Finding the Balance with Personal Engagement
Our guest engagement journey centers on personal engagement before they even think about going to church.
From Attraction to Connection
We do old-school visitations. Once a month we will go and make a home visit in teams of two or three. We bring a gift bag to the door of someone who has already visited our church.
Rocket Pops and Disciples
Every Sunday is different. We celebrate Rocket Pops and Disciples as part of our community rituals, including cupcakes or cookies on Sunday mornings.
Start With Serving
Start with serving: We’re very intentional about providing quality opportunities for people to serve and to make a difference in our community. Through that we have a lot of success in getting new people connected to the life of the church.
‘Together We Church’
The Lord gave me two words: together we. After that, we penned our mission statement out of Together We: Together we are a reaching, discipling, sending church impacting generations for Christ. This sentiment shapes our identity as a together we church.
