Throughout history, many people haven't experienced a Church focused on the good in people & their communities. We're determined to change that by shining a light on & joining the good we see people and partners doing in our community.

Pay Attention to Stories

One way we are going to do this is to pay attention to stories – those that we’re a part of, and those that we hear from others. Stories that inspire us, stories that reveal God’s image and good work in our lives and others’ lives and the life of our communities. And when we know the story, let's celebrate the people involved in the stories – the good that happened to them or through them. Let's celebrate others who are investing in and alongside them to make it happen!

Shine a Light

"Taking the time to shine a light on the ways people & partners in our community intentionally invest in, encourage, befriend, and bless our neighbors is a great way to remember and to remind others that God is for them and with them--and so is His church! We also hope it inspires others to join the good they see God doing around them.'
