Project Description

The Apostle Peter writes, “Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy” (1 Peter 2:10). Because we have received mercy through the gospel of Jesus Christ, the local church is no ordinary community—it is the very community of God’s people, a colony of heaven on earth. As such, we’re called to live God-centered lives, shining as lights in the midst of a fallen world. Pastors have the great privilege of leading their churches to live lives centered on God: delighting in his presence, joyfully pursuing godliness, and doing all things for his glory. We do this by our example, and through our preaching, pastoring, discipleship, and leadership.
