A unique ministry...
Here are some
frequently asked questions about Vision:
Is Vision a
Christian “Bible Based” Ministry?
Not in the traditional sense. Vision is Interfaith – and
not limited to one specific theology, doctrinal directive, or single
pathway to God. The Bible is utilized on occasion for its profound wisdom and
guidance, but we recognize it as open to individual interpretation. Other sacred
texts are considered valid and explored as well. At Vision, rather than focusing
on theological differences, we examine the commonality inherent in all
enduring religious teachings. We believe this commonality is Love. Jesus called
this the Great Commandment: Love of God, love of neighbor, love of self. Vision
Peace Ministries is committed to nurturing inner spirituality instead of
doctrine and dogma, reflecting the words of Gandhi, “God has no religion…”
What are Vision’s
Core Beliefs? Because of our
progressive and exploratory nature, Vision Peace Ministries is minimally
doctrinal. Spirituality is a highly personal journey that we respect and
encourage. Vision does provide Spiritual guidelines that are clearly outlined on
the “Eleven Precepts of Vision Peace Ministries” page of this website. Please
take a moment to read through these for a more complete understanding of our
core beliefs.

How do I join
Vision Peace Ministries?
Vision is different from most church organizations. In support of our philosophy
of empowerment and personal freedom, membership is not required at Vision. You
are encouraged to participate in ways that nurture your Spirit and support your
life’s journey. People from all walks of life enjoy and participate in Vision
Peace Ministries from an inner heart level, not because of external controls or
organizational pressures.
Where can I attend
a Vision Sunday Service?
Vision Sunday
Services are held every Sunday at 10:00 AM at the Eagle Community Center in
Eagle, Idaho,
(Map and directions)
and on occasion in the Seattle area. Special events and community
gatherings are held at The Light in the Woods Chapel in Garden Valley,
Idaho.
Information about upcoming Vision activities will be posted on this website.
