Invest
& Invite
Share God’s love. Sometimes you’re given the perfect opening to invite someone to church. Other times, you need to find common ground and cultivate it before you extend the invitation. Do whatever it takes to “open the door” for others.
Study Your Bible
Keep the conversation with Jesus going. And growing. Get closer to God by regularly studying His teachings. Want to know how to relate to your spouse? Succeed at your job? Forgive an injury? It’s all here.
Serve Once A Week
Help someone. It’s that simple. Volunteer at the Boys & Girls club, serve at the food pantry, help in the nursery – you choose. Make a habit of serving others; you’ll be surprised by the good it does you.
Have A Friend, Be A Friend
Cultivate friendships that define “meaningful.” Develop reciprocal relationships with people who will encourage you to become the person God meant you to be. People who expect you’ll do the same for them.
Do The Next Right Thing
What’s your next right thing? Maybe it’s joining a small group. Giving up the remote. Making that long overdue apology. The question is, who are you when nobody’s looking - and who do you want to be?

Focus On Five
So, where do we go from here? As a church and as individuals? So many of us are busy, perhaps on overload, yet we all want to keep moving toward Christ. To make sense of our lives. To prioritize. To simplify. To focus on what’s important.
Our goal for the coming years is to help each other live better lives with more energy, more joy, more hope, more purpose. And more impact.
By raising the bar—for each other and ourselves—and by making a lifestyle shift, we can change the direction and the substance of our lives. We can make a difference. Not just for us, but for those around us who need to know the Giver of true and meaningful life. Christ Jesus.
