Praise Community Fellowship, the church without walls, will gather this Sunday at Immanuel Methodist Church at 800 North main Street Edwardsville. We meet at 10:30am. We invite anyone to attend our gatherings especially those who have many tough questions about God, the bible, Jesus, the church. We gather to try and understand God’s answers to the tough questions about life. What is the purpose of church? Why is there something instead of nothing? Why is there so much suffering in the world? Is there a God? As the pastor of this family of seekers and believers I want to get into the toughest questions people have about Christianity. Everyone I know is seeking something. Maybe it’s peace, or happiness, or wealth, or love, maybe it’s just needing to know what the purpose of life is. Some are seeking healing others escape, it doesn’t matter what ever it is you are seeking you have to choose an answer, a path. At PCF we look at the path that God lays out in the bible. We explore how God answers the tough questions and then it’s still a choice. Does it make sense to you, or do you choose a different path? The underlying question I am always trying to answer in my messages is, “Why should I become a Christian?” To me, this is one of the most important questions in Christianity today and we need to make sure it has an excellent compelling answer. And I try to give a compelling answer every time we meet.
We are a volunteer church. We have no salaries, no mortgage, we use our offerings to help people in the community and support organizations who are doing great things here and in other parts pf the world. Thus our motto, Church without Walls. We meet 2 times per month approximately every other week but to know for sure the schedule subscribe to this blog and you will always know when and where we are meeting. The reason I say where is because there are times in the summer months that we will meet at Glik Park outdoors. That is why the PCF family and others who want to follow us need to be subscribed to this blog. This is how we stay in touch with all activities and schedules. You can subscribe HERE
Our Mission is to help people develop a relationship with Jesus. Why? Because this is what the bible teaches his believers to do and we believe that there is a better life available to those who get to know Jesus and then begin applying His teachings into their lives.
