4 Practical Steps Both Campuses Should Pray Over and Consider

Recommit to the Core Practices
Every person and every family is invited to name and pursue their “one.” We will simplify the pathway so that identifying, praying for, and inviting one person becomes normal rather than exceptional, while praying specifically for the next generation.
Accelerate the ONE Church Integration
The merger is not a side project; it is central to our Wake Up Initiative in 2027. We will continue clear communication while remaining open to all concerns and questions. At the same time, we will shape and finish the governance, staffing, and ministry alignment steps so we function as one body with two campuses. Our mission is not to take over from either side—the mission is expanded outreach, fulfilling the Great Commission on both sides of the mountain. One church, two locations. One Family. One Mission.
Focused Next-Generation Investment
Concentrate resources and leadership energy on students, young adults, and young families in both communities.
Clear Metrics and Accountability
Track clear metrics (attendance, returning guests, baptisms, Rooted engagement, and active “ones”) with regular honest review. We will release a ONE Kingdom Impact Report at the end of each semester with these metrics for the church to review and pray over.

Wake Up Initiative Dates
January 1, 2027 – December 31, 2027.
