Where we are going matters,
but who we are becoming matters more.

As we prepare to make a physical move as a church this fall, we are preparing ourselves for God to move in us.
We are preparing for a space that will make room for others by making room for God within us.
To do that, we are committing as a church family to consider what thing(s) we can minimize or cut out our our lives to make room for either a new spiritual practice or room for more focus on a current spiritual practice.
Below, you will find a spiritual practice for each week of the Making Room sermon series.
We recommend that you NOT attempt to do all these if they are all new to you. Pick one. Develop it as a habit for a time. Then consider what spiritual practice should be added next in your life.
Your goal is not perfect completion. It is moving in the direction of building a consistent spiritual practice, while recognizing it will take time, you may not notice it "working" initially, and you will not do it perfectly.
But if you continue to show up and ask the Holy Spirit to do His hidden work within you, over time, you will find that God has transformed you to be a little bit more the person He intends you to become.

With God through the Church Family

The Christian life is more than just a commitment to Christ; but it includes a commitment to other Christians in the church. You become a Christian by committing yourself to Christ, but you become a church member by committing yourself to a specific group of believers.

With God through Serving

"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." ... "For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you." (John 13:15)
Serving others is core to following Jesus because serving others is what Jesus did.
Though serving is not limited to the church building walls, you can start building a lifestyle of serving others by serving others through your local church.
As The Exchange, we say Doorholders instead of volunteers because volunteers can sound like people who randomly sign up and hopefully show up, while Doorholders take ownership and take great pleasure in opening a way for others to see and experience Jesus.

With God through Generosity

God calls His people to worship and trust Him through giving. He promises to care for us as we take this difficult step. But the reality is, it's incredibly difficult when the ends of your paycheck and bills don't meet.
Our goal is not only to encourage you toward a step of faith in God's faithful provision, but to also equip you in knowing how to manage your finances in a wise God honoring manner.
Tap the first button below to find resources that address the mindset issues and practical issues around money. Tap the second button below to see how you can worship through giving with The Exchange.
