The 3-G's: A Place to Gather, Grow, and Be Equipped to GO!
Gather
When we gather as a community in worship the Lord promises to be with us. "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20 NIV) Whenever we come together as the Body of Christ we strive to Praise, Honor, and Bring Glory to our Lord. We gather to Worship, Study, encourage, and refresh our spirit as we journey together.
Grow
When we study God's word, our relationship with Him strengthens. When we study with other believers, we receive encouragement and spiritual mentorship which strengthens and builds us up. "From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." (Ephesians 4:16 NIV)
GO
Christ called us to Share the Good News of the Gospel. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20 NIV) To fulfill the Great Commission we are called to live our faith out through action. What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? (James 2:14 NIV)
At Ascension we Gather together to give praise and honor to our Lord and Savior, we Grow and strengthen disciples through the study of Gods truth in the Bible, and we equip each other to Go and be the Hands and Feet of Jesus in this world!
