Change is needed
Something needs to change in our world, in our country, in our politics, in our communities, in our families, and in ME. But what is going to bring about that change? It’s not more education. It’s not new laws or new leaders. It’s not a social program, policy, organization, or therapy. Only Jesus and His Power is able to bring about the necessary changes in the world and in me. The Multiply Method is a defined approach to experiencing the life-changing power of Jesus first in our own lives and then multiplying out into the world.
Filosofía del Ministerio
Filosofía de la Iglesia
-
- Predicación del Evangelio. Estamos comprometidos a predicar el evangelio en cada sermón: el pecado. Salvación. Servicio. Dedicado al enfoque y repetición del mensaje.
-
- Discipulado. Inicio lento, crecimiento exponencial. No se trata de colillas en los asientos y dólares en los platos. Modelo 1 a 1 en lugar de 1 a muchos. Queríamos una nueva forma de definir el “éxito” de un ministerio. Demasiadas personas van a la iglesia toda su vida y no pueden articular el evangelio, el mensaje central de la Biblia.
-
- Desarrollo de liderazgo. El liderazgo es necesario para el crecimiento y se enseña en las Escrituras. Scott desarrolló 222LS para capacitar a nuevos pastores/predicadores/maestros. No se trata de que una persona capacitada atraiga a una multitud, sino de involucrar a más personas en el ministerio en todos los niveles. Esto se decidió cuando pasamos al nivel de campus múltiples. Scott decidió no participar por dos razones principales: 1. Elimina un trabajo esencial del pastor de pastorear el rebaño. 2. Se supone que nadie puede predicar tan bien como el predicador “estrella”.
-
- Sistemas. Manera organizada de abordar el ministerio para maximizar los recursos. También estamos comprometidos a desarrollar activos ministeriales que durarán mucho tiempo (Bible Step, PROS y 222Disciple).
Filosofía Escolar
-
- La demanda de educación privada se está disparando. De Santis acaba de promulgar una ley que otorga a las familias enormes subvenciones de entre $7500 y 11.000 al año para seleccionar escuelas privadas. Tenemos listas de espera de hasta 80 familias. Dios no se enseña como prioridad en las escuelas públicas.
-
- La escuela es el brazo de extensión de la iglesia. La escuela es un ministerio. Hemos visto muchos combos de iglesias escolares dividirse y convertirse en entidades casi completamente diferentes. Creemos que la mayor necesidad en Florida es una educación cristiana de calidad y eso es lo que buscamos brindar. Hacemos mucho para la extensión como el Festival de Otoño, EBV, programas y estudios entre semana, grupos de evangelización, pero la escuela es nuestra principal estrategia de extensión.
-
- La calidad de la educación que brindamos debe ser la MEJOR. Todo se ha reinvertido en la escuela. Profesores, equipamiento, instalaciones. Hemos tenido márgenes muy reducidos durante la última década.

We have been averaging a weekly Sunday morning attendance of 130 people and have welcomed 20 new disciples. Our Sunlight Kids program has expanded from just a nursery to include a 4’s and 5’s group, as well as an elementary class. We have seen God move people to serve in various areas, and we are deeply grateful for the many gifted volunteers who generously offer their time each week. We have also been cultivating a close relationship with the Sunlight Christian Academy’s Upper School, recognizing them as significant ministry partners. Please continue to pray that God will use PGA to make disciples and expand His Kingdom in Port St. Lucie.

Ministry Point: St Lucie Jail
- We are actively engaged in ministry outreach at the St. Lucie County Jail in Fort Pierce to host evening chapel services every other Wednesday. On average, we welcome between 15 and 30 men to these services. With the dedicated support of our incredible volunteers, we share the gospel, and have witnessed the profound impact it has on these men. Many find themselves in a place of deep need, where God’s presence can work in extraordinary ways. These Chapel services are a time of worship, prayer, and the reading of God’s Word, but they are just the beginning. Our goal is to provide these men with a connection that fosters continued growth in discipleship, extending beyond the walls of the jail. As this ministry expands, we envision one-to-one discipleship as the next step in helping these men not only to know Jesus, but to also make Him known and live a Jesus life!
