I think this is the question I get the most when people find out that I want to start a new church. “What is it going to look like…how are you going to do things?” I’m never quite sure how to answer this question. Sure, I have some things that I value and a lot of ideas about how I would like to lead and approach things, but ultimately what I want the Church to look like is Jesus. I know that sounds like a cop-out or over spiritual or whatever you might call it, but I really believe that the “vision” for the church should be Jesus. What if our primary goal as community of faith was to look deeply at the way Jesus lived and called us to live, and then actually went about trying to do it? I am really excited about the future and seeing how things will come together. Maybe we can give folks even the slighest glimpse of what Jesus is like.
