Jesus is the Way
"The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
Scripture in Focus:
John 10:1-19
New Living Translation
The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 “I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! 2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.4 After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice. 5 They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”
6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, 7 so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. 9 Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. 10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. 12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. 13 The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
17 “The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. 18 No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.”
19 When he said these things, the people were again divided in their opinions about him.
We Believe the Bible is true and from God..Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. That no one sees the father without going through him.

Our Goal
Proverbs 16:3 Commit your actions to the LORD,
and your plans will succeed
5 Year - Plan
Soup Kitchen: We will continue to grow, looking to upgrade our facilities with a new walk-in refrigerator and a new walk-in freezer. Update parking lot to accommodate 15 vehicles. New siding on the building adjacent to SK. We are praying for an overflow of Spirit filled volunteers that can meet physical and spiritual needs of our guests that come in each day.
Bible Teaching: Broaden our outreach with small groups to focus on specific needs of our church members i.e. Couples - New believers - Tongues - Witnessing groups - Mens and Womens groups and retreats
Prayer: Grow our prayer groups beyond Thursday night prayer. These would be prayer groups before church services, prayer at schools outside school hours, prayer walks around our city, prayer groups that would go with people to pray over new homes/apartments, prayer groups for hospitals and shut-ins.
Multi Media Outreach: Expand our outreach online and video to meet the needs of the next generation. Increasing advertisement in local areas. Develop an app that would have service times, the outlines from Sunday and Wednesday teachings and upcoming events
Youth: We are currently growing this ministry. We see the most growth potential here and some of the biggest impacts to families in our area, knowing there is a safe Godly alternative to what young people are being offered. We have our building, but we need workers including leaders in order to fill the great need we are experiencing
Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
