Autonomy: What does it mean to Us?
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and
count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
(Luke 14:28)
"The reason why we obtain no more in prayer is because we expect no
more. God usually answers us according to our own hearts."
Richard Alleine
Our FutureFollowing God’s Will
Our Identity
• A church that…– can be trusted in a community leery of trust– gives when many churches are seen as takers– is truly a community church
• Most important– A church that believes in prayer
Timeline to Autonomy

Challenges Ahead

"Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure."
