called Creative Minority. The series will focus on six aspects
of what it looks like be a Christian, creative minority that
embodies a radical dissimilarity from the world and that
holds out a hopeful promise to the world. Ultimately, this
is what we want to see: a group of young people living in
response to Christ, who are known for living differently and
for the message that they carry.
In many ways, we feel like we’re just getting started, but
we’re so encouraged by how people are collectively convicted
about seeing a community like this form. We would
love for you to come join us on a Thursday Night at 7:30 pm,
as we continue to journey towards seeing a healthy community
that both serves the church body and points the
world to see Jesus as Saviour and Lord.
The fall semester of ministry was unlike any other that I’ve
been a part of. God has been humbling, saving, healing, restoring,
encouraging and empowering those that have been
gathering on Thursday nights!
Our community is growing in depth, in commitment to the
local church and in vision for what God wants to do in our city.
Groups of guys and girls are gathering in coffee shops to read,
talk and pray for each other. A few young adults who have
come to Christ recently will be getting baptized on Sunday,
January 21st and we’re excited to celebrate together at both
the 9 and 11 am services on that day. Four new Alphas are running
in homes and on campuses January through April, and
our goal is to see 25 unchurched people experience Alpha.
Our weekly gathering has moved to the newly renovated
conference hall and we launch a new series January 18th
