Engaging Our City

“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” (Jeremiah 29:7)

Impact Areas are opportunities for our church to live out the Biblical mandate to seek the welfare of our city, primarily through those in our body who are partnering with external ministries and churches.

Each Impact Area is responsible for connecting our body to their respective issues, equipping our body to ensure they are able to engage the issues with knowledge and zeal (Ephesians 4:11-12), and mobilizing the body to love and serve the community outside of the four walls of our church (Matthew 5:16).
