How To Take The Next Step

I’ll never forget the moment we stepped in the Delaware river.  It was a drury day, the sun was hiding in the cloudy spring sky, but we had some business to take care of.  This river would be the place where Keith would make a decision about Jesus, following him, sacrificing for Him, forgiven by him.  It was baptism day.  This was year 2 of our church and now 4 years later, we are preparing for our official six year anniversary in February of 2016.

We are asking God what he wants next for our church by entering into a 40 Day Spiritual Growth Emphasis called #RELAUNCH, kicking off February 3, 2016.  We will be relaunching EVERY aspect of 217church.  Small groups, prayer, weekend services, youth, kids, media, you name it, we are RELAUNCHING it!

We are taking faith steps now preparing how God will use us in the future.

Rebuilding a life starts with the courageous decision of water baptism.

Here is How We Are Taking The Next Step:  

#Relaunch is a powerful, church-wide, 40 Day spiritual growth emphasis re-launching 217church.

#1 Celebrate What God Has Done – We will be telling the 217church story affirming where God has called us to and all he has done. We will celebrate stories and give context to what has happened here in Mercer County over the last 6 years through the faithfulness of the church. 235+ baptisms and thousands of people fed, to name a couple.  We will have a season of prayer, fasting and celebration thanking God for all He has done. (Nehemiah 1)

#2 Clarify How He Is Positioning Us – We are a multisite church strategically placed in a mobile setting (a theater and school) to reach thousands of people.  Strategic positioning is critical.  We will examine all the resources and unique situations God has us in so we can maximize every relationship, and especially learn how to live out our values and the purpose he has called us to. (Rom 8:28-29)

#3 Cast A Vision For The Future – We will recommit to our vision ownership covenant because the future is bright and hopeful. We are a city imbedded within the central New Jersey community to shine the light of Jesus. We will seek God for more specifics about the future of our church and refresh our vision seeking His preferred future is for us. (Habakkuk 2:2)

I couldn’t wait to step into those baptism waters that Sunday and I can’t wait to walk through this season together with you!

Let’s take the Next Step!
