Jesus Party’s Mission and Vision Statement with Impact Intentions
Mission
Promoting gospel maturity, unity and diversity in the body of Christ through arts, education, and community service.
Vision
We see a future where people who believe in Jesus don’t stay in the baby stages of their faith, but grow up (gospel maturity) to reach out and make a difference in their community. Jesus taught us to love our enemies, and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). Jesus is the symbol of God’s love and forgiveness. It’s through Jesus that humanity is saved from destruction. Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ has an understanding of loving God and loving their neighbor,(The Greatest Commandments) but it’s not the easiest thing to do in a world of politics, and cliques. The Jesus party seeks to break down that walls of hostility through engaging people with gospel arts, education, and community services. Through gospel-inspired arts, education and community service we help build relationships that improve community trust and health.
Explanation of Donation Goals and intent on Use
The first goal is to raise $50,000 and this would be divided by the arts, education, community services, and administration branch. The second goal is to double that amount in a year and a half, and increase the amount in coming years to increase services and staff for each branch.
Arts : 25% of the money is allocated to the arts in order to rent space and equipment for talent shows, parades, concerts, festivals, and the like. Money is also used to produce local artist, reward talent show winners, advertise, and hire people to film the events. Our goal is to produce 1 artist a month, 1 talent show a month, 2 concerts each month, and 1 festival every other month.
Education: 25% of the funds is to offer free classes in music, art, health and finances to grow the artist community, and to help build emotionally and financially stable community members. We also invite educators to host workshops around the theme of gospel maturity, unity, diversity, and community service. Our goal is to offer classes in the arts twice a week , and in finances once a week. Each class would be a maximum of 10-12 people depending on the course. We want to make sure that our classes aren’t too big so that each student get the attention they need.
Community service: 25% of the funds are allocated to community service. This include food and clothing drives, community grill nights, cleaning up trash in neighborhoods, back to school giveaways, paying people’s grocery bills, light bills, and in some cases paying off people’s debt. Depending on what the neighborhood needs, the money will be used accordingly to help the poorer communities in Tucson become healthy.
Administration: 25% of the money is allocated to the managers of each branch of the Jesus party ( arts, education, community service). We want to hire three manager, one for each branch of the Jesus Party. For the first year we understand that the money will not cover the managers to leave their full-time job, but we would like to increase the budget within three years so they can give full attention to their branch. This money is also used for legal fees, accountant fees, and the like. The money is to help with living expenses and give each manager support to live a healthy balanced life and manage well without the worries of working long hours at another job. We believe that a healthy balanced staff and volunteers are important to the success of our vision and mission.
The Jesus Party needs your help to hold events, get talent, and promote harmony. We need artists, instructors, writers, poets, singers, songwriters, administers, photographers, videographers, researchers, accountants, and the harmonious team to demonstrate God's love in an awesome way!
