Annual Report - 242 Community Church

Annual Report
introduction:the nine
2|42 Community Church exists for the sole purpose of helping
people take next steps with God. We believe the NINE chart serves
as a great tool to help people continually move forward in three
key relationships on their walk with Christ.
Our relationship with God is uniquely connected to our relationship
with others. Through Small Groups and Coaching relationships,
we can intentionally and consistently help each other through the
journey of life and discover more of God together.
CONTRIBUTE: Impact the World
As people draw closer to God through celebration and connection,
they’ll eventually contribute to the ministry through service and
generosity. It’s usually at the contribution stage that people really
begin to “own” the ministry and mission of the church
As you read through the 2014 Annual Report, you will see that God
has blessed us with growth, influence, and the ability to watch
more and more people move along the NINE, growing significantly
in their faith.

CONNECT
Weekend Services are the front door to 2|42. It’s where most visitors
first connect to the church. It’s our goal that through worship all who
attend will experience God. Once someone accepts Christ as their
personal Savior we encourage them to take the next step of baptism
and begin the habit of a daily encounter with God through prayer,
scripture, and reflection.

celebrate:baptisms
Maybe your next step is the ultimate next step to say YES to Jesus for the
very first time, to put your faith in Him and get baptized.
Maybe you’ve been walking with Jesus for a while but nobody talked to
you about baptism or going public with your faith? You can make that
decision today.
We believe baptism is the outward expression of an inward decision to
follow Jesus.

celebrate:dailyencounter
God’s invitation, in the very beginning, was to know him and to
walk with him as It still is today. God wants to be close to us and
just like any other relationship, we get closer to God by spending
time with him - in prayer and by reading and meditating on God’s
Word.
The S.O.A.P. online journal is a tool that invites people to
encounter God through a daily dose of Scripture, Observations
about said scripture, its Applications to daily life and then a
short prayer or S.O.A.P.

Seeking Coaching?
What is it Exactly?
I’d like to Coach!
The best place to find a coach is in a
small group where people naturally
make connections with others who
have the wisdom and experience to
invest.
Being coached is a process of learning
from and imitating someone who is
a little farther along on their journey
with Christ.
Coaching is about developing relationships
and taking responsibility for someone
else’s next steps. The role of a coach is
not only to help someone else know more
about God and scripture, but to become
more like God and what scripture calls
them to be.
contribute:team
We believe that God created everyone with a passion and a specific skill set that can
be used to do great things. Our reach as a church grows as people give back with
their time, talents, and finances. There are many volunteer teams that keep 2|42
Community Church up and running.
