Why We Need to Return to God | Pastor Aaron Pennington

Why are we launching Return? In this special video, Pastor Aaron Pennington shares the heart behind Return, Trace Church’s new discipleship initiative. Rooted in Scripture and inspired by the call to return to our first love, this journey is an invitation to place Jesus at the center of our lives, welcome people home to the Father, live with open hands, and embrace the mission of the early church. Return is about more than a season. It’s a church-wide invitation to grow deeper in discipleship, unity, generosity, and gospel mission as we pursue what God has for the future of Trace Church. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or are just beginning your faith journey, we invite you to take this next step with us.
