In this vision message for 2026-2027, Bartley Sawatsky draws from Joshua chapters 3 and 4 to outline the next season of growth for Renew Church as the congregation prepares to transition into a permanent facility. Bartley emphasizes that moving into new territory requires prioritizing God's presence through prayer, consecrating lives from sin, and stepping forward in faith before the waters part. Reflecting on past provisions and building spiritual Ebenezers, Bartley highlights key progress in discipling young families, empowering emerging leaders, and reaching out to local neighbours. Ultimately, Bartley challenges the church family to unite in prayer and generosity to secure a lasting home that will serve as a launchpad for future ministry and church planting.
