What are your greatest hopes and dreams for the next couple of years for your church?
Our church turned 5 years old in January which marks 5 consecutive years of growth. There is no doubt God has exceeded all expectations in terms of opportunities He continues to extend our way. As we look forward to the next two years we are ready to navigate all of the growing pains that come with being a multiplying church.
Why did you choose to do a residency & what are you hopeful will happen through this process?
We believe in “the potential of the willing.” We have a heart for people willing to go on a discovery adventure to uncover what God desires for them. Residency for us will be a piece of that discovery puzzle that is offered to individuals interested in taking on the challenge of finding their God given purpose within the context of the local church.
What is it like to work on staff there?
We work hard, laugh continuously, get developed, and cared for like we are family.
