Hello Reader, As we enter the new year 2025, I am filled with anticipation for the blessings that God has in store for us. This year, our guiding focus is to be “Rooted in Faith, Growing Anywhere,” drawing inspiration from Psalm 1:3 (New Living Translation): 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 firmly establish ourselves in God’s Word, growth becomes inevitable. This year, we aim to nurture our faith, positively impact, and strengthen our connections wherever God leads us. In this week’s newsletter, you’ll discover valuable insights and resources to support your spiritual journey. 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 “pull up” or “log on” on Sunday, January 19th, at 10:30 AM CST—whether in person or online. 3️⃣ A preview of Sunday’s message, “Let Them Be: Why You’re Not Responsible for Fixing Everyone’s Journey”—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 dive deeper into this vision and share ways you can contribute and serve with us. Let’s commence the year together with worship and community!
