Motion Is - Week 1

Welcome to the Motion Church Podcast — and welcome to a brand-new year. We’re kicking off 2026 with a powerful new series called “Motion Is.” As Pastor Chris shared, “We’re kicking off a new series this week called Motion is.” But this series isn’t just a theme — it’s a reminder of who we are, where we’ve been, and where God is taking us. This church didn’t start by accident. “So when we started the church… 2011, we started a church.” And like many God-breathed beginnings, it started with faith, vision, and a lot of learning along the way. “One of the things that we learned along the way is that you have to have like a mission, vision, values… before you ever start a church.” This series exists to bring us back to that foundation — to the heart behind Motion Church. Because Motion has never been about a building. It’s always been about people. It’s always been about movement. Pastor said it best when he reflected, “Have you ever been at a point in your life where you thought you knew everything… in hindsight, you knew nothing?” That humility — that willingness to grow — is what has shaped Motion from the beginning. This church was built on stepping forward when it would’ve been easier to stand still. Built on learning, adjusting, and trusting God even when the path wasn’t clear. “So of course, we did.” And now, more than a decade later, Motion Church is still doing what it’s always done — moving forward with purpose. Motion Is, is a series about our mission, our vision, and our values. It’s about remembering why we exist and recommitting to who God has called us to be. So whether you’ve been here since 2011 or you just walked through our doors, this series is for you. Welcome to Motion Church. Welcome to a new year. Welcome to Motion Is.
