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.

Gospel Fluency

Speaking and recognizing the Gospel with ease. Possessing such a “command” of its truths and implications that the Gospel flows naturally from within.

Emotionally Healthy

Recognizing and managing our feelings. Identifying self-destructive patterns (past & present), practicing healthy self-expression and compassion, actively surrendering to God’s love, and persistently pursuing communion with God.

Biblical Literacy & Living

Knowing the Bible cognitively and experientially. Exploring the simple and complex truths of scripture and actively seeking to apply its truths to our lives.

Deep Christian Family

Building and maintaining loving relationships with other members of Pillar Church, readily sharing our lives, extending grace, and practicing the one-anothers generously.

Committed to the Eastside

Uplifting the beauty and potential of our geographic location through prayer and presence. Developing relationships with its residents, supporting local commerce, and seeking the community’s welfare.

Race & Culture Conscious

Being acutely aware of our unique national history and its perpetuating effects on our present reality. Not willing to turn a blind eye to race and culture, but being willing to engage, celebrate and adequately deal with social constructs through the lens of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
