I am often asked….why would you want to start a new church when there are so many in the area, many of them struggling to stay open or seemingly reaching all of the community already. I did my best to explain why, but I think Keller does a much better job at the lengthy details.
My hope is, we will reach out to people that do not currently have a church they call home, for whatever reason. Maybe they had a bad experience with church politics, maybe they were fed up with “religious” people, maybe they were never welcomed into the community.My hope is we at Mountain View Church will be a place that the weary can find rest, the curious can ask, the hopeless can find hope, the lost can find Christ.
Anyway, HERE is the article written by Tim Keller, I hope you can make sense of it.
