Hello everyone,
So we have just finished our last class in
foundations of church ministry, and it was a blast of a class. David Ernst was
an awesome professor and really made sure that your beliefs were actually
rooted in the scriptures. After thinking about my class, I have come to
appreciate some areas in my home church.
One thing that I appreciate about Wood
Mountain alliance is the sense of community that is accompanied with my church.
Every Sunday, there is a potluck meal so we as a church can gather and become a
close knit community of believers. I think with where our location, if our
church did not have potluck every day, we would not be a close community but
almost like any other church. My church is also quite small averaging 30-40
people a Sunday. With a small congregation, everybody is able to know everyone
fairly well. This makes for an awesome atmosphere and a rooted community.
Another thing I appreciate about my home
church is where we do our services. In our church, we do not have a church
building, so depending on the month and what time of year, we move around to
different locations. For some people this may be a hassle and a major
inconvenience, but personally for me it really helps my views on church. With
the moving around, I get the visual representation that church is not a
building, it’s a gather of believers. The church is not a building; it is
within all of us.
Those are just a few things that my church
back home hold special in my heart. I hope that everyone has something like
this that they can hold special in their heart.
