“2025 is the Year to J.O.Y.—a call to intentionally put Jesus Over Yourself, live in unity within the Body of Christ, and pursue spiritual maturity. With joy as our strength, we will overcome challenges, grow in love, and reflect Christ’s fullness to the world. This is the year to walk boldly in God’s power, build each other up in love, and live with unwavering joy as our anchor, our strength, and our victory.

James 1:2-3 (NLT) says: “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.”

This year, we embrace joy not just as an emotion but as a steadfast choice rooted in Christ. It’s a joy that strengthens us to endure trials, empowers us to persevere in faith, and allows us to reflect the light of Jesus in a world desperate for hope. Together, we will grow in unity, maturity, and power as we walk boldly into the fullness of what God has called us to be.”
