Our family was terribly frustrated with church, especially generational church as we have found here in Tennessee. What we have now found seems to be what God designed the Church to be, a gathering of believers for the purpose of fellowship, discipleship and evangelism. Please take the time to watch the video linked below to see how church is supposed to function. We had been praying about what God has for us as we have found ourselves churchless once again. What God revealed to us is that church is not the building or the corporation but the people of God, coming together to fulfill the great commission. Church is about community and going out into the community and demonstrating the love of Christ in that community. Church is about loving people as Jesus loved them when He walked the earth. We are the body of Christ and are to do the work of Christ.

Here is a website about a group of people who are living intentionally for Christ in daily life, gathering together, eating together, sharing together and inviting others to come and hear about Jesus. http://overflowcollective.org/#/home
I am excited to see what God is doing in the lives of these brothers and sisters in the Lord and what God is doing in our family. I encourage everyone to rethink what church is supposed to be according to the scriptures versus what the church has become.
