CUT
DIFFERENT.
Same vine. New growth. God is renewing us so that we can bear more fruit.
One vision.
Two expressions.
“Cut Different” captures attention. “The Year of Renewal” communicates the vision. Together they tell one story of deeper connection with Christ and greater fruitfulness.
Our bold creative expression for storytelling, invitations, cultural connection and young adult engagement.
Our overarching pastoral vision for Council conversations, ministry alignment, teaching and discipleship.
God is the Gardener, Jesus is the true vine, and renewal comes through pruning and abiding in Him.
God is renewing us so that we can bear more fruit.
