How have you seen God working in your life?
Church planting is a very humbling process! I have I came into this new work with lots of ideas in my mind of how it would all play out and the real life version of this continues to humble me. In so many ways, with this church, with my family, with His leading in my life, It has forced me to trust God more and more, and He has been so faithful through all the twists and turns.
How have you seen God working in your family?
As our family sought to relocate to the city in which we are planting, everything started so normal (February 2020), then everything in the housing market went dead because of the pandemic (March 2020). Selling our old house was so delayed that we were one week away from losing the new house we were buying. But God gave us incredible favor: two days before the contract expired the builder extended us 30 days, and we ultimately sold our old house just in time. Praise God!
How have you seen God working in your church?
So many ways, but one that is such a praise: Launch Sunday, April 18, 2021. What a glorious day! The presence of God, the incredible worship, such a great time of worship and celebration! We had such great support from our Launch Team who served; and so many that participated: ministry partners, new friends and guests in the community as well as our Launch Team. Thankful for this special Sunday that marked a great beginning for all that God wants to do in our community through this new church.
Church Mission & Vision
Where does my help come from? You can see much of our vision in our church name, Ascent, which comes from Psalm 121, which asks this question: where does my help come from? Psalm 121 is known as a song of ascent, because of the journey made by the people of God as they traveled up to Jerusalem. It is a beautiful picture of COMMUNITY, as the people of God journey together to worship. And it is a picture of GRACE, as we face difficulties in our lives, we lift our eyes and see the answer is amazing grace: our help comes from the Lord.
