"Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah. He named it Ebenezer, explaining, 'The Lord helped us to this very point.' "

This year's Ebenezer was particularly special--after nearly a decade of planting, we are now ORGANIZED!!! This means we moved from "church plant" to being fully recognized as a "church" by our denomination. However, we have not "arrived"--we will always be on mission with a planting mentality!

We are a "church without walls", but what is "church" anyway?

Is it buildings, budgets, and boards?

Is it programming and services?

A 501c3? A denomination? A personality cult?

A place to go be entertained (or not...)?

Or maybe it's mystery and miracle...

not a what... but a who with a high calling.

Join us as we explore the apostles' letters to the Early Church to discover who the Church was then...and who we are now!
