Launch of New Service Updates

It was a packed weekend but looking back we wouldn't want it any other way.  We wanted to let you know of updates for the launch of new weekly community focused worship services.  The approach to this new service will be to KEEP IT SIMPLE. 

1. Launch date is for Sunday, January 2, 2011

2. Service will start by 9:30 am and end before 10:45 am.  That's a total of 75 minutes.

3. In those 75 minutes, you will experience praise & worship, ministry of the Word, and time to connect with others.

4.  The target group is unchurched people from multiple nationalities and generations.  Each one brings one.  A friend just invites a friend. 

5.  There are 3 areas that will serve as the approach to ministry: OUTREACH, WORSHIP, FOLLOW-UP!  Serve the community with love, invite them and our friends to church, and connect them to small groups. 

6. A few teams for Sunday services (WORSHIP) were identified with team leads.  If you are interested in joining one of these teams, please let us know.
- Prayer Team
- Greeters & Ushers Team
- Worship Team
- Audio & Visual Team

7.  A team for OUTREACH - local, national, and international missions - is being formed.  A team for FOLLOW-UP - discipleship - is being formed. 

8. Vision Statement:

We see a Bible-based, Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, and multi-ethnic church that lives the Great Commission & Great Commandment!

9: Mission Statement:

REAP THE HARVEST

Restore lives for a Christ-centered purpose

Empower minds with knowledge of God

Align and develop leaders for service

Proclaim Jesus Christ in Biblical worship & lifestyle

10.  Most importantly we are going to spend time in fasting & prayer the last week of December and in future weeks to pray to become strong in Spirit, filled with heavenly wisdom, covered and led by grace of God.

If you would like to learn more or have any questions, please respond with a comment or email me at youthpastor@firstcog.com.  Keep this in prayer! 

Enjoying The Ride,
