Vision for 2025: Spiritual Development
Dear Church Family,
As we prepare for the new year, 2025, I am excited to share our theme: Spiritual Development. It is my prayer as your pastor that we grow closer to God, align our lives with His will, and become stronger in our faith walk. To achieve this, we must commit to prayer, fasting, and meditation. These practices are vital to building a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and strengthening our foundation in Him.
Spiritual development is a journey that requires dedication, reflection, and action. Together, we can grow as individuals and as a church family, to the glory of God. Below are key areas of focus for our growth:
Three Pillars of Spiritual Development
1 Spiritual Discipline
- Dedicate time daily to Bible reading and devotions.
- Make intentional efforts to cultivate a deeper understanding of God’s Word.
2 Self-Reflection
- Regularly evaluate your personal faith journey.
- Identify areas where you can grow closer to God.
3 Study and Application
- Actively practice the spiritual principles you learn.
- Let your faith shine through your actions.
Building a Stronger Prayer Life
- Develop a consistent prayer routine.
- Partner with a prayer companion for mutual encouragement.
Strengthening Fellowship and Community
- Build relationships within the Laura Grove family.
- Restore and nurture families within the community.
- Encourage and uplift one another in faith.
Fostering Unity and Growth
- Invite others to join us in worship.
- Engage actively in church ministries.
- Participate in Sunday School and Bible Study to deepen your spiritual knowledge.
Let us move forward together, united in love and purpose. As we work toward spiritual development, may we glorify God in all we do and grow as a beacon of light in our community.
To God be the glory, always. I love you all deeply and am blessed to serve as your pastor.
In Jesus’ Name,
Pastor Andre J. Saunders
