Today, Rahul talked with Jonathan Webster about Sanctuary Church, Canada and how they are reaching students in Canada. Sanctuary has an incredible story about how they became a college-focused church and why they value being a church that meets on campus.
Jonathan Webster // Lead Pastor of the Sanctuary Church in Oakville
Key Quotes:
- Let the Holy Spirit clear the space he will align the people with the vision.
- We weren’t going to be a threat. We want to be a gospel conversationalist.
- You have to keep going back to the vision. Ask why do we exist? Then, highlight all the favor God has given.
- People get excited when they see young adults begin to lead in the church.
3 ways to earn favor with the campus:
- Pay your bills on time or early
- Ask, “Is there anything we can help with?” or “Is there anything you are struggling with?”
- Leave the space cleaner than you found it
4 things to remind yourself and your church:
- Understand that the harvest is plentiful
- Be bold in your vision
- Be obedient to the call
- Never stop running through the doors that God opens
