New Church Grand Opening

The best things about my church--Foothills Community Church, Seneca, SC--

1. Messages based on exactly what the Bible says...no stories that are unrelated, no tangents, a plan in place with scripture references, not watered down, not based on my pastor's pet peeves (they're not all about drinking, drugs, having premarital sex, and how bad the world is)

2. We are open to EVERYONE no matter what they look like, where they've been or what decisions they have made or are still making! People can come as they are and it doesn't matter what they're wearing...they can eat doughnuts there too!

3. Church is fun. I pray my kids will ALWAYS LOVE coming to church, love God's word, and think that loving God is an adventure, exciting and new--which it is!

4. Worship music

5. Tons of young people to love on, be loved by, be encouraged with and to do life together with...

6. Small groups in homes where real relationship building takes place

7. You can always invite lost people and know that the service is FOR THEM and KNOW that they'll be welcomed.

8. LOST PEOPLE are coming to Christ by the hundreds--that is really number 1 I suppose..but it's late.

9. A playland and a kid's program that teaches my son each week--he comes home and can tell me EXACTLY what they talked about and what they learned. Just tonight he told us about Jesus staying at the temple to ask questions and learn and such and his parents were looking for him!

10. We keep the main thing the main thing...we don't fight over petty stuff. NO committees to serve on--ONLY teams of people working together with one goal.

COME VISIT US!
