Culture Changing

In a day in which the cultural is constantly shifting and changing from week to week things never seem remain the same for too long... This is where the church needs to be culture changing rather than culture conforming. Rather than constantly reinventing itself to be softer and easier to accept to the church needs to stand on the truth of God's Word without apology. 

Does this mean that the church should avoid change? Absolutely not. Paul tells us in Romans that we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds rather than conforming to the ways of this world (Romans 12:1-2). While the message should never change the means in which that message is delivered should be free to adapt and change as the opportunity presents itself. That is the beauty of God's word that it is valid for each generation without fail. 

Over the next several months we will be slowly rolling out some of these changes to align with the vision that God has given.

Changing and adapting existing ministries, launching new Bible studies and prayer groups, these are only the beginning. I fully believe that God desires our church to once again be a thriving multi-generational body and while there will be growing pains along the way we must act in faith that God will bring this to be reality. My prayer is that as we move through this process that you will continue to seek the presence of God in your prayer lives, that prayer will be your foundation not your fall back! 

Look around you on Sunday mornings and Tuesday nights you can begin seeing this happening, lives are being changed, people are coming to Christ, families are joining the church. God is making good on His word as promised! My hope is that you are as excited to see God's hand working as I am!
