• 1Mission (Reach Pastor)

Focus:  Ministry (relationship with those outside of the body and in need):  

Learning together...

1. what a ministry of loving, serving, and caring for those God puts in our path looks like walked out daily.

2a. how to identify the needs of our community around us, 

2b. and how our gifts serve those He has given us.

3. how to realize and mobilize the dreams and visions God has placed in all of us.

4. how Jesus has called us to Love and engage: Widows, Orphans, and the Poor.

• Widows (although the literal definition)-, also the “bride of Christ”, the church, that has forsaken their husband. In other words churches that have denied and forgotten they are even "married" in spirit with Christ.
• Orphans- (although the literal definition), also those who have not yet realized or have accepted that they are sons and daughters of The Father.
• The Poor- (although the literal definition), also those without the fullness of Jesus, and the spiritually poor. Those who do not yet have a full revelation of God's goodness!

*Connecting the dots:  A heart, strong in our identity, transformed through the obedience of worship, fully equipped by the gifts of Father, discovers how God has prepared for us a world to love and serve with the good He has cultivated within us.
