Church Plant

AgapePoint Church


I am writing again because of a new excitement about life and what it holds, even my Wife and Children have noticed a new excitement in me.
In January of this year I and my Wife Beebe began attending Sunday services at a new church "plant" in our community. It started with five people, which were the Pastor and his family, we now have about thirty people on a regular basis. Our group includes the homeless and jobless as well as professional people from many faith groups. The goal is to include any and all, the un-churched, the "church hurt" kind and any who have a desire to reach people at their point of need.
Our Pastor is the director of our local Homeless Shelter, he spends his days helping people find housing, jobs and other resources. He helps to feed and clothe the needy and involves all of us in doing so.
Our fellowship has NO paid staff (not even the pastor). The church has just a few dollars each week in it's account, we meet in donated space in a children's activity center (jumpy houses, video games etc.). We believe the real Church is the one without walls, that is you and I going out not when we come into a building.
I now conduct a weekly study called Chain Breakers it started out as a addiction recovery program, then became a program for ALL of us with life controlling problems and we are now calling it a life application class. We deal with issues with which all of us experience, Un-forgiveness, fear of failure, anger, guilt and any other kind of problem we all face. This ministry was born out of my having had a cocaine addiction over twenty years ago and my life since that time.
I am writing this so all of you will know where I am coming from, you will see posts of my weekly class and other musings from the heart.
