We are the Church! Most of Gods promises are made not to individuals, but to the collective Christian community called the Church, and apply to all who belong to her. In our uniqueness that results from diverse ethnicities, experiences, preferences, and perspectives, we are reconciled in Christs one body by a love that compels us to confront, confess, comfort, counsel, and celebrate each other in JESUSs name so that we might all grow in Christlikeness and reflect Christ to a world that longs to see Him still alive among them. We cannot love God, follow Christ, or fully preach the Gospel if we do not love one another, including our enemies. The primary context for individual spiritual growth and Gospel proclamation is Christian community. Through shared laughter, tears, prayers, experiences, and mutual submission, our relationships will become environments in which mutual dignity is protected, truth is shared, and forgiveness is sought, extended and received, resulting in repentance and reconciliation as we enter into the battle for each others souls against the power of sin and death. As a team united we pray for the same Spirit that fell on Nehemiah to fall on us, we have our mission/vision from God to march forward! Come join us- Liberty Chapel 309 Dewey St. Dowagiac Michigan- God Bless you is our prayer, Pastor Mark and Sister Laura Saylor.
