You're called to an impossible mission—but here's the good news: you don't have to do it alone. Just like any big job requires support, your calling as a disciple of Christ is meant to be lived out in community. Lean on your siblings in Christ, trust the Holy Spirit's guidance, and watch how spiritual gifts work together to change the world.

What a fantastic day of Spirit-led discernment! We were blessed to have Nathan Swenson-Reinhold and Mike Rinehart to guide us through a visioning process to clarify our mission and values as we journey through the strategic planning process. We are grateful for all those who have participated in the process through prayer, survey and the Identity Advance event!

We are diving into Spiritual Gifts in our new series, "Gifted."
In our modern world it is easy to succumb to envy. But Romans 12:4 reminds us, "for as in one body we have many members and not all members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ."
What gifts has God given you?

There is no such thing as an “ungifted” child of God.
God has given you gifts.

Not so you can compare yourself to someone else.
Not so you can prove your worth.
Not so you can keep it for yourself.

The Holy Spirit gives different gifts to different people because the Body of Christ needs all of us.

Some teach.
Some encourage.
Some serve.
Some lead.
Some create.
Some organize.
Some listen.
Some show mercy.

Your gift may look completely different from someone else's.

That's the point.

This week we begin "GIFTED by the Spirit." Over the coming weeks, we're going to discover what spiritual gifts are, begin recognizing the gifts God has placed within us, and learn to celebrate the gifts God has placed in one another.

Every person matters. Every gift matters.
