 Forming an Intentional Christian Community/ORGANIC COMMUNITY-church (Please go to websites:Frank Viola and Organic Church Movement for more information) near Akron Ohio or somewhere in the Florida Panhandle. Looking for intersted believers who are weary of church as we know it today and are looking for something more. Where believers join together, are committed to one another and to reaching out to others. We invision people who live together in houses or attempt to live near to each other as possible. We live, support,fellowship, break bread, help, pray, and give to our Christian family, but we are not focused inward only, but also to our neighbors and to whoever the Lord puts in our paths to minister to. We want a place where all are welcome, all who desire to share- can, where there is some structure, but where there is freedom for all believers to use his or her gift(s) as God has supplied and directs. We want to see God glorified by our lives & commitment to one another. We proclaim Jesus as Lord and we want to listen to His voice and follow Him. Worship, prayer and outreach are the main focus with every believers talents being utilized within the community. No one owns the housing, they will be bought or rented together. Families and singles welcome. Age is not an issue. We know a lot of people are hurting financially and we hope this is one solution for helping people with physical and financial needs. We believe the Bible is the Word of God, we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (John 14:6)and we believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you feel called to something new, please contact us-we would love to hear your story and your vision. God Bless you and we look forward to hearing from you!
