Becoming Christian Community on the Go!

Posted on May 31, 2013May 25, 2015 by Michael Rose
I used to believe that before we could do out reach we had to have our own house (read church) in order. And while this is partially true, the reality remains we will never see our church in perfect order.  This being the case, we will never leave the four walls of our building to reach out…
