We believe there is great value in a church-wide emphasis on discipleship. As such, our 2021 theme is "A Time To Grow," and it contains three facets that give balance to discipleship: Growing Ourselves through Prayer and Obedience, Growing Others through Love and Support, and Growing Outward through Service and Witness.
Grow Ourselves through Prayer and Obedience
The first element of the theme, Growing Ourselves, speaks to our devotional life. According to Scripture, we have a responsibility to grow spiritually. Peter instructs us to “make every effort to add” godly character to our faith and to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 1:5; 3:18). The question is, “How do we do that?”
The answer is that we chiefly grow through daily prayer to God and obedience to his Word. Jesus connects these two means of grace when he says, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples” (John 15:7-8).
To remain in the Lord and to have his Word remain in you is to obey his Word through his power. This faith-inspired obedience is the foundation of effective prayer that produces fruit in and through our lives. Thus, the more we read and obey the Word and the more that we bring our requests to God through prayer, the more we mature spiritually.

Grow Others through Love and Teaching
Growing Others means learning how to disciple others and then intentionally seeking opportunities to do so. It is an investment of love and time in people so that they might mature and be equipped to grow others (2 Tim. 2:2).
Love and instruction go together, and God intends that we combine them for the good of the church. Ephesians 4:15-16 says, “Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”
The path for fostering growth in others is paved with love and teaching. Love without truth delivers no direction; truth without love supplies no support. If we are to disciple people, then we must combine love and teaching in order to give direction and support. Both are essential.

Grow Outward through Service and Witness
The life of Jesus inextricably links service and redemption. He is the Suffering Servant who “did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Isa. 52:13-53:12; Mark 10:45). Our Lord proclaimed truth, healed the lame, freed the demonized, fed thousands, raised the dead, and suffered for sinners. In so doing, Jesus modeled for us the way to carry out his mission.
We grow outward when we serve the broken and when we witness to them about Jesus. To serve others is to do good, beneficial acts for them (Rom. 12:20-21). To witness about Jesus is to tell people that the King of kings died for their sins and rose to life, and that he stands ready to forgive if they will but trust him alone for salvation (Luke 24:46-48).
Service and witness are part of being light in a dark world. As we do good works, light shines on God for those in darkness (Matt. 5:16), and as we speak the good news, light reveals salvation to those far away (Acts 13:47). In this manner, service and witness partner to push back darkness and to rescue the lost.
