Strategy

The 6 Elements

We're Leading People Closer to Jesus and Each Other by putting time and energy into building disciples that embody The 6 Elements. We believe that we can best achieve this by playing the long game and taking the time to shape the hearts and minds of our people, who will be the conduits by which God will shape our families and community. We want a disciple of Jesus who covenants with the local body at Pillar Church to be recognizable and impactful in this generation. Thus, we will put our energies toward building, loving, and caring for you, the disciple.
