Sundays Are GROWING

Jul 22, 2021

Dear Sienna Campus,

Houston’s First – Sienna is witnessing the life-changing impact of the Gospel! People are encountering Jesus, making connections, and finding purpose. Coupled with these blessings are healthy tensions requiring us to walk out our faith in a way that could feel uncomfortable. I’d submit to you that when God’s on the move in the midst of His people (which He is), change occurs. When fresh faith accompanies God-inspired change, growth happens. And when growth happens being uncomfortable is a given, simply because growth always precedes change.

God has given our church the privilege of having to manage the reality of current space limitations. Therefore, to create capacity for a potential congregation, we are launching a 3rd worship service and Life Bible Study hour beginning Sun, Aug 8.

Some of that capacity is for people who are not yet in our church, but will soon be. Another aspect of that capacity is for people who are currently in our church, and need space to give their lives away in volunteering. This plan (seen listed below) provides temporary relief for our current spacing challenges, while we continue to pray, strategize, and assess. This tangible outworking of our church’s mission, vision, and strategy will require everyone in our church, including me, to embrace a new perspective about how we can continue to be a relevant biblical community.

In preparing for this 3rd service, we asked the church to SAY YES to giving their lives away in service. This is what each of us truly needs because we know that Life Together > Life Alone.

You have a direct hand in helping us usher in an exciting new chapter in the story God is writing through Houston’s First – Sienna. The staff and deacons of our church greatly appreciate your continued prayers and support as we seek to honor the Lord and properly steward what’s He’s entrusted to us.

In Him,


Campus Pastor Malcolm Marshall
