In really simple terms, i hope we can just be the church in our context. the church has lost so much of what it actually is in our culture, we need to put all the adjectives and qualifiers to it...and yes, I use to work in sales.. and understand underpromising and over-delivering, and the power of others' perceptions. I just needed something for a school project i was working on.... plus... i think there's something in me that always hopes to over-promise, and then over-deliver beyond that!... ah.. the overachieving idealist in me!

Aren't they? Two things that may be helpful. A lot of folks are sure they know what a community needs just from anecdotal evidence. And a lot of times these assumptions are very niche.Words that sound humble are pretty important in at least today's US society. Most people in my circle of things might actually bristle a bit at some of the things in your mission statement because, while possibly true, it's sometimes better to let other people say grand things about you than to say them yourself.Keep us posted, dude. I hope good things for you folks. These things are always hard. Aren’t they? Two things that may be helpful. A lot of folks are sure they know what a community needs just from anecdotal evidence.
