As the pastor, I am occasionally asked what NEXT Church is about. What does the "framework" look like. Very simply, it's first and foremost about a PERSON, not just another "process." In all that we are doing or becoming we must keep the person of Jesus in clear view -- front and center! Then we are able to successfully "process" and avoid life's distractions that seek to keep HIM from where HE belongs in us -- front and center.
Philippians 3:12-14 -- Always moving forward and leaving a well marked map for the generation coming behind us -- to reach and speak HIS significance into their lives. Jesus is our first focus and the NEXT generation is our second focus:
-NEXT person encouraged... ...people were Jesus greatest concern and kingdom
resource.
-NEXT step enlisted... ...living, vibrant faith is always about taking the next
step.
-NEXT opportunity engaged... ...daily we're face with opportunity, none of which are a
surprise to God.
Loving God, Loving others and having fun living it!
