How We'll Get to Where
God Wants Us to BeFive-step Strategy:
Our five-step strategy starts with those who are heading for an eternity without Christ. It then lays out the steps we’ll take to join with God in bringing them to a better life here on earth and the best life later in heaven. This process also serves as a map for our own spiritual growth.
First we build relationships with those who are not pursuing Christ, then we share our faith in Christ, then we invite and participate with them in a LifeGroup, special event or worship, then we strengthen them in worship services, then we encourage them to serve. While these steps don’t always happen in order, they help us break down what seems to be a daunting task into smaller, more workable steps.
RELATE
Scriptural Basis: John 13:34-35 (Msg) - "Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other."
Mission: to build relationships with those who are not pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ.

INVITE
Scriptural Basis: Luke 5:29-32 (Msg) - Levi gave a large dinner at his home for Jesus. Everybody was there, tax men and other disreputable characters as guests at the dinner. The Pharisees and their religion scholars came to his disciples greatly offended. "What is he doing eating and drinking with crooks and ‘sinners’?"
Jesus heard about it and spoke up, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I’m here inviting outsiders, not insiders—an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out."
Mission: to help organize LifeGroups and events as well as invite or better yet, bring people to LifeGroups, worship services or events. This is how most people come to Christ and His Church.
