That has been the calling of Ransom Church since the very beginning. It was the vision God placed on my heart and Steph’s heart back in 2008, and with everything we’ve experienced in the last 17 years, it’s something we have never wavered on. This is why we exist. We exist to set captives free to be who God wants us to be.

But there is one place in the last 17 years where I feel we have not truly set people free. As I look back over the last 17 years, if there is something I wish I could change, it would be in our failure to set the people of Ransom Church free to share their faith free of fear. I wish we would have done a better job of equipping each and every person that calls Ransom Church their home church to take spiritual responsibility and ownership of their faith and of their circles of influence.

This is something we are committed to changing. God has given us a vision to see 5000 people set free in Jesus. 5000 people who come to know Christ as their savior. We are committed to helping our congregation step into this vision. We are committed to helping each of you grow in faith, generosity, and in your capacity to share your faith and be gospel carriers in your spaces and places. And we believe that together, we will get to watch God do a miracle.

In this report, there is so much to celebrate. But greatest of all, we celebrate that God is on the move, we are listening and leaning in. Will you join us on mission? Let’s move forward with faith, vision and sense of expectation that God is about to do the miraculous in our midst.
