Midpoint of the Cannonball Initiative
We jumped!
One year ago, we set out on an adventure of discipleship called Cannonball. So many of us made life-altering decisions and jumped into deeper faith, life, and generosity. And after that initial splash, we’re now seeing exactly the kinds of waves we prayed for; waves of ministry, impact, and legacy.
In nearly every area, we see God doing more than we expected.
Celebrating what’s still to come.
We know what it’s like to jump, and we’re more ready than ever to keep living lives that are fully committed to Jesus. This is the midpoint of a two-year journey, which means we have further to go, but we won’t miss this chance to celebrate what we have already seen God do among us.
Our Primary Goal:
Jump all-in.
Our Primary Goal is 100% Engagement
That each and every person at FCC would engage fully in the Cannonball initiative by jumping in with their whole lives. Cannonball is about discipleship - growing into the likeness of Christ together. We invite every person to engage with God, engage with God’s Word, and ultimately take that leap and jump all-in.
Jump into Faith
Lean into radical obedience to Christ, taking steps that lead you into greater dependence on God.
Jump into Life
Commit to living the DNA of Jesus as you love God, love everyone, make disciples, and tell your story.
Jump into Generosity
Use everything God has provided you—time, talents, and treasures, for eternal purposes.
Our Secondary Goal:
Make Waves
If we commit ourselves to the primary goal of 100% engagement, we trust that God will work through us to invest $13.3 million over two years to expand our ministry, impact our region, and begin the development of our new facility.
$13.3M of mission advancement over 2 years.
Wave of Ministry - $6M
This encompasses all of our core ministry over the next two years. We are trusting God to continue growing the ministry of First Christian Church to all generations through worship, service, discipleship, and evangelism.
Wave of Impact - $1.3M
We will make an immediate ministry impact in four areas that have been core to our mission strategy over the last 150 years and will be in the years to come. These investments will go beyond our normal ministry budget and will be designed to make an immediate ministry impact that sends out waves for years to come.
Wave of Legacy - $6M
To prepare for the next fifty-years of ministry, we will begin work on a major campus update and expansion. This expansion will include every area of our building and all of our infrastructure. This will update and modernize our building and provide long overdue expansions to our capacity to serve those God is sending to our church. Our core building has been blessing our ministry for the last 50 years and we will be establishing a home for the next 50.
