Found a church home!

In preparing for our new ministry, there have been a lot of decisions that we have had to make. Some big, some small. Some easy, some difficult. One of the major decisions we had to make was concerning the home base for our ministry. When I say home base, I am not meaning specifically a geographical location -- but more important -- a spiritual location. In other words, we needed to find a church that we could line up with doctrinally, philosophically, and practically -- out of which we would launch our ministry of family focused evangelism.

We knew that this was a major decision that needed to be made, and we realized that it probably wouldn't be an easy one. And we were right on both counts! Early on in the process, we knew that it would be important to both find a church where our family could worship, and where the pastor was in favor of our type of ministry. We ended up finding three churches that were able to seriously consider -- which made the decision even more interesting!

After much prayer and consideration, the Lord has directed us to base our ministry out of Falls Baptist Church in Menomonee Falls, WI. We appreciate the emphasis on prayer, revival, holiness, and the family that is evident in the church. We look forward to calling FBC our church home, and having Pastor Wayne Van Gelderen as our pastor.
