Why are we focusing on outreach beyond the walls of the church? Shouldn’t we focus on growing existing ministries to our church family and completing our facilities?

 In a church of 4,000 members we have plenty of people and resources to do both. It is not either/or. As people discover what God is showing them to do to make a difference, their level of commitment will increase, growing people are giving people. God will not give us the luxury of focusing only on ourselves and our own needs. As a church we must ask, “What does God want us to do and be?” Jesus said we are to love God and to love our neighbors. He commanded us to go into all the world and make disciples.
