The following interview is with a woman who just recently accepted Christ as Lord in her life and attends SVCC. Sadly, I think that I was the second or third person to do an interview with her...I probably should have asked different questions!
It does seem that she is a "baby" in Christ, and although her attitude and posture towards many things might be offensive toward some (you would not be able to tell from her responses) it is refreshing to even be able to find a new believer in the church that I attend! I can think of churches that I have attended that I would not be able to find a new believer! I would be lucky to find a Christian that had only know the Lord for less than 5 years...and it would probably be a student from youth!
The more I began to think about this the more I began to wonder if the church is fulfilling its mission? And if it is not, how can it begin to do so? Especially when considering some of the older traditional churches...maybe they do not want to reach a younger generation because they would have to adapt different ways of thinking and doing music, or different style of preaching, but is there a way for them to reach their own generation? Statistically, that would be a difficult challenge but I would love to investigate and hear stories of how an older church that is more traditional would go about reaching people their own age with the Gospel of Jesus Christ...and if this even happens!
Tell me about your journey to faith in Christ.
I am still a baby in Christ and I am getting to know Him more and more each day.
