Her vision is intergenerational church growth that every gift should be nurtured to exemplify the life of Christ. That would result in both numerical and authentic discipleship as Paul emphasizes in Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV): "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ"1.

The purpose of these roles is to equip believers for ministry and to build up the body of Christ, which is the church.
