BEYOND 2016
Empower the Next Generation
September 25, 2016 • Brad Bullock
Children and youth today face challenges unlike anything most of us ever faced. And the turmoil can be devastating. Cyberbullying, pornography, eating disorders, self-harm, suicide… Pathway is able to hold up a message of hope to a generation that is desperately looking for better answers. And more than hope for them only. We’re actively investing in young people so they can be empowered to take the hope of Christ to their friends and families. For Pathway’s youngest participants, KidCity is nearing (and sometimes surpassing) capacity. Our upstairs classrooms are designed for 180 children, and right now, we average around 175 kids each weekend. With expansion, instead of turning kids away when a classroom is full, we could reach 1,700 children and youth every week.

Equip People

A weekend encounter is an incredible start, but we know deeper levels of transformation occur when individuals engage in real community. Every week, over 700 individuals attend groups, classes, and counseling sessions in Pathway meeting spaces. But with these opportunities comes a challenge. Our weekday spaces are fully booked, and we are at the point of having to turn groups away. With added classroom space and our growing weekend experience, within three years we could engage over 2,000 people through our tremendous weekday ministries. When we create the space for individuals to become all that Christ desires them to be, we create tremendous ripples into our community and eternity.

Embrace Those Near Us
September 11, 2016 • Brad Bullock
If you think back on your own walk with Christ, it very likely began with a kind word or a compassionate gesture from someone who cared. Maybe it was a family member, a close friend, or someone here at Pathway. Entering into the full life found in Christ most often begins with an embrace from someone else—and that’s what our weekend experiences at Pathway are designed to provide.

What Breaks Our Heart?
September 4, 2016 • Tyler Ward
Last fall, our Pathway family began a two-year BEYOND journey. We asked the Lord to stretch us beyond our abilities and resources, to use us to reach even more people for Christ. And over the past year, your generosity has astounded us. We’ve been able to reach so much further into our community through expanded outside partnerships, new staff, new ministries and new outreach opportunities. But we haven’t completely achieved all of our BEYOND goals quite yet—God still has more for us. He continues to position Pathway to potentially double our impact in our community over the next three years. And a significant part of that impact revolves around our grounds right here on Carroll Road. In the weeks to come, we are excited to share more of the BEYOND vision with you.
