To be or not to be?

To be courageous means to have our hearts and our minds align by saying that God is big enough, strong enough, and worthy enough. It is a place deep within our core, a steadfast truth that God is good and He is always fighting for us. The enemy of courage is fear. We must leave behind all fear and step bravely, courageously, into all that God has called.

In 2 Samuel Joab calls out courage, even against all odds. He was surrounded both before him and behind him, but he did not retreat. Joab set in motion a plan to move regardless of his circumstances, trusting God with all he had, and believing with great courage the promises spoken. While he gave it all to God, he still saw his place to be part of the process and progress needed to take ground for the Kingdom.

The answer is ‘to be.’ To be courageous is a choice we make to stand against the enemy and to stand for the promises of God. It is our action statement against fear and the natural because we trust Him. So together we say… I AM COURAGEOUS!

Strategies

BUILDING COMMUNITY

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Building people is building community. When we say welcome home, we create a place where people are safe, accepted, and seen. We will continue creating culture where everyone feels loved, feels free, and can find their people.

REACHING OUR CITY

REACHING OUR CITY

Sharing God’s love with our city is key to the heart and culture of who we are. Having our own facility allows us to create and expand opportunities in leading more people to Jesus through events outside our walls.

PURSUING VISION

PURSUING VISION

Putting our stake in the ground, setting physical roots in the soil of our city, pro- vides greater opportunities for us to serve, reach, and help people find life in Jesus. We will build a church that will expand what God is already doing and allow for expo- nential growth as people are set free.

Be courageous, and let us show ourselves courageous for the benefit of our people and the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.
