Kept by God
". . . to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ . . . " Jude 1:1
In the spring of 2017, we will celebrate 27 years together as a church family. During these almost three decades together, God has continued to astonish us with His grace and faithfulness. We’ve watched and wondered together as He has rescued souls, reconciled relationships, and restored marriages. He’s healed, He’s provided, He’s graced, He’s sustained. He’s made us a family.
He’s held our church through years of wandering without a home. For two decades we met in a storefront space, a school cafeteria, a Tupperware supply warehouse, and rented auditoriums; but wherever we went to meet, we’d arrive to find He was already there. He has protected us through failed property deals (two to be exact). He’s borne us through financial hardship, carried us through crisis, and held us together through seasons of turbulent change.
It’s really this simple: We have been kept by God.
Loved. Protected. Preserved. Sustained. Enabled.
