REACH Helping you discover a personal relationship with Christ & share your faith with others Relationships Relationships that are meaningful and authentic are the best way to reach the heart of an irreligious person. The love and interest we show cultivates the ground in preparation for sowing the seeds of the Gospel. Story A key element of any relationship is your story. It's as simple as describing the life you knew apart from God, the forgiveness He gave you and the changes He has made in you. Invitation As we grow in our confidence and ability, we invite others to participate in the Truths we're learning and experiencing. Every aspect of our programming is coordinated with your friends in mind. The groundwork you have laid through your relationship and story, followed by the impact of our culturally relevant and creative programming, brings home the message of Jesus Christ TEACH Teaching you to apply Biblical principles and celebrate them in community. Growth Being committed to growth is key in your relationship with God and others. Community Live! participation allows you to enjoy the corporate celebration of life at Woodcrest. There you can be inspired and motivated to grow and participate as a part of the body of Christ. Groups Life change happens best in a context in which you can care and be cared for. God has called us to serve one another in community, and we have a responsibility to pursue community with those whom we serve, even in times of adversity. Commitment Committing yourself personally to the purpose, mission and values is a call to loyalty, to being faithful in fulfilling your commitments in God's kingdom. SEND Sending you into your world to make a difference in Jesus' name. God has given every believer spiritual gifts and these are to be used for the common good. Network classes are offered specifically to help you discover your ministry niche. Ministry Whether in a small group, on a serving team or in the community, every participating member knows they are truly part of the church when their spiritual gifts are being used to further God's work. Woodcrest has many task teams where you can put your gifts into the game. Lifestyle Allow God to move from the peripheral edges of your life toward the center of your life. God asks for you to yield yourself to Him, becoming ever more Christ-like in your daily life. |
