We believe that visitors to our local congregation are simply "miracles" waiting to be discovered. We do not believe in chance or accidental visits, but rather we believe that because " the steps of the righteous are ordered and established by the Lord," then it is more accurate to see things as Divine "appointments," not chance encounters. We view visitors not merely as visiting, but as our guests.
Because people are important to God, they are important to us; and we will continue striving to love them, befriend them and welcome them into the life flow of this local church. Ministries such as our Barnabas Ministry are designed to bless our first time guests and to make them feel welcome and at ease. We are acutely aware of, and sensitive to the fact that every person may feel a bit apprehensive and tentative in a new environment. Thus, we consistently endeavor to allow ourselves to be vessels of God through which His love may flow to our guests.
Our prayer is that with all undue stress alleviated, our guests can be found in an optimum state of peace, and the Word of the Lord can then truly minister life to them meeting their innermost needs, (I Cor 13:8; Mt 25:40).
