HillSong - The Church

I had heard a lot about the Hillsong church. No! I actually came across their worship videos (the 1st one being "Shout to The Lord 2000") and maybe countless tapes of their's. Anyone connected to the Christian circle would have come across something that must have stemmed from this church. Especially their songs. Catchy and cool they were.

This prompted me to check out their website. Awesome is not the word. I personally haven't seen any church website as good as their's. Go check it out Hillsong Browsing through it shows the amount/varity of stuff they do. This shows the amount of dedication/commitment they put into the work they are assigned.

The church was established in 1983. 26 years from then today Hillsong Church operates from a 21 acre site in a modern business park in the Hills District, and from a contemporary facility in Waterloo near the heart of Sydney's CBD. With a total attendance of over 19,000 on any given weekend, the reputation of the church continues to expand, having a dynamic influence and impact in Australia and many other nations. Hillsong also has churches in London, Kiev and Paris.

The live praise and worship albums produced by Hillsong Music Australia have achieved gold status in various countries, and the songs are sung in churches around the world. Hillsong's Worship Pastor Darlene Zschech and other members of the worship team have become internationally renowned for their songwriting and anointed worship leading.

The Hillsong International Leadership College attracts students from all over the globe and is committed to training, equipping and building leaders in pastoral, music and other ministry skills.

I think all of this needs a vision because it is only a vision that can create stuff...... and by stuff i mean STUFF. They have talked about visions in different areas in the site. Here are some of their statements:

(i) "Nation Builders is the mission's vision of Hillsong Church, which helps people by supporting ministries and initiatives outside our own four walls."

(ii) "As Hillsong Church continues to increase and grow, the vision remains consistent: to build the Church of Jesus Christ and bless the body of Christ world-wide."

(iii) "Phil is passionate about bringing practical wisdom and vision to raise up leaders and see people of all ages won to Christ."

(iv) "To reach and influence the world by building a large Bible-based church, changing mindsets and empowering people to lead and impact in every sphere of life " - This is their Mission Statement.

Nothing great is accomplish without a vision.
