On Wednesday morning for the last couple years, I’ve been meeting with a group of great guys for conversation about life and God at our local Whataburger. The group’s mainly been led by Brian, our pastor, but with the continued growth, we decided to split the group and host two groups — one in Waxahachie at Chick-Fil-A and the other at our original location in Red Oak.
This week I asked the other two guys (our numbers have dropped since the split :-)) what their church would look like if they removed all their prejudices from the past and started with nothing but their knowledge of Scripture and a blank sheet of paper.
We agreed on several points…
- participation by all
- dialogue vs monologue
- strong community
- a people on mission – sent out into the community
The conversations and additional ideas that were brought up were great. I only wish I had this video from Soul City Church (a church launching in Spring 2010) to show them as well…
7 is greater than 1!
HT to @churchbartender for the video
