Jonah: Pursued by Grace is a four-week expository series launching Wellspring’s 2026 focus on evangelism and community outreach. More than a story about a reluctant prophet and a big fish, Jonah reveals the heart of a God who relentlessly pursues the lost—and His people. Through storms, second chances, and hard conversations, God exposes Jonah’s heart and invites him into His mission of mercy.

In this series, we’ll walk verse-by-verse through the book of Jonah to uncover why the Great Commission is urgent, why obedience matters, and how God uses ordinary believers to awaken entire communities. We’ll learn to see our neighbors as God sees them, confront the fears and prejudices that keep us from sharing our faith, and rediscover the incredible privilege of being sent by a God whose grace never gives up.

Join us as we begin the new year with a clear call: receive God’s pursuing grace—and extend it to a world that desperately needs Him.
