OUR VISION FOR CANVAS

Canvas is a God Centered family that loves people well, sees who they are, awakens their dreams, and equips them to impact the world.

Our Vision

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called tress of righteousness, the planting for the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

Isaiah 61:1-3

a multi-cultural, multi-racial, and multi-generational family of believers who will relentlessly pursue and respond to the presence of God.

We strive to create an atmosphere where God is welcome and hearts can be made whole. We are open to the movement of the Holy Spirit and desire to see Him reveal Himself on Earth as in Heaven.

CANVAS VALUES

HOSTING GOD’S PRESENCE

We consider it the greatest privilege to host God’s presence, first in our personal lives and then corporately. In every environment at Canvas we have a hunger to see the fruit of God’s presence transform lives.

BELIEVING PEOPLE ARE SIGNIFICANT

People are significant to God and therefore each person that visits and attends Canvas is significant to us. The pursuit of intentional hospitality drives us toward expressing God’s love in the way we welcome, host, remember and care for people. Furthermore, we highly value their unique, God-given purpose and desire to help launch them into that assignment.

BEING INTENTIONAL STEWARDS

We believe God is an extravagant giver and therefore we want to be known as generous givers and intentional stewards of our time talent and resources as we seek to expand the Kingdom of God.
