boldly forward. never alone.
What comes to your mind when you read this statement?
Boldly Forward.
Never Alone.
Sky-diving with a buddy?
That would be more like boldly DOWN and hopefully not alone as in, “I sure hope the parachute opens.”
Pushing the speed limit on the Coquihalla Highway hoping you are alone as in “I sure hope there are no radar guns in the near proximity?”
Eating lobster legs—a bold move—while on a first date (definition: a social or romantic appointment or engagement). Obviously can’t do this alone!
Seriously though, Boldly Forward, Never Alone has layers of meaning in the context of our faith.
This statement reminds us of some larger-than-life individuals we meet in the pages of Scripture:
Nehemiah was bold when he set out to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem.
Peter and John showed up together in Acts 4 and prayed “grant your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness.”
God told Joshua to be strong and courageous as he marched forward into the promised land.
The mandate woven through Scripture tells us to be bold. There is also the promise that we are not alone.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
These words, spoken by God to His people, are still relevant for us today!
Fellowship Pacific is a network of churches and partnering ministries with a clear mission: to leverage our collective strength in order to make a God-honouring impact. This mission has served us well and yet we sense God leading us to lean into this mission with renewed boldness and unity.
Our new tagline is a reflection of our deep commitment to the calling God has placed on His church. We want to be known as a unified group of people with a singular vision that places the gospel at the forefront of everything we do.
Boldly Forward. Never Alone. This is more than just some catchy statement; it is a heart posture that requires total dependence on God.
Jesus declared that the Church is the catalyst for the gospel in every generation. As Fellowship Pacific moves forward, we will boldly present Jesus in our culture as the hope of the world. We will lead our next generation of leaders to embrace the truth that Jesus is worth their life and that because of Him, we are never alone.
In Fellowship Pacific, we will move Boldly Forward, and we will do it together — Never Alone.
