humble beginnings
From the moment God called us away from our property on Rosemarie Lane, we knew that this was going to be a calling of faith. AXIS Church chooses to be obedient to God's commands, for blessings follow where obedience is. Since day 1 of AXIS, we have seen incredible transformation within our small home. We tore down walls and built up new ones, ripped out old flooring and installed new flooring, repainted and built a platform for our sanctuary. So much has been done to make AXIS your Church home. AND NOW, IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP FORWARD.
PRAY
THE FIRST PRIORITY OF FULFILLING OUR VISION AT AXIS IS TO SEEK GOD'S WILL ABOVE ALL ELSE. THAT MEANS FAITHFULLY PRAYING FOR AXIS CHURCH AND ITS FUTURE AS YOU MEET WITH GOD IN YOUR ALONE TIME. WE HAVE A WEDNESDAY EVENING PRAYER TIME IN THE SANCTUARY, WHERE OUR PRAYER WARRIORS ARE ACTIVELY PURSUING THE HOLY SPIRIT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT AT PRAYING TO APPROACH THE THRONE OF GOD: JESUS TOOK CARE OF THAT FOR US! WE MUST ONLY KNEEL BEFORE GOD IN AWE OF ALL THAT HE WILL ACCOMPLISH THROUGH HIS CHURCH HERE ON EARTH.
SERVE
THE SECOND PART OF GROWING GOD'S KINGDOM IS TO SERVE GOD AND HIS CHURCH. AXIS CHURCH IS GROWING TO BE A CRUCIAL SOURCE OF SUPPORT FOR THE MIDTOWN STOCKTON AREA AND BEYOND, BUT WE NEED LABORERS. JESUS TELLS HIS DISCIPLES IN MATTHEW 9:37-38 "THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW. ASK THE LORD OF THE HARVEST, THEREFORE, TO SEND OUT WORKERS INTO HIS HARVEST FIELD." THERE ARE MANY MOVING PARTS TO OPERATING A CHURCH, AND WE NEED YOUR HANDS AND FEET TO MAKE JESUS KNOWN!
GIVE
GOD SAID THROUGH HIS PROPHET, "'BRING THE WHOLE TITHE INTO THE STOREHOUSE, THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE. TEST ME IN THIS,' SAYS THE LORD ALMIGHTY, 'AND SEE IF I WILL NOT THROW OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT SO MUCH BLESSING THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH ROOM TO STORE IT.'" (MALACHI 3:10)
GOD WANTS TO BLESS HIS CREATION: HE WANTS TO GIVE FREELY TO OUR FAMILIES, OUR NEIGHBORS, AND OUR COMMUNITY. IN ORDER TO BLESS, GOD MUST EQUIP AND ENABLE HIS CHURCH TO PROVIDE HIS MESSAGE OF ABUNDANT HOPE. WE AT AXIS WANT TO HONOR GOD'S WORD BY CHALLENGING OUR PEOPLE TO "BRING THE WHOLE TITHE INTO THE STOREHOUSE"!
