Before the fruit, comes the roots. In a world torn by selfish ambition, jealousy and rage - there is an ancient truth that still holds: What you plant, is what you will grow. When the world says, “put yourself first” - love whispers “lay down your life.” As envy takes root in our hearts, we realize joy can’t grow where comparison thrives. Quarrels rage. Chaos stirs. But peace isn’t stumbled upon - it’s cultivated, one act of grace at a time. As our calendars consume our lives, God says, “Wait” - because some fruit only grows in the stillness. And as our roots grow deeper into God’s grace, we learn that gentleness isn’t weakness - it’s strength under control. When all hope feels lost and the silence of God is loud - will you stay rooted? Or will you reach for something else? This isn’t behavior modification. It’s transformation. Rooted deep in the Spirit.
UNTIL ZERO PEOPLE REMAIN
UNCHANGED BY JESUS
The Story Church is part of a network made up of four churches that share the vision for zeros in our community. The Zero Collective is a family of churches fully sold out to the mission of seeing ZERO people in the Greater Grand Rapids area living unchanged by Jesus. This “only God” vision is what drives us and keeps us up at night. It shapes how we do church. It’s why we put disciple-making over everything else. It’s what inspires us to engage our city in new and creative ways. Together, we can be more than just a network of churches. We can be movement of multiplication and a catalyst for Kingdom expansion.
These 5 ZEROS are what guides everything we do:
