70% of 🇺🇸 adults say the Church has little to no positive impact on culture.
We have spent the past year studying these trends, and praying that God would give us a vision for the future of our church. These stats represent the reality that we face. The bad news of of our past and present.
The good news is that the Church is not a human invention. Jesus said he would build his church, and that no power on earth or in hell can conquer it. We are partners in building God’s Kingdom. It is His vision. The future holds good news for us.
These stats do not scare us.
The state of the church does not scare us. These things illuminate the reality of what we must do. We must reach the next generation. We must make our church about the future. Young people do not represent a threat to the future of the church. Young people represent the greatest hope for the future of the church!
On January 9, 2021 Elevate Life turned 21 years old. We believe that our 21st year represents a relaunch of our church. This year, we are not celebrating the 21st year of doing the same things the same way. We are in the first year of something entirely new that God wants to do in us and through us to reach the next generation.

Do life with people, with purpose.
In John 1, Jesus invited his disciples to “come and follow him.” To think, be and do life like him. THE WAY is people following Jesus together just like the disciples did 2000 years ago.. It is not a program, ministry, a small group or a team. Its all of that made simple.
THE WAY is a 3 trimesters of 12 weeks each with a four week break in between each trimester. The goal of THE WAY is to help us know God, know ourselves and decide the part we want to play in the world.Â
