Our strategy comes directly from the way Jesus built more and better Kingdom citizens. He intentionally invites people to connect with Him. Those who connect with Him grow together in groups and proceed to serve the world. Then they share Jesus with others and invite them to do the same.

| CONNECT |  Connect with Jesus and other believers | Luke 5:27-28 | Every worship gathering at FNC is designed to connect people with Jesus, the One who can radically transform their life. We also want to connect with other people who are on this faith journey together.

| GROW |  Grow in our likeness and imitation of Jesus | Philippians 1:9-11 | Jesus loves us but He doesn’t want to leave us the way we were and are. He wants us to grow in our understanding of His character and priorities so that we can imitate and reflect Him. We grow by reading our Bible and praying, but we also seek growth in community through classes and groups.

| SERVE |  Serve Jesus | 1 Peter 4:10 | As you continue growing, your faith will become less about you and more about others. Reading your Bible and praying frequently will spur you on to a deeper love of God, which is shown through serving others through and beyond FNC.

| SHARE |  Share the difference Jesus has made in your life | Mark 5:19-20 | Finally, your commitment to the community will blossom into leadership as you share with others and invite them to connect, grow, and serve alongside them. People become better leaders when they become great followers.
