I N 2 01 7, The Fields Church concluded the two-year Say Yes initiative that made it possible to make a difference in so many lives.
I just want to say “Thank You” for helping us surpass our financial goals and position your church to offer ministry to our families throughout our community and around the world. You said yes! You said yes to us providing all the resources needed to launch Growth Track and help people discover their purpose every single week at The Fields Church. You said yes to group leaders being trained to lead, shepherd, and move people from rows into circles for life-change ministry opportunities. You also said yes to sharing the gospel across the world through our wonderful missionaries and partnering organizations. Now that we have a strong foundation in place of quality ministry structures, it is time to reproduce our impact into new territory. We look forward to following God into the bright future of 2018 and 2019. No doubt, Jesus is using our church to make a difference in the lives of people here at home, in the community, and around the world.

Following Jesus has opened up my eyes to the right way of life. It has given a new meaning to my life. He has made me a better, more forgiving, and understanding person. He has made me a better husband.

Participating on the mission trip to Mexico was truly a life changing experience. While in Mexico, you realize that although they are a third world in terms of material possessions, they are both valuable and rich in faith. God has called us to love our neighbors and that is exactly what you are called to do while meeting the needs of the people of Mexico.

I could not be more happy than to have found The Fields Church. I started attending in August, completed Growth Track in November, became a member in January. I jointed the Tangible small group in January. I will be baptized on February 25th! It is amazing what can happen when you actually allow Jesus to lead your life! I feel like I have a new lease on life, and I don’t want to slow down on my momentum!

I love being an elementary small group leader. Getting to teach children at a young age, getting them actively involved in being disciples rather than just churchgoers, is what I’m all about. I love seeing kids pray out loud for the first time. I look forward to serving every Sunday.
