    Saints we are seeing an ever growing shift in spiritual focus in our world, one that is off the Church and on to Jerusalem. In the eyes of the world “The Church” is becoming less relevant and Jerusalem is becoming more and more relevant.

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more
