Church Family Night

A long time ago, in a land on the other side of the globe…

It was a period of great victory in the resurrection, and there was great persecution from those who opposed the followers of the Way.  Led by a group of disciples who spread the good news to every part of the world that was known to them, the church family had its beginning.

Through covenants by God and failed attempts by man, God sent His Son Jesus to conquer sin and death.  The process of reconciliation continued in a special way through the cross of Christ.  This band of followers took up that mission to make disciples, and we are continuing that mission today.

Church Family night will begin September 24, 2014, and it will continue, in Conifer, the mission begun by those original disciples.  Every Wednesday September 24-November 19 we will enlist the best of our Jedi trainers to train our church for the task of being disciples of Jesus.  The children will learn to arm themselves with the armor of God.  The students will learn to live with courage in the face of adversity.  The adults will learn to manage finances or interpret the Bible.

All of this to equip every member of the Kingdom of God for the task at hand, Reaching Our Community for Christ.  Plan to join with us in this struggle as we fight against the forces of darkness and shine light on the Conifer area.  Sign up for childcare, classes, and groups either on the communication card or the online form and be a part of this band of disciples who race to see God restore the freedom to our hearts as He created them for life in the beginning….

Fellowship of the Unashamed

We are in exciting days at Conifer Community Church.  Many things are coming up that have the potential to reach our community in new ways with the gospel.  Pastor Lance shared on August 10 and 17 about this call to reach our community for Christ.  You can listen to those messages on our website if you missed them.  One responsibility as a disciple of Jesus is to be a witness, through our lives, that is unashamed of the gospel.  May our colors be clear by the power of God's Spirit.

Fellowship of the Unashamed

I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit
Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has
been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow
down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense,
and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight
walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions,
mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or
popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised,
regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by
patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my
way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the
presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the
pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed
up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a
disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop,
preach until all know, and work until He comes.

And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.." (Romans 1:16)
