Our Strategy
-
God has been writing a story in the city of Folsom and the lives of the people there. We want to understand what is going on at the heart level of the people of Folsom, and how God has worked in the city in the past to understand ministry in our context.
-
Our launch team is committed to spending two nights a week dedicated to evangelism, plus weekends. This will help us meet as many people as possible to develop friendships that will lead to gospel conversations.
-
Periodically we will host pop-up services in local, public spaces. This will be a public, low-cost and low-volunteering way for us to gather and invite people to a service before our grand opening.
-
As we learn about the community and meet people, we’ll host a few formal events that are attractive to non-Christians. We want to build trust with them so that there might be more doors for the gospel opened up.

Prayer Support
Because starting a new church is a spiritual endeavor we need God’s help to move forward. So we are asking as many people as possible to join us for prayer for our team and for the people of Folsom!
Financial Support
We are so grateful to those who support us so that we can introduce people in the city of Folsom to Jesus.
