4 Things

The beginning of every school year gets me pumped to meet new people and, more importantly, see what fresh things God wants to do in a new season for our city and our church. Here's the top 4 things our leadership is absolutely stoked about in the coming year (in no particular order):

1. Worship

There is absolutely nothing like coming together as God's church and proclaiming His name. This is where inspiration, healing and life change happen because, as Psalm 22:3 states, "God resides in the praises of His people."

Where God is, crazy, incredible things happen, and we don't want to settle for anything less than His presence.

2. Including more young adults

Last year, the 120 was formed when the high school and young adult groups came together to form one ministry. This year, something similar is happening in that we are preparing to provide child care some time this fall so that more young families and single parents can come and worship. This will meet a great need in our church!

3. Obsession

We have never been believers in changing for the sake of change. We're not looking to provide an emotional and social experience that can't sustain us. Instead, at the 120 we are passionate about being a people that are obsessed with Jesus and His finished work. Emotions, great music and a fun atmosphere cannot move people — only Jesus can do that, and hearts that are obsessed with Him will see a culture be saved.

4. Salvation

Since the 120 was formed we have become a ministry that wants to see young people come to know Jesus (what a thought!), and this year will be no different. We will not hold a single service without giving people the opportunity to come to know God personally, while experiencing "real" life for the first time.

This is our goal and our passion — to fall in love with Jesus and see other people do the same. Nothing else could fuel our fire more!


Thank you for being a part of the 120. Whether you're a part of the food team, leading worship, a part of a small group or just attending, you are a vital part of this ministry, and we couldn't be more excited to do ministry with you.
