Community Christian Life Center

Thank you for visiting this site where you can enter your questions, concerns, opinions, and perspectives on the proposal to build a Community Christian Life Center for our church’s outreach. Of course, your comments should be respectful of those with whom you disagree and should be in reasonable tone and language. With that expectation, you may address this proposed outreach plan in any way you wish.

To make sure time and energy are not spent on extraneous subjects or that factual information is correct, staff and members of the CCLC exploratory committee will attempt to provide some guidance for the discussion.

A couple of other ground rules are encouraged.

Let’s not spend time on the subject of whether or not our church should seek to reach out to those without a church home. This is a basic mandate of the gospel and is a mission that applies to all Christian churches.

It is fair to:

Question whether the proposed CCLC is the best or most timely method to reach out to draw more people to God=s love through our church.

Suggest other ways to reach out.

Wonder about the results other church=s have had with similar buildings.

Suggest changes that may make the facility more useful for outreach and mission.

Ask questions for information.

It is hoped that opinions and perspectives from both those who support this proposal and from those who do not will be posted. I hope this forum will be a lively and thought provoking site to help the congregation discuss this proposal. I invite your participation.

Grace and Peace,

Carl Schenck

Senior Pastor
