Our vision is to see the Gospel transform everything – ourselves as individuals, our church, our city, and the world.
By 2020, we desire to see that vision expressed in our church as a body of thousands of people, gathering in locations throughout the Louisville area, and planting churches all over the world that draw many more un-churched people into a relationship with God.
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”
—Revelation 21:5
Growing up in a Christian home, I was introduced to God’s story from a very young age. After praying to receive Christ as my Savior at age 8, I lived my life as a casual young Christian until I was in high school. I then rebelled against God and declared that I wanted to live life on my own terms. Years later, I returned to Christ but fell into the “casualness” again.
I am so thankful for the gospel-centered teaching of Sojourn church. It has challenged me to draw closer to God as I lean upon His grace. I have always understood the goodness of God saving me and promising me eternity in heaven, but it was the ‘here and now’ living where I failed. I was living by legal standards and then comparing myself to others.
I now rejoice in God’s saving grace as I am reminded that He completes perfectly the requirements of the law and His righteousness covers my failing. I hunger for God’s word in a new way. The casual Christian life is no longer my goal. I want to know the Bible and not just know about it. I have been challenged in pastor’s school to dig deeper into God’s word and it is so clear that I will spend the rest of my life mining the depths of His riches and wisdom.
