The essentials of Eric Clark Ministries are never changing, yet the engines are ever changing.  We will forever be built upon the same foundation, yet as we grow, our goals will shift and turn all upon the same axis of God’s truth.  We have a vision that is built upon the foundation of God (2 Timothy 2:19), but not a vision that God can’t color any way He so desires.  Our vision is one of balance.

The Vision within Our Walls
Within our walls, we will have a dedicated walk with God as individuals.  We understand that no one connected, whether in house or not, will stand before God and be judged alongside another.  Thus, our first goal is to maintain a healthy relationship with God as individuals.  Our second goal is to love and support each other, and all those connected to Eric Clark Ministries with grace and truth, because we are individuals, but also a team in God’s Kingdom.

The Vision Outside of Our Walls
The outflow of this ministry will be one of health and balance.  Let it never be said that what comes from this ministry is, in any way, a reproach to God or a poison to his body.  Our goal is to bring people to a total salvation in Christ Jesus.  Those who encounter this ministry will have no option of remaining spiritually the same.  We believe that the blood of Christ can heal the perverse, dead, emotionally paralyzed, and weak.  Our goal is to reach the world for Christ.  However, we want to be obedient and sensitive to run “our course” (2 Timothy 4:7).  We understand that we are a part of the Kingdom of God and its goal is our goal: to win souls for Christ.  What does this mean to us?  If we encounter one person in need, then meeting that need is a part of our mission and course.  Whether we are preaching to one million people or one person, the ministry is equally as effective and the approach the same.  We understand that when Christ used the word “lost”, he meant those souls who are unregenerated and outside of covenant with Him.  Our goal is to see them come into their total salvation.  We shall reach the unreached that God puts in our path, and be a ministry that has an unavoidable anointing. 

Vision for the Local and Global Church
Many times the word lost can even apply to those in the house of God.  We also have a heart for, and God-appointed call to those of the household of faith.  We desire to see them fed and led into a closer walk with Christ.  Many attend the local church without results in their personal life.  Our goal is to work along side pastors, apostles, prophets, and teachers in an evangelistic role.  What does this mean?  Ministering in the pulpit or pew wherever we are, whether we are on the pew at our home church or conducting revivals elsewhere.  Eric Clark Ministries does not in any way see itself only as a pulpit ministry.  Our heart is that we would be a “help” when we see those who God has put in our circle in need.  We believe if you look, you will find many around you who you can minister to, and that is the heart of an effective vision.  Eric Clark Ministries goes into churches and other settings, and God uses us to create a tangible change that the leader of that house can build upon for years to come.  Our goal is not to simply maintain some itinerary, but rather to make spiritual history in whatever setting God places us.  In no way does our vision contradict the heart of God or any other God-called office of the local church, but desires to be the vanguard of God for any particular setting.  Our goal is not only to equip, empower, and edify believers, but to be effective in giving the individual exactly what has been placed in us for them.  We don’t want to miss one.  God has given us a ministry that will reach the un-churched as well as those mature in the faith.  Through landmark meetings, crusades, and revivals Eric Clark Ministries brings conviction and love with every service.  Eric Clark Ministries has often said, “Real ministry is when God uses you to minister to the seven year old and the seventy year old at the same time.”  Our goals are to pull the lost into the fold, all the while ministering health to those already in.  Lastly, we shall be led by the Holy Ghost in teaching people how to walk with and live for God.  We feel that to support the global church is to support the local one.

Vision for Excellence
We will be a ministry of Excellence, not perfection.  We believe to walk in the spirit is to walk in a spirit of excellence.  What does this mean?  To be excellent in our way of life.  We are faithful in our tithes and offerings, pay our bills on time, submit to those over us in the Lord, etc.  We will be good stewards of God’s money, as well as our own.  We will be a positive influence in this society.  We will be a ministry that produces fruit for the kingdom of God, but more importantly healthy fruit that people may be whole: spirit, soul, and body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23) We long to reach a person, people, city, nation, and the world.
