Envisioning the Vision
Take a moment to slow down, quiet your heart, and imagine the vision of Griggs again…
• You walk into Griggs and see a very diverse group of people worshipping, conversing, and serving together with the familiarity of a family dinner.
• The poor, the rich, and everyone in between are mixing in a happy, hospitable environment so spirit-led a group prayer could break out at any moment.
• You go downstairs and check your child into a super fun but serious kids ministry that teaches theology as if it’s a little church within the church.
• You go upstairs to enjoy a beautifully simple service that is all about Jesus. You hear teachings about Jesus’ rich way of life for us individually and corporately and are reminded so frequently of the good news that your anxieties and frustrations dissolve under a grace that enables you to rejoice in all things, even suffering.
• You are always welcomed to Griggs Groups, that you might live in community. You have others back, and they have yours. You work together to redeem past tragedy and fight future temptations.
• You are given service pathways that help you grow in your spiritual gifting. You give knowing that everything is going to make one of the darkest areas in our city light up with good news and good deeds.
• You hear updates from the stage about other simple churches that we collaborate with and how they are making their West Side neighborhood noticeably better. We know what’s up with them because we are one. We share a network of pastors, resources, and energy throughout the Mill Crescent.
