We all fall into patterns of comfort that keep us coasting instead of growing. We invest in things that do not last and forget what matters most.
But when we wake up to the urgency of reaching a lost and broken world, and trust the God who never stops working, everything changes.
We believe God is waiting to move in us and through us in powerful new ways. All He needs is our best yes.
First let me say what an honor it has been to be a part of this movement of God with you. What we are experiencing in the life of our church is nothing short of a miracle. I am wholeheartedly convinced that God is not done using Trace Church to continue to change and transform lives.
This is why we have chosen to enter into a two-year discipleship journey called “Return.”
This journey is designed to challenge each of us to glorify Jesus and to prepare the way for Him to do even more. I am personally excited to walk this journey alongside of you and be inspired to even greater things for His glory and to advance His gospel.
I am thankful for the shoulders that we all get to stand on, those who have gone before
us who have served faithfully and given sacrificially. But right now, friends, it is our time. Now is our opportunity. Let’s go make Jesus famous in this city!
Our goal is for everyone at Trace to seek what God is calling them to in this season. This is a journey of spiritual growth, awakening our hearts to generosity, perspective, and purpose. As we step out in faith, we trust God to grow our courage and deepen our conviction.
We are trusting God to provide our goal of $13MM, supporting both the ongoing ministry of Trace Church and the expansion and outreach efforts needed to impact our community and reach beyond our city.
This journey is about securing our future church home. We do not believe this will simply be a bigger building, but a place that fuels ministry and prepares people to live on mission. Our heart is for everyone at Trace to feel inspired and equipped to be a trace of God’s love everywhere they go. We want to continue removing obstacles and increasing opportunities to get people to Jesus, and we believe God wants to use YOU. That is why we are offering Faith Development Courses designed to educate, equip, and empower you to share the gospel where you live, work, and play. We are also praying about an initiative to offer advanced-level Bible and ministry training for those who want to take the next step in their spiritual formation. Through your generosity, we also hope to significantly increase our ministry capacity and outreach. We believe God is unleashing the next generation of leaders to become one of the most influential generations the church has ever seen. Because of that, we plan to add additional staff, resources, scholarships, internships, and tools to better prepare and equip our young people to be a trace of God’s love wherever they go.
