  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi everyone,

I'm Fred. I have returned to the church just 3 years ago after a long absence. I was raised Roman Catholic and stopped attending in my teenage years, both out of lack of time with HS and College and questioning faith. But, years later, I have found a local United Methodist Church that I felt comfortable with. In the years in between (and still do) I have been a volunteer EMT and work in the IT field. After some experiences on calls that made me want to deepen my relationship with God, I was seeking a church to attend. I decided when I was doing a standby at our town's Cross Walk and heard the pastor talking about wanting to get all of the churches in town to work together to improve the town and hopefully bring more people to Jesus. That working together part resonated with me and I decided to attend his church.
