Rooted Initiative
Colossians 2:6-7
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Our Rooted Vision
God has done big things through City of God, and He has even more in store for us. We have established deeper and deeper roots in this community, which has resulted in tremendous growth. Rooted is a generosity initiative through which we will fund the two-year ministry plan of our church while also setting the resources in place to facilitate the purchase of the first permanent home of City of God. Together we will each consider the sacrificial commitments God would have us make as we become Rooted in Him and this exciting next chapter for our church.
What is the Rooted Initiative About?
Our Next
As we continue to grow, we need to be prepared for this next exciting chapter for City of God. A larger ministry center is necessary to serve the needs of the growing base of people and families we are now reaching. The first component of our Rooted Initiative is to have the resources in place to facilitate the purchase of the first permanent home of City of God.
Our Now
From day one, we have been a church that glorifies God by making disciples who love Jesus, love people, and advance the gospel. As we set aside resources for our first church home, we must make sure we keep the main thing, the main thing. The second component of our Rooted Initiative is to fund the two-year ministry plan of our church so that we continue to do all of the ministries we do now with even greater excellence.
