In 2016 we launched our 2020 Vision.

Part of that 2020 Vision was the belief that, by the year 2020, God wanted to use us to “radically bless our city through acts of generosity and the mobilization of 80% of our small groups in local mission projects.”

That same year our small groups set a 2016 goal of mobilizing 50% of the groups in blessing the city. In order to be considered a group that was “blessing the city” they had to plan and participate a minimum of 6 ministry projects for the calendar year.

They reached their goal. Not only did 50% of our groups engage in at least 6 projects each. 100% of our small groups engaged in at least one “Bless The City” initiative!

Our small groups are to be commended for their creativity and labor of love.

2017 is upon us and the work is not done.

Small groups are challenged once again to “BLESS OUR CITY”!

Henry Blackaby, in his book “Experiencing God” popularized the truth that God is always at work. He encouraged us to look and see where God is working and then to join Him in the work.

This page will help to show you some of the areas that God is working and how you can join Him in the work.

Jesus said, ”…let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

Let’s be that city on a hill brightly shining the light of Christ in the Big Country.

Did you know that:

• Some 20 percent of all people who have ever lived past age 65 are alive now!

• In 1860, half the population of the United States was under age 20, and the vast majority of the population was not expected to live to age 65.3

• From 1990 to 1996, the number of Americans 65 or newer increased elevenfnew (from 3.1 million to 33.9 million). The overall percentage of the population 65 and newer increased from 4.1 to 12.84

• In 1940, just 7 percent of those age 65 would survive to age 90; by 2050, the number will climb to an astonishing 42 percent!

• In just 30 years, the number of people in the United States over 65 will more than double to reach 70 million people! Such growth means that nearly 1 in 5 Americans will fit this category, up from 1 in 100 in 1900.
