Elements City Church
It’s a new year. A new day. And we all could use a REFRESH as we begin this journey forward into 2021. Join in as we travel into the calling God has for us and your part in it. To reach up and reach out. To get equipped and live as a sent one for God and His good in our city and community.

We are to REACH OUT, because Jesus came to seek out each one of us.
Jesus said - Luke 19:10
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.”
Questions to ponder:
How is Jesus calling you live out this REACH value?
-Reach up (worship - grow you love for God)
-Reach out (grow a love for others; you care & share about Jesus)
How might He call you to help your church live out this value?
