Jenny and I started All Saints Community Church in our home in July of 2007 with just a handful of people. From the very first day, the Vision and Mission of our “community church” has remained the same: to love God with all our heart soul, mind, and strength, and to love others. How that is worked out in daily living is to make disciples of everyone interested. Making disciples is all about getting people, who follow Jesus, to obey everything He commanded us to do. This Sunday we have our annual “Vision Sunday.” Once a year, we share the Vision and Mission of our Community Church—which has remained the same since our inception. The All Saints Elders will share their ministry with us and our Treasurer, Bruce Jackson, will share how God has blessed us during the past 12 months. All in all, a wonderful time of fellowship and worship as we recognize the miracle of God in Crescent Beach.
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
