A Vision for the Future

I am writing from Calvin Crest Camp where the ministers and elders of the Missouri Valley Christian Church are meeting to prayerfully and humble seek God's will for our church in the future. We are looking to a 5-7 year vision as well as a 12-15 year vision. When I came I had hope for some insight into the plans which God has for His body here..... what I received was something completely different.

There are not merely ideas, but a plan has emerged which will radically shape our con [...]

A new site...a new start.

I am still an empty man offering empty ramblings. All are invited to join in.
