The mission of Foothills Church is to glorify God, make disciples and reflect God’s love. I sat down with Jacobe Croff to get his perspective on this mission.
"I’ve been going to Foothills pretty much since I was born."
Jacobe might be considered a “lifer” as it relates to the church. “I’ve been going to Foothills pretty much since I was born, besides a couple of years in Montana,” Jacobe said. “I went to children’s church and then attended youth group with pretty much the same group of kids, which was kind of cool.”
You might not see Jacobe on a regular basis on Sunday morning, but you definitely hear his drumming skills, as he plays regularly in the worship band, tucked behind the drum set. Volunteering his time to serve was instilled in Jacobe as a child. “Growing up under the influence of my family and watching other adults in the church volunteer their time was a big reason I serve.”
"All creation points back to Christ."
Jacobe loves the outdoors. His passions include hiking, biking, and rock climbing. His love of the outdoors is how Jacobe identifies opportunities to glorify God. “I did an internship this last summer with Youth Dynamic Adventures,” he said. “It was a lot of taking students on rafting, rock climbing and ropes course trips and being able to use those experiences to share the Gospel and talk about life and how all creation points back to Christ.”
As it relates to reflecting God’s love, Jacobe talked about his commitment to stay in regular contact with his non-Christian friends. “There is this one friend in particular that I am in contact with a lot,” Jacobe shared. “I want to keep a conversation open with him about who Christ is and what I believe. I want to reflect God’s love to him so that maybe some day he would see it.”
As a Foothills family member, Jacobe is definitely making a big impact to advance the mission of the church.
