How would you describe our church in 3 words or less?


Last week I read a great blog post by Rich Birch at UnSeminary about how churches use social media like Facebook.  Rich asked us to imagine a friend that just constantly talks about themselves and never stops to engage in a dialogue. That’s what a lot of churches act like on their Facebook wall because all they ever do is advertise the next upcoming event or service that’s going on.  Ouch! 

Rich offered a series of questions to post on Facebook to encourage dialogue and engagement.  I tried one on Saturday and loved the responses.

How would you describe our church in 3 words or less?
  • Open to all! 
  • "Totally spiritually connected" :-)
  •  No ties required!

  • Changed Lives - It is really striking to have someone you think really has it together share their "before" story. Since I've already exceeded the word limit, I'll add that I love seeing adults in the baptistry. Baptizing kids is good, but baptizing an adult means a life has gotten back on course.

 What three words would you add?
