Happy New Year! 🎉 As we enter 2025, I’m excited about what God has in store for us. This year, our focus is on being “Rooted in Faith, Growing Anywhere,” inspired by Psalm 1:3 (NLT): They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
When we’re firmly planted in God’s Word, growth becomes inevitable. This year, we aim to grow in faith, impact, and connection wherever God places us. In this week’s newsletter, you’ll find: 1️⃣ A preview of our 2025 Vision: From Here to There, Rooted in Faith, Growing Anywhere, including the three pillars guiding us this year. 2️⃣ An invitation to our first service of 2025 on Sunday, January 5th, at 10:30 AM CST—whether in person or online. 3️⃣ A preview of our first series of the year, “Missed Calls”—a powerful four-week journey exploring how God can redeem missed opportunities. Let’s make 2025 a year of faith, growth, and community. Keep reading to learn how to get involved and inspired from the start! 2025 Vision: From Here to There, Rooted in Faith, Growing AnywhereOur vision for 2025 is inspired by Psalm 1:3 (NLT): They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
This year, we’re focusing on three strategic pillars to guide our ministry: 1. Spiritual Growth & Discipleship Goal: Equip individuals to grow deeper in their faith and develop spiritual resilience. 2. Community Impact & Connection Goal: Strengthen our local and global communities through service and relationships. 3. Hybrid Excellence & Engagement Goal: Optimize our digital and in-person ministries to meet people wherever they are. Throughout the first quarter, I’ll explain this vision in greater detail and share ways you can grow and serve with us. Let’s kick off the year together with worship and community!

New Series: Missed CallsWe’re starting the year with a thought-provoking four-week series, “Missed Calls.” In life, we sometimes miss God’s call because: • We overlook chances to serve others. • We focus on our desires instead of God’s plan. • We cling to expectations that don’t align with His will. • We fail to seize the moments God places in front of us. But here’s the good news: God can redeem even missed calls. Join us each week to discover how to recognize and respond to His call in every season of life.
