St. James

The Next Movement is a Spirit-led effort to help the Church return to its foundation. The Church was birthed on the day of Pentecost. When we examine the early Church, we learn that they did some essential things, and as a result, God continued to bless them. The essentials of the Church, according to Acts 2, were devotion to the Apostles’ teachings, praying together, worshipping together, fellowshipping together, and meeting the needs of the community. It all happened in a multi-cultural and multi-generational setting. The purpose of establishing The Next Movement teams is to emulate the original Apostolic Church, which means individual spiritual growth and numerical congregational growth to build a multi-generational congregation. The Next Movement will help us connect people with God through exciting worship, compassionate outreach, and authentic faith development.

The Apostle’s Teaching (Authentic Faith Development): We will provide learning opportunities for every generation. (Sunday School, Bible Study, Children, Student and Young Adult Ministries) 

Praying Together (Authentic Faith Development): The prayer team’s job is to create prayer opportunities for the entire congregation to pray about/for. (Prayer Team) 

Worshiping Together (Exciting Worship): We will provide worship experiences that touch the hearts and minds of those who are part of the Alpha Generation to Baby Boomers.

Fellowship (Authentic Faith Development): We will provide opportunities for the congregation and guests to eat, pray, and do life together.  It is important for believers to come together because it fosters growth. “Iron sharpens iron.” (Fellowship Team, Children, Student, and Young Adult Ministries, Generation 2 Generation).

Needs of the Community (Compassionate Outreach): To truly follow Jesus, we as believers, must address the social ills of our society. Social justice is a vital part of discipleship (Disciples of Change).
