fRom pAsToR DAnWhat a humbling experience to serve as your Pastor. The privilege of leading our faith family has generated a surprising level of joy & fulfillment for me. Thank God He’s challenged us to remain focused on 3 vitals this past year: • Treasure Jesus above all else, • Root yourselves in loving small groups and • Re-imagine a high-impact kids & family ministry.
I believe it’s worth noting where I sense God leading us here in 2011 & beyond:
FUTURE GOALS:• Provide one clear entry point for spiritual leadership
development. The target result is biblically shaped elders, deacons and church members.
• Call for ongoing development of and participation in our small groups environment.
• Discern & commit to a God-sized cause outside our church walls. Our goal is to cultivate a transformative local church committed to a global impact for the sake of God’s Name. This is expressed in both an individual missionary lifestyle & a corporate church family setting.

mInIStryproceSSOUR MINISTRY PROCESSWhen picturing our spiritual discipleship strategy, think “next steps”. So rather than separating our church family into groups by their age & gender, imagine what it might look like to separate them according to their most pressing spiritual need. Try to think along the lines of grouping people who are similarly interested in discovering Jesus, new believers, curious about church membership & ministry investment, and spiritual leadership. Instead of assigning everyone to a group by similar age or gender, they’re invited to walk a spiritual maturity path. The goal then would be progress, not just participation. In fact, picture a system of care much like a spiritual hospital - from triage to recovery. Contrast that sharply against a system of social segmentation that, if not diagnosed carefully, could start to resemble a spiritual Country Club.
That’s our strategy.
By targeting spiritual needs, we aim to guide people on a path to discover: Jesus, community, & mission. Some of our current environments that intentionally cultivate these most are: our Celebrate Recovery class, Sunday worship service, our Essentials class, small groups, our Discover Membership track & ministry teams.
Our Biblical tools to measure individual growth and track results within each environment are: water baptism, church membership, ministry gift investment, & an individual self-sacrificial missionary lifestyle.
Like every church, it’s increasingly evident that we’re faced with limitless wants and needs and we daily strive to discern our Biblical response to meet them. Let us, also, never forget the wise council of well respected men who help remind us how to think about developing a programming strategy:
“The enemy of (doing a few things) “great” is (doing a lot of things) “good”.” ~ Jim Collins in Good to Great
“The more programming the churches…offered, the less they grew. Less really is more….For thriving churches it was clear that less programs meant more impact.” ~ Thom Rainer in Simple Church

WORSHIPFAITH
My heart surrendered to & centered around Jesus alone.
My single most treasure & source of joy-filled satisfaction is a thriving awareness of who He is & what He has rescued
me from. This joy is expressed in my individual lifestyle
priorities & active participation in a weekly gathering of corporate family worship.
[Philippians 3:8]{BIBLICAL CHRISTOLOGY}
GROWFAMILY
Our church & family relationships provide the vital
environment needed to deepen our unified faith & friendships. In order to grow our unity & love for God’s Name sake, we “do life together” in smaller disciple-making groups, around our dinner tables, living rooms or in training classrooms
& teams.[Ephesians 4:11-15, 1 Timothy 2:2]
{BIBLICAL ECCLESIOLOGY}
SERVEMISSION
My primary life mission is to helpmake God’s name famous, bothamong the people He has placednear me & around the world. Each day is an opportunity to obediently
prioritize & participate in Jesus’mission to build His Church &reveal Himself to the world. I
embrace a self-sacrificing missionary lifestyle of one sent
out to reveal Jesus to my culture. [John 17:18]

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING
VISITOR STORY #1
“In August we moved to the area and after visiting a few churches we came to North Central. Our family was greeted with such warmth and love and the follow-up from the pastoral staff really made us feel welcome. We knew we had found our new church home.”
VISITOR STORY #2
“I really feel a stronger connection to God since I began reading the Bible and attending church regularly. I feel very moved during the services and just feel that I’m truely meant to be there.”
VISITOR STORY #3
“When I visited North Central I felt very com-fortable and at peace. I was impressed with and fed by the message. I loved the music! I was impressed as well, that, with only knowing me a short time, Pastor Dan visited me during a recent hospital stay.”

$464,7952 CORINTHIANS 9:7-10You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.

“...But I’m concerned that the church has turned into a bunker where we seek shelter when we’re actually called
to storm the gates of hell. Does that sound safe? I can’t imagine a more daring or dangerous mission.”
