"Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone" Ephesians 2:20
We are so excited about the future of Knox Presbyterian Church. At the beginning of this year, Knox began the Isaiah 6 Project, a discernment process that culminated in a new vision statement and set of core values. It also led staff and session to identify four specific ministries we feel led to pursue and explore in the future. They are:
IMPLEMENT: a program for Missional Small Groups (Feb./March 2024). When small groups are missional, everyone benefits: community needs are met, group members grow spiritually, and new people are introduced to Jesus. Three new groups will commit to meeting weekly for Scripture study, prayer, and fellowship for a set period, with an intention to expand and multiply. They will also incorporate hands-on service as a regular part of their work together.
EXPLORE: programs for Support Groups & an After-School Program (April/May 2024). Knox will assemble teams to explore two new initiatives: Support groups serve the purpose of bolstering those who are struggling with compassion and unconditional acceptance. They bring the power of connection to bear on those who feel isolated or lonely in their particular situation. Such groups might address needs like depression, anxiety, and mental illness; divorce; unemployment or job-seeking. These would be open both to Knox attendees and community members. An After-School Program will provide Knox the opportunity to share God’s love and God’s Word with children. With an increase in dual-income families in our area, many parents are struggling to find adequate care for their children during the after-school hours. Knox will explore offering a faith-based after-school program for children in elementary school. Other opportunities might include a mentoring or academic support ministry; an in-class support program; or other programs to meet the needs of local schools.

DREAM: Third Space (Oct./Nov. 2024). Knox will assemble a team to dream about, and discern the viability of, opening a ‘third space’ in the Naperville community. Our increasingly unchurched population can experience significant barriers to even entering a church building. A “third space” is a business such as a coffee shop, ice cream shop, bar or similar establishment. Opening a third space would allow Knox to engage the local community with the love of Christ by establishing a cash flow positive charitable business that will serve as a place for people to gather and give back.
Ephesians 2.20 tells us that the church ‘is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.’ Our stewardship theme for 2024 is ‘A Firm Foundation,’ because we believe that’s exactly what Knox is built upon. We are the beneficiaries of generations of strong leadership, sacrificial service, and deep faith in Jesus. We believe these four goals will help us build the future of Knox on the strong foundation of the past. But we can’t do it without you.
Your pledge to Knox Presbyterian Church is a tangible expression of thanksgiving for our firm foundation: the gifts of the past, the gifts of the present, and the promising future ahead of us. Your pledge will go to support these new ministry initiatives, along with our existing staff, facilities, and mission partners. Please prayerfully consider your pledge for this year, and if you’ve never pledged before, please consider starting this year. Most importantly, thank you for your partnership in the gospel.
