Another question that I receive as Pastor of Resurrection Online is this: Can I become a member of Resurrection if I worship online?

We are creating margin and planning to respond quickly to ideas that we don’t yet have. Speed, agility, flexibility, […]
I have been inspired by Kevin Watson’s series of posts about the Methodist Class Meeting. It was part of what made the Methodist movement powerful. I have hoped to use the following series of posts as a guide for leading class meetings when I am the lead pastor at a church one day. The Methodist […]
