Church Family,
2025 marked a turning point for our church as we learned together to make prayer our priority, not our last resort. As a result, we saw God move in many mighty ways!
We prayed for the lost and searching and saw record numbers of professions of faith and baptisms across many of our campuses. We hosted Vacation Bible School at every campus for the first time and saw gospel breakthroughs in each community. We hosted our Global Worker Gathering, and not only did we hear incredible stories from 45 families about how the Spirit is moving worldwide to draw people to Jesus, but we also now have a new wave of future missionaries being developed to take the gospel to the nations. Our mission partners recorded over 2.7 million gospel conversations, and our church multiplication network added national partners for the first time. Apart from Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5), so the only reason for these praises and many more is that God’s people obediently prayed, and God delighted to move.
We launched into last year with a 40 Day Prayer Guide that served as a catalyst for creating a culture of greater prayer in our church. As we look ahead to 2026, we firmly believe that it is essential to begin this year united in prayer once again. Remember that the number “40” is significant in the Bible, often associated with spiritual transformation and breakthrough.
This year’s theme is “MOMENTUM” as we see our five-year vision gaining energy and focus. We are asking God for continued breakthroughs as we seek to share the gospel with millions who have yet to hear, as we meet community needs by the thousands in the name of Christ, and as we continue to build a network of one hundred healthy disciple-making churches.
Let’s pray together for greater dependence, greater faith, and greater things to come in 2026 and beyond!
You are loved and you are sent!
Pastor Jay
