Dear friend,
We
want you to know that you are welcome at First. Though the church has
been here for more than sixty years, beginning Berean High School, operating
Walnut Creek Christian Academy and sending people around the world to
do ministry, as pastor, I have only been here since Easter, 2000.
In coming to the
church, I was looking for a church filled with PASSION. I wanted to
serve with people who love the Lord their God with all their heart,
soul, and might. I was also looking for people with PERSPECTIVE. The
people here realize that we do not live by bread alone but by the Word
of God. I also wanted to work with people who know our PURPOSE. We have
a desire to be a purpose driven church. Next, I wanted to see a group
who was POSITIVE. We have such a great hope. The glass is not half empty!
Also, I wanted people who were PEACEMAKERS. We have a job to do for
God so we need to be people who have a mind to work together.
And I wanted a church with POTENTIAL. And
certainly, this area with its diversity and mobilization was just the
spot for this. Lastly, we wanted a ministry that understood that PRESENTATION
of truth was important because the language that unites the world is
visual. This is the reason we are making use of media and technology.
We invite you to come, give us a chance and be part of a vibrant and
exciting vision for our area.
