1 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

2 I DREAM OF A CHURCH... I dream of a church with such a significant presence in the state of Colorado that it is impossible to ignore. A church that makes an impact so significantly and regularly that city and state government leaders would seek our partnership and even biblical wisdom. I dream of a church family that spreads a message of hope from the Front Range of Colorado throughout the entire state. I dream of one house with many rooms, outworking a unified vision. I see a church apostolic in calling, and visionary in nature, committed to boldly impacting multitudes for Christ in cities big and small throughout our state with the greatest of all causes the Cause of our Lord Jesus Christ. I dream of a church that champions the cause of local existing churches and aggressively plants life-giving new ones, encouraging them to be all that God has called them to be. A church that refuses to be content with the triumphs of the past, but is constantly looking towards the future filled with a vision that inspires and influences many. Positioned in the heart of cultural centers of each Colorado community, I see buildings that struggle to contain the increase of all that God is doing. I dream of a church that is big enough to dream on a global scale, yet personal enough for every ONE to find his/her place. I see a church that prophetically calls out YOU ARE LOVED to every man, woman and child that walks through the doors. I dream of a church that captures the hearts and imagination of the very young. This church invites and empowers those of every age group to take ownership of the mission and challenge the status quo. It is a church that thrives from the support of the elder church community, honoring their faithfulness, wisdom, and the legacy they have built and continue to build. The church that I see in my dream is a worshiping church whose praises reflect such a passion for Christ that others sense His magnificence and power - a distinct sound that emanates from a healthy church, contagious in spirit creating music that resounds in every town and city in our state. I dream of a church with a world-class school of ministry that raises, equips, and empowers generations of young, anointed leaders from across the globe - graduates who serve God in all walks of life, released to salt the earth with dynamic ministries and churches throughout the continents of the world. I dream of a church graced with layers of once-in-a-generation type leaders who are naturally gifted, spiritually potent and genuinely humble - leaders who will pay the price and count the cost of impacting cities and nations with great, God-glorifying churches. I dream of a church that serves our communities, ends homelessness, prevents suicide, restores broken families, adopts the orphan, protects the vulnerable and challenges the affluent to live for a cause bigger than themselves. I dream of a church whose leadership is unified in their commitment to the authenticity, credibility and quality of its heart - leaders who dare to be themselves, yet live secure in the knowledge that what they are part of is bigger than the part they play. I dream of a church that loves God, loves people and loves life: youthful in spirit, generous at heart, faith-filled in confession, and loving in nature. Rez could very well be that church. PASTOR JONATHAN WIGGINS
