You don’t want to miss what’s ahead with the Follow Initiative!
The Follow Initiative is based on this passage from God’s Word.
“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:23–27
In the coming days, we’ll share all the exciting details through a special mailing, this webpage, and the Follow Journal, designed for every student and adult. Plus, we’ll dive into a powerful six-week sermon series starting January 25–26 and gather at Vision Gatherings across all campuses to unpack the vision for the future of our church together.
The Vision Gatherings will feature the same inspiring content, so if your campus date doesn’t work, join us at a time that fits your schedule. You’ll want to be part of this journey as we step into all that God has for us—together!
