Hello Family,
As we are on the brink of a new month and begin to prepare our hearts for Easter, I want to encourage you to posture your hearts in gratitude. With all that the world has endured in the past year and all the challenges that you and your family have endured, don’t take it for granted that God saw fit for you to still be in the land of the living- this means that His purpose for your life is still unfolding. For this alone, you should be grateful and have an expectant heart as you embrace your identity in Him.
At Impact, our purpose is to build communities of people to become Spirit-empowered disciples of Jesus, who lead at home and serve the world. To do this, we are making shifts to focus all of our attention on disciple-making and leadership training, such as:
· Retooling Growth Track for our new hybrid model of ministry (in-person/virtual) and shifting from moving people through steps to coaching people into spiritual maturity.
· Making Small Groups the backbone of our ministry. We want people meeting year-round for Bible study, fellowship, and prayer.
· Relaunching our leadership training program to provide clear steps for those who desire to become a leader of volunteers, deacon, minister or pastor; and,
· Enhancing our online campus experience to build genuine community and engagement – virtual baptisms, prayer meetings, weekday live services, global service opportunities, and more.
All of these things will equip us all to make an impact in our homes, our community, and ultimately in the world.
On another note, to ensure our church community's wellness and safety, we will have our Easter services online this year. Although the service will be online, our team has been busy planning to make this a WOW experience for both you and your guests. More details on that are soon to come, but I want you to start thinking about who you want to invite to join us so their life can change for the better.
That’s all for now. I will continue to pray for you daily and love you dearly.
