M4J5 is in the Books!
We would like to personally thank everyone who joined our 5th Annual March for Jesus. We are deeply grateful for every volunteer, every church, every leader, and every Kingdom Citizen who showed up, served, prayed, and stood in unity. Your partnership matters more than you know.Yesterday we witnessed what happens when the Body comes into alignment—different churches, different backgrounds, one Spirit, one King. This is a glimpse of Heaven on the earth.Scripture declares: “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1 Where there is unity, there is a command. There is authority. There is a release of God’s power. That power enables us to lift the name of Jesus and change the atmosphere of our community.Let this not stay on the streets we walked. Carry this unity into your homes, your churches, and your everyday lives. We will continue to take ground for the Kingdom.We look forward to gathering again for March for Jesus 2027.With gratitude,Pastor Donald & Pastor Rhea Highsmith
We invite you to join us for the 6th Annual March for Jesus!
Join us as we march from Hubbard Park to the Meriden Green singing praises to God and praying with people along the way, all the while reminding our city that Jesus is Lord! When we arrive at the Meriden Green, we come together for worship, pray for those who need prayer, and pray for our city, state, and nation.
We are marching because Jesus is worthy of praise.
We worship Him publicly for the same reason we worship Him privately – it is because He is worth it! Only Jesus could be worthy of such an offering of praise.
We are marching because we are one.
We are all part of one family of faith. In each city there are many congregations but one church. March for Jesus is an invitation for all believers in our city to come together and affirm that Jesus is Lord. We establish that we are united under One King and His name is Jesus Christ. We acknowledge our love for Him and for one another.
We are marching to get the good news out beyond the church walls.
The church is people - not buildings. Jesus spent His ministry out among the people, in the public places and that is where March for Jesus takes us with the joy hope and good news of Jesus. It keeps us focused outward and reminds us to live out our faith by reaching out to others to demonstrate the love of Jesus. Taking the walls off the church makes us visible, accessible and reminds everyone of God’s great love for all people.
We are marching because we believe that prayer changes things.
Our cities face problems and difficulties. The solutions are not easy but prayer is a central key. The March for Jesus is a prayer event. It is done before God as an earnest plea for His intervention into the affairs of our cities and nation.
