What Will the Church Be Known For

The modern dinosaur church of the 20th century was often known better for what it was against than what it was for. One kind of church was against abortion, homosexuals, drinking, etc. Another church was against racism, poverty, sexism, capitalism etc.

No matter the theological bent of churches in this epoch they were known for what they were against.

Can we dream a new kind of church?

A church that is better known for what it is for than what it is against (not dismissing sin or the call to holiness but recognizing our world needs to know the Christ of hope and not condemnation!).

Such a church would be for...

• People finding life in this world and in the world to come.
• Persons discovering their purpose and finding meaning in their life.
• For persons to join together in community to transform the world around them.
• People being freed from addiction, past pain, bad relationships and other maladies.
• Creating environments that creatively present the timeless truth of Christ.
• Allowing people to come and explore and follow Christ without having it all together (or pretending like they do).
