CONNECT
Connect to the word of God in a fresh and amazing way. The Great commission in Mark 16 is the last promise of hope and commission of purpose Jesus gives before He leaves semi-permanently for Heaven.
Mark 16: 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, ....” 19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. This event occurs only after the resurrection meaning Jesus possibly only came back to tell us this specifically. Many call this command to preach and baptize the great commission. Our job as Christians become very clear at this point and that is to Grow UPwards so that we are fit, filled and faithful enough to Grow Others. As believers we should Grow Others in their faith and to give them hope for tomorrow by allowing them to watch our faith in action. Our bible studies each week are focused on growing our members upward for the purpose of growing others.
ENGAGE
Engage with the people of God online via our Zoom and Facebook bible studies and in person for Sunday service. Engagement and interaction with other believers is not only helpful for encouragement, but mandatory if we are to live the way God instructed. Hebrews 10 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
EXHIBIT
Exhibiting the character of God is not easy. With everything from social media to nightly news displaying an ungodly popularized view of the world it is easy to go with trends. However, we are called to be set apart not conforming to the ways of this world, Romans 12:2, in the world, but not like the world, John 17: 14-19. Being in an ungodly evil world, but living a godly life pleasing to the Lord can only be done in the fellowship of other believers who desire to serve God with their entirety. Many say they are Christians, but do not exhibit the character of Jesus. If you desire to exhibit the character of Christ then it is absolutely necessary to be Connected to the word of God and Engaged in living life with the people of God. It is time for you to take the next step in your life, faith and spirituality. Time to | Connect | Engage | Exhibit

Faith Outings
Many youth never get the chance to enjoy the countryside or to see real animals that aren't on Youtube. We were blessed to sponsor a child in a weekend event of horseback riding, country living, and of course prayer. That was not a one-time event. We have worked with hundreds of youth and young adults. From basketball programs, to career development, to baptisms, our church is dedicated to not only speaking JESUS, but living out the bible for those around us to see.

Christian Content
The most important thing we do is to teach and preach the gospel. We dedicate our time, finances, and our lives in the effort to display the Jesus of the bible to as many people as possible. We minister on the street, we go into poor and underserved communities to bring hope and plant churches, we create evangelical youtube videos targeted at those who want a relationship with God, but may not physically be able to drive to a physical church. For us, Jesus is everything and we try our best to display this to everyone we encounter.

This is a shot of our very first Christian short film entitled Transformation. We decided to create Christian content for the Soul Purpose of combatting the mountains of ungodly content available online. We do not believe that we will drown out all of the secular videos and movies available for streaming, however, we do believe that in time we can create enough great Christian content to give those looking for better an alternative.
