Your Church Promo

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Church logos, business cards, websites, advertisements. I would be interested in knowing what companies, services, etc. your churches use for promotion. From branding to website development and everything in between. Who do you use? I have looked into some very capable companies, but for the kind of website I like we’re talking a couple thousand [...]

Alt. Sunday

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

Today was the first day in five years that Grace has not met on the Lord’s Day. As Grace and FBC have come to an end to begin Redeemer there is no gathering at the old FBC campus this morning. We decided to do this to create a break between what we were doing and [...]

New Confessions

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

The Second London and Westminster confessions, the Heidelberg Catechism, the catholic creeds and many other historic church documents are immeasurably valuable for the [...]

Altered Abstract w/ Scripture

Monday, May 21st, 2007

The Abstract of Principles is a solid, simple confession written in 1858. It was the first confession drawn up by Southern Baptists for the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and is in use by many churches today. I like it, but the language is a bit archaic and there are a few things I would say [...]

The Start of Something New

Monday, May 21st, 2007

The Really Short Story.
As of yesterday the church I planted with some friends seven years ago no longer exists. The 50+ year old church that gave birth to us no longer exists. A new church has been started with both congregations: Redeemer Fellowship. This was not a merger, but could be considered a restart/church plant [...]
