The difference is I believe these questions
have answers. But the difficulty with these questions is that the
answers are usually given glibly, as if the answers are obvious to
even the most casual observer.
All I can say is that I believe God has a unique way of reaching
each person. No matter where life has taken them, what their situation
may be, or what anybody else thinks of them, God can and will meet
them where they are in a way that is meaningful to them.
The purpose of our church, then, is
• to encourage people to allow God to reach
them,
• to guide them as their connection with God grows and strengthens,
• to help them understand the way of life Jesus wants us all
to live,
• to be awe-struck as their relationship with God becomes so
close that God becomes their Father,
• and to celebrate with them throughout their transformation
of becoming a new person.
Although God is always our focus, Jesus is the one to whom we are
apprenticed. The more we become like Jesus, the closer we are drawn
to God.
I invite you to contact me if you wish to discuss what you have
read or to learn more about who we are.
