UPDATE What an exciting year it's been as together we've pursued the Rooted Initiatives — where every part of our life and ministries are grounded in Christ for the good of the world. Rooted comes from Isaiah 27:6 “In days to come Jacob shall take root, Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots and fill the whole world with fruit.” What a beautiful picture of God’s people taking root, and bearing fruit — seeing more lives transformed by the power of the gospel.

As our church enters year two of the Rooted journey, we are eager to share updates of what God has been doing. Reflecting on this past year brings hopeful anticipation for even more! As we reflect, let's commit to our own growth in Christ. The Growth Plan is a tool to help you grow as you take ownership. We’re in the front half of our year-long series, The Storyline: Rooted In God’s Story. In this series, covering the entire Bible, we will see how God is creating, redeeming and restoring all things to Himself, through Christ, for His glory and our good. Many have committed to reading through the Old Testament this year — will you consider joining us?

We’ve added two new soccer fields this past year and started Upward Soccer. In addition, Eric Appiah has joined our staff as the new Sports Ministry Director to continue to develop our programs, so we can reach more kids and their families for Christ.

In addition to all that God is doing throughout each weekend and in groups, we’ve begun offering more resources to strengthen our Church through classes, forums, retreats and more. This past year we’ve invested in: Interns and residents, the Get Trained Conference, forums and marriages.

Through it all, our desire is to grow deeper in Christ to reach further for Him — grounded in Christ for the good of the world. The Growth Plan, OT Rooted Reading Plan and Storyline Resources are located online: doorcreekchurch.og/storylineresources

SUMMER INTERNS: NICOLE BAUMAN, NOAH MENNENGA, SARAH ALI, JEREMY GARTLAND

NORTH CAMPUS For the past five years, we've been looking for a new space for North Campus. God has provided ten acres off Hwy. 51 in DeForest that is being offered for free to build a campus that we could one day own. This new location will be a place to make a great impact in the community, allowing us to reach more people for Christ up North.

NORTHSIDE MADISON We've been eager to establish a campus on the Northside of Madison — a Christ-centered church for all people. God has provided a retail space near Boomerangs, our resale store, where we can establish a loving community that serves the Northside.
