Do you have Wisdom to share? A hand to lend? Or in our area and would like to attend? I pray you will respond to one of those 3 questions. For our growth, to God's Glory
Doxa Community Church in Renton, Washington
A group of us in Washington state were led to plant a church in the city of Renton 2 1/2 years ago. This has brought many trials and tests but has proven to be a huge blessing as the core members as a whole have grown tremendously.
The hardest part is a continual reminder that you're on mission. The life of your Church is by sharing the Gospel. I have found myself getting so caught up in every day life that the mission is lost. I moved here, married the love of my life, and will now serve here until I die or God calls me elsewhere.
Reminders. If not from the Holy Spirit, from your brothers on mission with you. If Christ has called you on this mission those reminders will come, and will draw you back to Him.
Finances. Boy oh boy, you never really appreciate what you have until it's gone. Our church is operating on a tithe that can only pay for rent. If we have a bad tithe month, though the core team is faithful, we wouldn't be able to afford our tiny old Amway office building. 900 sq ft. Though small, a huge blessing as we were meeting in a house for 2 years. This also draws us back to Christ.
Oh how I would love our preaching Pastor to get paid from the Church so he wouldn't have to wear himself thin working 45 hours a week at his other job(providing for his family).
Please pray for our small Church as we seek to see our community come to know and serve Jesus
