This document summarizes the agenda and financial overview from the Christ Church Inverness (CCI) annual general meeting in July 2015. The agenda included reports on the state of CCI, finances from 2012 to the present, and a vision for moving forward. Financially, CCI has seen income exceed spending in recent years but faces losing a grant in 2015. While income and spending are below targets for 2015 so far, CCI's vision is to shine God's light through loving him, each other, and neighbors by preaching grace and serving others.

Editor's Notes
#9: Six months ago, it was Going back to our vision.
We have since built on what went before and moved forward in making disciples, in moving away from the distraction of doing church to our original focus on corporate worship (Sunday) and Church in the Home, and been able to grow from the pioneer stage of one-man leadership towards a team approach.
#10: Remind of our Newfrontiers values. Yet we as a leadership team felt this needed to be broken down ... What does this mean for us ... What will this look like in CCI? So beyond the day to day leading of the church, we spent time identifying what we are Passionate to see in CCI. We have grouped them under the areas of our vision: God, each other and our neighbour.
#11: OUR INTIMACY WITH GOD: Entering into God's presence in a tangible way. Walking always with God. Meeting God through corporate worship or on your own. Through His Word. Desiring His Presence.
BEING SPIRIT-FILLED WORSHIPERS : NOT The worship wasnt up to much today. We want to bring glory toGod through our worship, heaven to earth, we want to see Kingdom activity break out through our worship.
BEING TRANSFORMED IN OUR LIVES: Desire in folks hearts to become more Christ-like. A longing to spend their lives looking to become more like Jesus. Being Christ-like every day in word and action.
#12: LISTENING WELL TO LIFE CHANGING TEACHING OF THE WORD: Releasing others to live out who they are created to be. Is current preaching/teaching changing lives?
Feeding - folks need fed spiritually or go hungry...will feeding alone change their lives. Need for passion.
BEING EQUIPPED FOR SERVICE by developing Five fold ministry (Apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers, pastors) in our context (local church / Christ Central)
#13: CARING WHILE MARCHING IN MISSION: We can care for folk whilst taking the gospel message out there. Seeing the Kingdom come, people being saved and cared for. Mission in daily lives as well as organised events. Go and make disciples should be our "mantra" - events that draw people to them.
KINGDOM ACTIVITY : This is bringing the kingdom into everything. It's seeking God moving in power through, and amongst, his people (healing, God breaking through to bring salvation, freedom from binding habits, etc.). Wherever we are, the kingdom is.
MULTIPLYING DISCIPLES and so multiply leaders, Church in the Homes and Church planting.
