Summary
A State of the Church address celebrating growth in baptisms (666 to 1,190), attendance (6,117 to 7,705 average), and missions (11 church plants, 12-13 missionaries commissioned). The pastor frames the church's expansion as fulfilling its mission to reach Northwest Arkansas, America, and the world for Jesus Christ through generosity, discipleship, and Great Commission obedience.
Highlights
The mission matters most. It matters more than the pastor. It matters more than you. It matters more than all of our preferences, more than all of our opinions, and certainly more than all of our comfort.
We need every single family joining us in the journey of generosity. No guilt. Join us in the adventure and in the fun of giving.
God did not call a few professional Christians to take the gospel to the world. He called every single one of us across church to be a part of taking the gospel to the world.
