"I am about to do a new thing...do you not perceive it? -Isaiah 43:19
Things are a lot different than they were in the 1950's; you've likely seen the statistics. Not only are churches closing across the United States, 1 in 5 Americans claim to be a "none" - those who don't identify with any religion at all - and that number is rising every year.
While the loudest voices may greet this news with fear, the still-small voice of God is whispering new things in our ears- can you hear it? Instead of worrying about declining this and rising that, can we be bold enough to live into the new work to which God is calling the Church? I think we can. In truth, we must. As long as despair, pain, aimlessness, greed, and hopelessness continue to tear us down and apart, the Church must endure to share our alternative, and inclusive message of love and hope.
I hope this website will help you learn a bit more about me, and the ministry to which I believe we are all called.
