PRIORITY

Our pastoral staff completed a two-year process today with the Life Development Network. We have been clarifying our reason for being as a church - our mission - our purposes - our values - our focus - our model for doing ministry.

It has been an exciting walk. We have already shared much of this at KFA and will be posting the entire journey in the wall case in the educational wing lobby shortly. Take a look.

In the end, it's been about Jesus and what He is calling us to do. Jesus never said, 'Hey, I have some really nifty ideas here for you guys. Maybe you'll want to borrow a few of them as you formulate your worldview.' Rather, He proclaims the true Kingdom of God and calls for a response - a total response - a response of both belief and action.

That's what we're about.

Saying 'yes' to Christ requires giving up our ideas in favor of His - it requires giving up on our authority and shifting authority to Him, even when we would rather not.

Everyone who makes a church plan - or a personal plan - ultimately comes to that crossroad, being confronted with the uncomfortable challenge of His authority - His plan - His way - His ideas.

We at KFA commit to offering ourselves to Christ fully - our opportunities - our challenges - our desires - our uncertainties. It is our top priority.

And be blessed.
