What Does God Think of the Church - Amos 7:1-9

What does God think of the church? I mean this church in particular?  What is God’s view of this place, this people, this community?

It’s not an easy question to answer, actually.  And it’s not really something that I talk about that much, certainly not in preaching.  I often speak about God’s particular love for each one of us.  I often talk about the way we are each made in the image of God, fearfully and wonderfully made.  But the church as an institution--God’s view of us--is much less clear.

— Alicia Reese

In Need of Comfort and Peace

We are so excited for the upcoming program year. Our theme this year is Created to Create. We know we are made in the image of the Great Creator to be imaginative, inventive, and expressive. We’ll explore that in the coming year as we work to fulfill our vision, which calls on us to be a progressive children’s ministry that supports children of all ages and abilities, guiding their faith development, welcoming their questions and doubts, telling them the stories of the Bible, and teaching them that they have a responsibility to all God’s people.
