When we set out to build our church ten years ago, we had a few important points in mind. Such as, each believer must be rooted in a personally valued relationship with Christ and at the same time be a positive influence on those around them. We believe this is achieved with an attitude to serve in the ministry, but equally important the community. Unity among leadership is of prime importance for a healthy body.
We endeavor to achieve that each believer, regardless of the difference in personality, is unified by belief. It is therefore required that our beliefs be known yet also subject to correction by the scriptures. To know one’s real thoughts relies on authentic friendship and sincere discussions.
Throughout our small group discussions, we aim that each person comprehends the Sermon on the Mount and be challenged to live it. If our leadership believes the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount as valid for today, our hope is that their beliefs become personal and in time visible in their actions. We see this as one of the forefronts of our ministry. This type of lifestyle is dependent upon a life a prayer, a relationship with the Holy Spirit. With that reason in mind, we have created a House of Prayer, that is open weekly, 4 to 10 pm. It is in this place where beliefs are personalized and begin to impact one’s character.
I write this email in order to extend a hand of friendship but also extend the opportunity for a constructive conversation about today’s church. We are constantly in a state of learning and updating our means by which we serve our leaders and community. I would like to hear your thoughts on small group discipleship, the sermon on the mount and/or the concept of a house of prayer. We can do so via email for the time being. If you find this type of relationship constructive and beneficial, please feel free to respond or contact us. Our hope is to learn from your experience and share our insights. We can be a supportive force to one another, especially with so many issues at one of the most decisive points in history.
