Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on your children lost in sin and unaware of the good news of Christ. Speak to dry bones that they may live. Pour out your Spirit and call them to yourself
in Jesus’ name, Amen.

What Does a Church Look Like?
17
Oct '18
Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What does a church look like?” It might seem like a silly question at first, but how we answer reveals a lot about our view of the church. For some the church looks like a building with a steeple or bell tower that is dedicated to the worship of God. For others the church looks like fully developed community organization with programs that meet specific needs. Still for others the church looks like a modern theater with a coffee shop, an awesome worship band, an excellent communicator on stage and great programs for their kids. What all these responses have in common is that they primarily are concerned with the form of a church.
But what if church wasn’t defined by its form but rather its function? This is the fourth article in a five-part series on increasing effectiveness in developing disciples by making small shifts in our behavior, based on Daniel Im’s book No Silver Bullets: Five Small Shifts That Will Transform Your Ministry.

We switched providers to Sharefaith recently, and are looking forward to marshaling all the new capabilities in service of God’s kingdom. Also, we fired our old webmaster because he was charging us too much. The new guy is much cheaper.
