want or need it. Then the church would close down for the rest of the day so that the staff could rest.

The Empowerment Center would be a place that would offer people a save and positive place to go 6 days a week (Monday-Saturday). It would offer:
A homework center for K-12 and college students (to promote good grades)
A Gym and Workout room (to promote good health)
A GED program
A Job Training Center
Entrepreneurship Training Center
Arts and Crafts
Music Classes
A Theater and acting classes
AA and NA Meetings
Abuse Survivors Support Groups
Support groups for the mentally ill
Support groups for those with physically disabilities
A Men's Fellowship Group
A Young Men's Fellowship Group (males 13-21)
A Boy's Group (boys 9-12)
A Women's Fellowship Group
A Young Women's Fellowship Group (females 13-21)
A Girls Group (girls 9-12)
A Children's Group (ages 5-8)
A Group for Fathers
A Group for Mothers
A group for those who are raising someone elses children
A group for singles
A group for couples
A group for homosexuals
A group for transgendered individuals
Outreach for the homeless and low-income
Nightly dinners and snacks
Spirtual Counslers

There is also plans for a restarunt, coffee shop and gift shop. Profits from these business will help pay for activities for the Empowerment Center.

The gift shop would be filled with arts and crafts that people at the Empowerment center created or things that people donated. On special occations special items would me bought or made (ex: on Valentine's the gift shop might sell heart shaped necklaces or bracelets made by people at the Empowerment center and flowers ordered by either the minister or by those who are learning entrepreneurship.) People who are a part of the entrepreneurship program will opperate the gift shop and profits will help pay for activities at the Empowerment center.

There will be a full service restarunt with gourmet meals for people who can afford it that will be open in the evenings and at night. It will be an upscale place to serve those who are well off. The purpose of this restarunt is to help fund activities at the Empowerment center.

There will be a low income diner that serves breakfast, lunch and an evening dinner with a small menu. Customers can pay what they can afford, all customers will pay by donation with a minimum donation amount (ex: breakfast combo $1 or more donation, breakfast buffet $5 or more donation. Those who can afford to pay the minimum amount can pay it and those who can afford to pay a little more can make a bigger donation.) The purpose of the diner is to make sure that the elderly and disabled and the alone can eat a well balanced meal each day without having to rely on TV dinners, can goods, cereal and sandwiches all the time. The diner will hire people who have disabilities and those who are homeless who frequently take part in activivies at the Empowerment center.

There will be a soup kitchen for those who can not afford to buy a meal. Each day a contenential breakfast will be served, a sandwich and soup or salad lunch and a pasta dinner usually. Donated items would be served sometimes as well as food left over from our diner and restarunt. The soup kitchen will be ran by volunteers.

All God's People Ministry wants to everyone's spiritual needs as well as everyone's physcial, mental and emotional needs. We want to be the missing link in each person's life. If you don't have family, support, encouragement, togetherness etc... We want to be your family, support your ideas and interests, encourage you to do better and be there for you when you need someone.

Our Question to Other Churches:

How Welcomed Are People With Special Needs in Your Church?

If someone showed up in a wheelchair would they feel welcomed? Would it be easy for them to enter? Is there a special area for them or must they sit in the back or hang out in the isle?

If someone showed up who was blind or visually impaired, would they feel welcomed? Do the Church have Bibles written in Braille or large print available? Are the isles or entrance clear of steps or clutter? Are there Church members there willing to assist?

If someone showed up who was deaf or hearing impaired, would they feel welcomed? Is there an sign language interpretor or is there special seating up front in clear view of the speakers and choir, so that they could read lips if they wanted? Is there a sign language interpretor for Bible study?

If a person showed up who had an obvious Mental Illness, would they feel welcomed? If the person showed up in clothes that didn't match and behaved in a way that most would consider "odd" would Church members treat them the same as everyone else or would they stare and talk amongst each other?

If a person with a developmental disability showed up at Bible study, would they feel welcomed? Would those attending the Bible study be patient if the person didn't catch on too quick?

If a parent showed up with their severely mentally retarded adult child, would they feel welcomed? If the adult child behaved inappropriately at a point during the sermon, would everyone be understanding or would they stare and whisper to each other?

Welcoming a person means more than shaking a hand or giving a hug and saying "I'm glad you came."

Welcoming a person means making the person FEEL as if there IS A PLACE FOR THEM.

My Walk in Life is a book about my life. I feel that all church members have the right to know about their Minister if they are curious. I have nothing to hide. I am only human and we all as human have made mistakes or will make mistakes in life. The most important part about when you make a mistake is to learn from it. I also hope that people can learn or get some kind of motovation or empowerment from it and not feel so bad about their life and the things that they are going through.
