Being the Church

Lately, Jared and I have felt like God is telling us to just be the church.  We believe He is giving us a vision for what that looks like in our own lives.  For a long time, while living on campus at seminary in St. Louis, we yearned to live in the “real world” and be more able to open our home and lives up to people searching for more.  We long to see God’s Story change lives and we have begun to see that happening here in Wilmington.  God’s Story sets drug addicts free and heals broken marriages.

We are seeing that ministry isn’t about Jared being one of the “lucky” ones who finds a job in a church.  It’s about living our lives in a way that allows people in.  That is what we are trying to do and hoping to inspire others around us to do the same.  Take a look at the website Jared recently put together and pray for us as you think of it.
