Stories ::: The Significance of 317
Many people have asked …
What is the significance of 317?
Why do we see emerge317.church as your social media and domain?
Answer: Bible verses and the Area Code
317 is tied into several key Bible verses plus it’s the area code that we love.
Ephesians 3:17
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
2 Timothy 3:17
so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
James 3:17
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Lastly (but definitely not least), we have a HUGE heart for the 317 Area Code which encompasses greater Indianapolis. When we prayed about where God was leading us to plant Emerge Church, we kept being directed back to this 317 area code.
We can’t wait to see what God is going to do in this 317 area code once we root these verses deep into our everyday lives!
