"We hope you enjoy this heavily photoshopped and highly stressful family photo! "
Pastor Daniel was born in Los Angeles but spent most of his life overseas as a missionary. He moved to Florida when Nickleback was still popular and he met Ashley. At 5'11" Ashley was waiting for a man who was taller than her and when Daniel showed up at 6'2", she thought "That'll do.", and they've been happily married ever since. They helped plant a church in South West Florida and served for many years as Youth Pastors before ultimately transitioning to Lead Pastors. After several years of serving in Florida, they recognized a new season was coming. They fell in love with the city of Sugar Land the moment they visited it for the first time. Sitting in the Toasted Yolk Cafe, they began to dream about what it would be like to start a life-giving church in the city. Walking around that day and watching the families gather in the town square, they knew there was something special about Sugar Land, and it was only going to get better.
The three cheeky little dudes in the picture are Roman, Micaiah, and Titus. Yes, they are done having kids. Titus made sure of that.
To lead people forward into an empowered life in Christ.
Identify the need for progress in the individual and connect them to the momentum that comes from an encounter with Christ, model progress in our own endeavors, and develop those in our path by daily building upon the growth of what has already been invested.
1. JESUS is our message
Jesus said that "all of scripture points to him", so we believe that all we say and do must point to him as well. That's why he is our highest value and our only message. Freedom starts with him, life is found in him and purpose is discovered through him.
2. PROGRESS is our pursuit
God loves you too much to leave you like you are. His desire for you is that you step out of bondage and into freedom and ongoing growth and purpose. Lives that have been transformed by the power of God do not have the luxury of living stationary.
3. TEAM work is our engine
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Our people are our greatest resource. God didn't create us to be alone and we aren't supposed to do ministry alone either.
4. EXCELLENCE is our attitude
The Bible tells us that whatever we set our hands to should be done with excellence as unto the Lord. Every single thing we do as a church is done with our utmost for his glory. Our every endeavor is an act of worship.
5. HONOR is our posture
We show honor in every direction without exception. So many people have a presupposition that they would be judged the moment they walked into the doors of the church, we look forward to throwing a party as soon as we see them coming. To be a place where people from every background and every walk of life will tell their friends "I've never felt so loved".
6. GENEROSITY is our joy
We read in the book of Acts that the first church experienced wild giving. They sold all they had and gave the money to those in need and we see "God added to their number daily". We plan to turn heads with preposterous generosity.
I lost my dad a couple of years ago when I was a teenager. It was hard and I went through a dark season. By God's grace, I made it. Now that I found Momentum, I am excited to be someone who can help lead others forward.
I moved here from Philly a year ago and couldn't find a church like my old one back home. When I met Pastor Daniel we discovered that he was good friends with my old Pastor. I took that as God bridging my past and present. Mind blown!
Things were at a low point for us and we were pretty much done trying. Pastor Daniel and Ashley met with us, encouraged us, prayed with us, and helped us move forward. Things have been so much better since we found Momentum.
I was working at a local business and Pastor Ashley would come in all the time with her kids. There was something about her that stood out and when she told me they were planting a church, I knew my wife and I had to know more.
I grew up in Sugar Land and had a lot of painful memories in this area. When I joined Momentum Church, I just knew that God was going to redeem my story in this city and use me to bring healing to a place that had scared me.
We hold fast to the core doctrines of the historically orthodox faith. We can't know God exhaustively, but we can know Him accurately. We're unified in the big things, we don't make small things into big things, and we seek to clarify which is which through scripture.
The Bible is God’s Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
DEUTERONOMY 4:1-2; PSALM 119:11, 89, 105; ISAIAH 40:8; MATTHEW 22:29; JOHN 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; ROMANS 15:4; 2 TIMOTHY 3:15-17; HEBREWS 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 PETER 1:25; 2 PETER 3:16
God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.
DEUTERONOMY 6:4; ISAIAH 61:1; MATTHEW 28:19; MARK 1:9-11; LUKE 1:35; JOHN 5:21-23; 14:10, 16; 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6; HEBREWS 1:8-10; JAMES 2:19
God is great: He's all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, full of justice, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, holy. It's in Him that we live, move, and exist. God is good: He's our Father. He's loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
EXODUS 3:14; NUMBERS 23:19; LEVITICUS 11:44-45; 19:2; PSALM 11:4-6; MALACHI 3:6; JOHN 3:16; 4:24; 5:26; 14:1; ACTS 17:28; ROMANS 3:3-4
Jesus Christ is completely human and at the same time completely God. He's the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we could have life.
ISAIAH 7:14; 53; MATTHEW 1:18-23; 3:17; 8:29; 14:33; 16:16; 28:5-6; LUKE 22:70; 24:46-47; JOHN 1:1, 14; 10:30; 11:25-27; 17:1-5; ACTS 1:9; 2:22-24; 7:55-56; ROMANS 1:3-4; 3:23-26; 8:1-3; 10:4; 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:19-21; GALATIANS 4:4-5; PHILIPPIANS 2:5-11; COLOSSIANS 1:15; 2:9; 1 TIMOTHY 2:5-6; 3:16
His presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
GENESIS 1:2; PSALM 51:11; 139:7; ISAIAH 61:1-3; JOEL 2:28-32; MARK 1:10; LUKE 1:35; 4:1; 11:13; 12:12; JOHN 15:26; 16:7-14; ACTS 1:8; 2:1-4; 13:2; ROMANS 8:9-11, 14-16, 26-27; 1 CORINTHIANS 3:16; EPHESIANS 1:13-14; 2 PETER 1:21; REVELATION 22:17
The Church is a worldwide body of baptized believers, connected in a local community, unified through faith in Christ. It's committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.
MATTHEW 16:18-19; 18:15-20; ACTS 2:41-47; 5:11-14; 13:1-3; 14:23; 16:5; 20:28; 1 CORINTHIANS 7:17; 9:13-14; 12; EPHESIANS 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 3:10-12; 5:22-32; COLOSSIANS 1:18; 3:15; 1 TIMOTHY 4:14; 1 PETER 5:1-4; REVELATION 21:2-3
Man was created to exist forever. He'll exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
JOHN 3:16, 36; ROMANS 6:23; 1 JOHN 2:25; 5:11-13; REVELATION 20:15
People are made in the image of God and are the supreme object of His creation. People were created to have fellowship with God but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, we cannot attain a right relationship with God through our own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
GENESIS 1:26-30; 2:7, 18-22, 3; PSALM 8:3-6; 32:1-5; 51:5; ISAIAH 6:5; JEREMIAH 17:5; ACTS 17:26-31; ROMANS 1:19-32; 3:10-18, 23; 5:6; 6:6; 7:14-25; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:21-31; 15:19, 21-22; EPHESIANS 2; COLOSSIANS 1:21-22; 3:9-11
We believe marriage is defined in the Bible as a covenant, a sacred bond between one man and one woman, instituted by and publicly entered into before God.
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sin. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
ISAIAH 1:18; 53:5-6; 55:7; MATTHEW 1:21; 27:22-66; 28:1-6; LUKE 1:68-69; 2:28-32; JOHN 1:12; 3:16, 36; 5:24; ACTS 2:21; 4:12; 16:30-31; ROMANS 1:16-18; 3:23-25; 5:8-10; 6; 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-20; GALATIANS 2:20; 3:13; EPHESIANS 2:8-10; PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13; HEBREWS 9:24-28; REVELATION 3:20
Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
A unique time in the presence of God when the elements of bread and grape juice (the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ) are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross.
