Founded on the challenge to “Attempt something so great for God that it is doomed to failure, lest He be in it,” Perimeter’s Vision is:
To make and deploy mature and equipped followers of Christ for the sake of Family, Community and Global transformation
“The rest” of the vision statement reads like the early church in Acts, and the “What We Believe” link shows a perfectly orthodox Christian set of beliefs, beginning with and based upon “The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.”
Come to think of it, the part of the vision statement you bolded reminds me of South Carolina’s own mission statement. Their use of the word “transformation” could strike one as the same use revisionists make of it. But revisionists claim that [i]they[/i] are transforming the world, where orthodox Christians are used by the Holy Spirit for [i]the Gospel[/i] to transform the world, and taking perimeter’s vision statement and statement of beliefs as a whole, I am convinced it is the second meaning which is intended.
A note left out of the first comment: the only thing in Perimeter’s beliefs that some (not myself) would quibble with is their holding infant baptism and adult baptism (or believer’s baptism) as equally valid. But that is a minor quibble at best, given their beliefs and vision as a whole.
This is indeed a purpose driven church. They are very intentional in what they are doing. They know who they are and what they are about. If I were in that part of Atlanta, I would check it out.
The statement on baptism makes reference to the Westminster Confession and the standards of the Presbyterian Church in America.
