- Third, your gift will multiply. Lord willing, this church will grow deep roots and proclaim the message of grace and redemption for generations to come.

Projected Timeline
Year One 2020 – Our family will transition from Oxford, Mississippi to Collierville. The core group will begin meeting weekly in August on Sunday evenings for a Bible study. The focus for year one will center on raising support, gaining familiarity with the city of Collierville, and developing relationship with others in the community.
Year Two 2021 – In the second year, the core group will prayerfully and intentionally develop our future vision and mission goals. We will begin the process of moving towards regular worship. We will focus on leadership development and carrying out the mission of the church plant through ministry teams. Additionally, we hope to begin worship on Sunday mornings as well as make tremendous progress regarding our children's ministry. Year Three 2022 – In the third year, our prayer is that our journey has been one of graciousness proclaiming King Jesus to those who are hurting, questioning, doubting and searching in Collierville, Germantown, and the Memphis area. |
