Rooted in God's Love?...what?

"Rooted In God's Love" is more than a slogan, more than a motto. It's who and what we desire to become. The leadership at Campbellsville Christian Church know that God's story in us as a congregation and as individuals is not yet fully written. As Jesus said, when asked what is the greatest commandment: "The greatest commandment: 'Love the Lord your God.' The second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself."(Matthew 22:36-40) We desire to become rooted in God's love; loving God and loving others.

A rooted Christian, one who is actively loving God and loving others in all aspects of life, stands firm in their faith in the face of trials and storms of life. Those things still challenge us and are painful, but because we are firmly rooted in God's love, we can endure. We can stand as a symbol of His strength and power. We become a living testimony to God. Below the surface, we are grounded in God's word and continually study it both individually and in community. Above ground, outwardly, we live upright and holy lives so that no one might be able to slander the name of our Creator.

So often, churches (ourselves included) have been guilty of challenging people to grow on their own, but fail to give them the tools they need to accomplish this growth. We are no longer satisfied with the status quo. We seek to provide opportunities through our various programs that you can read about on the church website; opportunities to worship as a congregation, to study together in community in the form of small groups, and to grow in our Wednesday night Deeper Life studies.

However, we want to take it a step further. We have created personal spiritual growth goals for our people. These have been written based on God's word. These goals are based in what we consider to be 6 essential Expressions of Love: Study, Prayer, Stewardship, Discipleship, Community, and Service. We believe every individual, upon the point of entering this earth to their departure, is on a journey. We want to walk alongside you and help you on your journey as you take personal responsibility for your faith. We created these goals based on age groups. 

We are also very intentional about the programs we create. We want everything we do to help you on your journey to become rooted in these six expressions of God's love. Over the next twelve months you will see a strong emphasis on Study and Service. We will still be working on the other four, but for the next year, we will focus on these two. Coming in October we will be journeying together through a church-wide study called 40 Days in the Word. For forty days we will be looking at the Bible and seeking practical ways to study God's word, not only for knowledge, but application. 

We have also created age-specific personal growth goals for every person in the church from Preschool - Senior Adults. These are big-picture ideal. Below, you will find links to image files of these goals. We have printed these goals on convenient bookmarks. If you would like to receive one of these bookmarks, please contact the church.
