Fully Deployed: How to Turn Your 2026 Resolutions into a Kingdom Mission
As the calendar turns to January 2026, the familiar buzz of "New Year’s Resolutions" fills our conversations at the local coffee shops in Gruene and the neighborhood walks in Mission Hills Ranch. We talk about gym memberships, better habits, and fresh starts. But for the follower of Jesus, there is a deeper call than just self-improvement.
At Stonewater Fellowship, we don’t just want you to have a "better" year; we want you to have a mission-led year. Our vision is to see every believer well-equipped and fully deployed on the mission of Jesus.
If you are looking for a church near New Braunfels where your faith can move from the sidelines to the front lines, here is how you can turn your 2026 resolutions into a lasting Kingdom mission.

1. Move from Seeking Advice to Seeking Truth
Most resolutions fail because they are built on temporary motivation. A Kingdom mission is built on eternal truth. This year, prioritize grounding your life in Our Beliefs and Our Values.
Instead of just scrolling through self-help podcasts, start your week with a Latest Sermon that challenges you to apply the Word of God to your daily life in Comal County.
2. Shift from "Me" to "We" through Community
Growth doesn't happen in isolation. Whether you are looking for a church near Sattler or live right down FM306, the heart of our church is found in Small Groups.
The 2026 Mission: Commit to a Life Group. This is where "fully deployed" disciples are made—through authentic relationships, shared meals, and studying the Way of Jesus together.
3. Equip the Next Generation
If your resolutions involve your family, consider how you are spiritually equipping your children. Our Kids on Mission Programs and Youth and Student Ministries aren't just childcare; they are training grounds for the next generation of leaders. Helping your kids find their place in the Kingdom is one of the highest missions a parent can undertake.
4. Find Your Place on the Field
A "deployed" disciple is one who serves. We believe everyone has a unique gift intended to build up the body of Christ.
- For the Men: Connect with our Mens Ministry to find brothers who will push you toward spiritual maturity.
- For the Women: Join our Women Ministry to cultivate deep roots in faith.
- For Everyone: Join one of our Serve Teams. Whether it’s greeting guests or helping with tech, you are a vital part of the mission.
5. Live "Sent" in the New Braunfels Community
Finally, being fully deployed means looking outward. Our Missions and Outreach Ministry is dedicated to engaging people right here in our backyard and around the world. As you visit a church near Gruene this season, ask yourself: Who has God placed in my life that needs to experience His hope?
