Our Vision

Our vision for 2028 is clear.

We want to glorify God by giving our best to what matters most: making disciples (Matt. 28:19-20).

Our goal: Each One Make Two.

If each of us helped two people follow Jesus, imagine the impact. Our neighborhoods, our city, and our world changed by the Gospel.

And here’s the best part: This vision isn’t about programs or buildings.

It’s about people. It’s about you.

Vision Goals

Together, we’re stepping into a focused season of growth spiritually, relationally, and missionally. Over the next 18 months, we’re focusing on seven key initiatives.

Every One Engage One

We’re stepping into a simple but life-altering call: each of us intentionally reaching one person God has placed in our path. A prayer, an invitation, a conversation full of hope. When an entire church loves one person at a time, revival becomes real. God changes lives through relationships, and he wants to use yours.

The Gospel moves when we do.

Launch 15 New Groups

We dream of homes and rooms filled with real conversations, real prayers, real growth. Groups where people are truly known and genuinely cared for. More groups mean more stories changed by spiritual family. This is where the ‘one anothers’ become more than words. They become life.

Community is where faith grows deeper and hearts grow closer.

Next Gen 50% Increase

We envision students who are confident in their faith, rooted in truth, and equipped to lead with courage. Kids discovering purpose. Teens living out the Gospel with boldness. The future of the church sits in their hands, so we’ll put our hearts into them.

We’re pouring into the next generation because God is already working in them.

Send 250 On Mission

God is calling us to serve boldly, love generously, and share Christ’s hope across our city and around the world. Every person stepping forward becomes part of His global story. A church on mission doesn’t wait for opportunity. It walks into it.

We will not be a church that only gathers. We will be a church that goes.

Expand Our Reach

We’re preparing leaders, seeking God’s direction, and dreaming boldly about where He may send us next. By planting or launching a new campus, we expand the reach of the message that changes lives. We’re not building bigger. We’re building more.

Multiplication is how the Gospel moves further, faster.

Revamped Assimilation

We are designing a warm, Spirit-shaped journey where people move from first-time guests to fully engaged disciples. A place where hospitality feels like home, where people are noticed, known, and nurtured into meaningful connection. Belonging isn’t accidental. We are creating it on purpose.

Every guest becomes family, every step leads to belonging.

Discipleship Pathway

We picture a people who grow with intention: learning practicing, and living the way of Christ together. A simple, clear path that invites every person to take one more step toward spiritual maturity. Because a church moving toward Jesus is a church ready to change the world.

We long to be a church where becoming like Jesus is the natural next step for everyone.
