We’re beginning a six-month season of focused prayer and reflection on where God wants our church to be in the next five years. We’ve partnered with Brad Oaster with Oaster Development to help us in this process. Brad has years of experience coaching churches on planning for next steps in their ministry.<\/p>\n

We’re appointing several teams to focus on various aspects of the ministry, \u00a0to pray, research, and offer strategic steps for how we might move forward into the future that we see God leading us. At the end of this six-month period, we prayerfully plan to have a God-sized vision for our church, including next steps that we must take to get there.<\/p>\n

So, if you hear a “buzz” around the church over the next six months about how we’re dreaming together to grow and to reach our city for Christ, now you’re in the know.<\/p>\n

Also, if you have an interest in helping on one of these strategic planning teams, please contact us. We want all our members to have a part in this process.<\/p>\n
