 MONDAYS AT 7:00PM
What is G.R.O.W.?
G.R.O.W. is a unique outreach and inreach ministry designed to carry out the Great Commission by touching the lives of people in our community and within our church.
Principles of G.R.O.W.
Sowing and Reaping Galatians 6:7 – You will always reap what you sow! If you are not sowing in the lives of the lost or in the lives of those in the church, you are not going to reap anything.
Involving Every Member
Ephesians 4:16 – Under His direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its share, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. Every member has been saved to serve God. We all have a unique S.H.A.P.E. Imagine what God will do as we all work together in sowing in the lives of others. We are looking for 100% participation from our members!
Having Fun with Outreach
John 4:35-36 – Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest. What joy awaits both the planter and harvester alike! There is no greater joy than working with fellow believers in leading others to Christ and encouraging others in the Lord.
Making Quality Time Greater than Quantity Time
Ephesians 5:16 – Making the most of your time, because the days are evil. People in our church are very busy and there is a great demand for your time. With that in mind, will you commit to join a G.R.O.W. team for only 1 Wednesday night each month?
Reaching Out by Divine Appointment
John 5:17 – My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I, too, am working. God is always at work in drawing the lost to Himself and making His children more like His Son. God partners with His church to work with Him. Unless we are in the process of going, we will never encounter those divine appointments.
