We are on the front end of what we thought was the back end of finding a new pastor. He came, he preached he interviewed, he accepted, and then someone or a few people got in his face about something having to do with the music from first service to second and so he put in his resignation one week after he was hired..
Well, vine, the environment could be Peter's fishing boat, your living room or dining room table, my place of business, anywhere where relationships can be developed. We do have a church building where we gather, but that is only a place to fellowship and learn about how we can bring the church (not religion - I think most people who attend there are anti-religious) OUTSIDE of the building. The main point of the environment is LOVE - we want people to feel loved and welcome, no matter what their state. There is a very strategic reason why the word belong comes first in that statement.
