WHY START A NEW CHURCH?
Aren’t there enough churches?
Why start another one?
To raise up new leaders.
When a new church is starting it comes with a lot of opportunities for God to raise up leaders for His Glory. People who may have been sitting the bench or just going through the motions may find themselves being challenged to grow and develop into a leader. In Jesus’s ministry He chose some people who weren’t exactly leadership material and invested in them. By the time the church really began to form, those same guys who weren’t ideal candidates were now turning the world upside down! We believe that starting this new church is an opportunity to raise up and develop new leaders who can help change one person’s world at a time. Are you one of these new leaders? We’d love to get to know you!
To reach people other churches aren’t.
I did not just stumble across this relationship with Christ on my own - a new church plant in my hometown welcomed me into a place that allowed me to be accepted as I was, taught through biblical truths, and challenged to grow to be more like Jesus & less like myself. Our desire is to be that place for someone else, right here in North County.
To point people to freedom in Jesus.
At the age of 17, I (Matt) ran from the church. My brothers and I had experienced an unforeseen divorce and instead of turning to God with my pain, I tried to figure it out on my own. I used this as an excuse to do whatever I wanted, when I wanted. The next 5 years of my life was spent creating a cycle of inconsistency in my emotions, my relationships with others, and ultimately my ability to find hope. I found myself desperately searching everywhere for freedom from the chaos I had created in my life. It wasn’t until I surrendered my life to Jesus that I experienced a freedom that did not ever go away. It was a freedom from not only the things that I had done but also the shame and guilt that came along with them. We want EVERYONE to experience the freedom that Jesus offers to anyone who calls upon his name & chooses to follow him.
