Folded into the Season Of Salvation is a broad plan for our church that includes Weekly Prayer Meetings every Monday evening and Tuesday morning. These are continuing and you are welcome to come and pray for the church and its pastors, members of our church family and the local community.

Salvation Plan
"For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." II Corinthians 6:2
"For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." II Corinthians 6:2
In his May 2, 2021, sermon, Pastor Mark said: "It is time for the church to rise up! It is time for the church to become what God has called us to be...Get ready...Now is the season of salvation!"

Why this Series? The purpose of salvation is to restore humanity to relationship with God. Through the cross of Jesus, the barriers were removed. When we begin to trust God and turn from our sin, He comes into our lives to begin a new relationship of love with us. Our faith and love towards God will lead us to recognize His presence, through prayer, worship studies/small groups and fellowship.
Strategies for The Season Of Salvation
GROW DEEP
We grow deep in Jesus Christ when we practice “holy habits” we learn from the word of God, ask for the grace to discern and develop our gifts, and invite the Holy Spirit to transform our weaknesses into strengths, so that we equip our members to mature in an intimate walk with Jesus Christ within an accountable community of love and peace.
How to reach the potential of God's plan for the local Church? Real Life Discipleship Study. A 12-week study that includes small group atmosphere, interactive activities, the Word of god, homework and summaries.
Step 1: Clergy group goes through the study.
Step 2: Clergy group instructs the leaders through the study.
Step 3: Leaders recruit future teachers to take the study.
Step 4: Teachers can conduct the study for the Church/Community.

GROW UP
In Jesus Christ when we continually seek God’s direction, are empowered by the Holy Spirit, and undergirded by prayer, so that our worship is dynamic, energizing the people and glorifying God.
How to reach the potential of God’s plan for the local Church? Through worship with deliberate salvific focus. Prayer meetings.
Step 1: All worship services will be designed for the call to Salvation. Connectors in each service. (See Grow Out)
Step 2: Prayer meetings. Have prayer meetings for the Church/Community several times a week. During the day (for those who don’t drive) and during the evening.

GROW OUT
In Jesus Christ when we tell the world why we love Him and reach out as God’s arms to serve our community and our world with a welcoming and loving witness, so that we can be a part of the work of the Holy Spirit, building a community of peace with justice, meeting the needs of God’s world, and touching the hearts of the lost.
How to reach the potential of God’s plan for the local Church? Train who we call "Connectors" and help organize community worship services.
Step 1: Train Connectors
A Connector is someone who has been trained to pray and discuss salvation/rededication with someone who responded during our worship services. The Connector will handout literature to those who responded. One or two Connectors will be at each service.
Step 2: Community Worship Services
Visit each community pavilion/park and have worship with the community members.
