AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

2026 CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW

Over the course of this year, we're going to return again and again to four core truths. You'll hear them woven into sermons, studies, conversations, and moments when God gently reminds us of who we are and where we're headed. These truths aren't slogans-they're anchors. And the more we lean into them, the more they reshape how we live.]

1. Heaven is our home. There is a longing in your heart that nothing on earth can fully satisfy-and that longing has a name. Heaven is our true home. This world, for all its beauty and brilliance, is not the destination; it's the lobby. And here is the best part. God's promise was never simply to remove us from earth and take us to Heaven someday. His greater goal is this: He is bringing Heaven to us. That ache you feel for something more isn't discontentment-it's homesickness.
2. Heaven starts here. Heaven isn't only a future hope we cling to-it's a present reality that began the moment we surrendered our lives to Jesus. Heaven is not just where we're going; it's what God is growing in us right now. When Christ took residence in us, Heaven broke into the present. Eternal life doesn't start later. It has already begun.
3. Heaven lives in Us. Between now and eternity, the Holy Spirit is doing more than preparing us for Heaven someday-He is importing Heaven's atmosphere into our lives today. He steps into our chaos, our broken patterns, our inner disorder, and begins a quiet, powerful work of transformation. Peace where there was anxiety. Joy where there was heaviness. Love where there was fear. Heaven doesn't just await us-it reshapes us.
4. Heaven flows through us. As God transforms us, our lives become heavenly hotspots-living intersections between Heaven and earth. We don't carry Heaven in theory; we carry it into real places. Into our homes. Our marriages. Our churches. Our workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and communities. Wherever God's people go, Heaven shows up-because God's presence goes with us.
