Turner's Vision

The vision of Turner Chapel A.M.E. Church is to make a difference in people's lives by extending the ministry and mission of Jesus Christ.

In August of 1997, Turner Chapel adopted the Purpose Driven Church concept originally developed by Rick Warren, Pastor of Saddleback Valley Community Church in Orange County California.

The Purpose Driven approach uses The Great Commandment on which to base the Worship and Service purposes or goals for ministry in the church.

In addition, the Purpose Driven approach uses The Great Commission on which to base the Evangelism, Discipleship, and Fellowship purposes or goals for ministry in the church. Jesus emphasized all of these principles to define the activities of churches and Christians. When broken down, these scriptures create the 5 purposes of ministry of a Purpose Driven Church.
