For the next three weeks, we’re going to take some time away from John to focus on the type of church we want to be in 2025. In fact, this isn’t just the type of church we want to be, it’s the type of church we must be. In 2025 and beyond, we aim to be Christ-Exalting, Church-Equipping, and Culture-Engaging, all for the glory of God. Join us this weekend for our first installment on what it looks like for us to be Christ-Exalting and the important part you play in that pursuit.
