A few months ago Catalyst (the twenty-something community of Faith Church) began dreaming. We felt like God was calling us to reach out to those 18-30 in our local community. Doing a little bit of research we found out that there are approximately 40,000 young adults in a ten-mile radius of Faith Church. To us that number seemed daunting. Overwhelming. Not doable.
One day in my office, trying to figure out how 40,000 people fit into our vision, a number popped into my head. 1%. After a little reflection, I felt like the Lord was saying, "reach out to 1%."
400 twenty-somethings. 1% of 40,000. "12 Weeks That Will Change Your Life" is for them. We are trying, striving and praying to create a space where young adults can get real about their lives, get connected to other like-minded friends, and get serious about Jesus. We think that this isn't just our heart but God's heart too.
Tomorrow night, The Garage will be packed with twenty-somethings. If you are 18-30, we encourage you to come and check it out. If you aren't, invite those who are. And more than anything, pray!
We are excited to see what God does.
