2026
Church Theme:
Building By the Spirit,
Not By the Flesh
Scripture: John 3:3–8 NIV
In 2026, we will commit to being intentional in inviting the Holy Spirit to order our steps forward in kingdom building. We will:
- Intentionally include PRAYER as a primary means for revelation of the Holy Spirit to direct our individual movements, decisions and plans. We intentionally submit to the power that can only come through and by the Spirit.
- Intentionally come together “consistently and corporately” in PRAYER to seek God’s will for our work outside the walls (“Outreach”) and inside the walls (“In reach”), creating a safe space for all of God’s people. God’s people will be empowered to create a spiritual sanctuary for those seeking to know God.
- Intentionally recognize that the Holy Spirit moves according to God’s purpose, not our control, and choose instead to align our hearts and actions with God’s will so that we operate in God’s truth.
