| Our mission is to attract and lead people to Christ, develop them toward maturity in Christ, equip them for ministry, and empower them through the Holy Spirit for a life mission in the world. |
Our BGW | Forward in Faith "Hearing From God" Captial Stewardship Campaign
process allows us to “set the table” for what we believe God has called us to do at Owosso Church of
the Nazarene and in our community, to share various ways in which we can partner with each other, and
to invite people to participate in an exciting journey together in seeking His guidance in terms of
personal involvement.
The Hearing from God Program
Our goal is that everyone in the congregation will participate in the campaign process. Our passion is
that they might look back at the campaign experience as one of the most spiritually enriching times of
their life.
Here are some things you can look forward to over the next several weeks:
There is a world outside our own that God longs to reveal to us and Jesus’ disciples realized this when
asking to learn more about how to pray. They could see Jesus’ great commitment to prayer, the time
dedicated to seeking the mind of God, and the impact the “times alone” had upon His work & ministry.
God also longs to reveal Himself to us. He is in the business of caring for His own, desirous to meet
our needs and longs to provide direction in a world that seems to have lost it.
The “Hearing from God” campaign might be a NEW BEGINNING for you! The results may surprise you!
As God speaks and His children obey, very significant things occur!
