Church Launch Video #1

Many of you know we have taken up the call to begin a brand-new church plant in the Riverside/Moreno Valley area, called The Church Family Fellowship (www.thechurch.site).  Several of you have asked how you might assist us, and of course your prayers continue to be a great source of blessing and strength to us, as are your financial contributions.  However, I am writing this to share another amazing way that you could greatly assist us and be a part of this new church plant venture even if you already have a regular home church to attend. In fact, this is an incredibly practical way to support us while having a minimal impact upon your own home church. 

Several of you have been a part of various church ministries where God has granted my family and me the privilege to serve (either in a voluntary capacity or in a pastoral role) and each of these ministries were approximately 12 years or more. With that in mind, and with this new year ahead, I want to encourage you to prayerfully consider making a small commitment to the larger body of Christ.  Specifically, I ask you to consider offering to the Lord, a short-term missionary service with The Church for 12 days over this next year.

Think about it! Here’s a missionary journey that will not cost you a flight overseas, nor require a great deal of your time, but it will afford you with the chance to reach out into your local community and your neighboring communities (as Jesus said, “you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria.” Acts 1:8), while also being a part of and a great resource and support to a brand-new church start-up. As a church start-up, we are in need of people to help in various ministry capacities, mainly on Sunday mornings.  However, there will also be a few additional opportunities outside of our main Sunday services. We would like to canvas the local neighborhood with flyers, invites and prayer, and as a short-term missionary, your presence during the church service would provide an additional person whom a visitor can meet, be encouraged by and see that they are loved. 

If you would be willing to assist us in this new adventure, then we ask three things of you:

1. Pray and ask God specifically what He would have you do to help us.
2. Consider and plan out over this next year what 12 days you can specifically be available to help us – knowing that Sundays will be our most vital need.
3. Contact us via phone or email and let us know of your availability and resource(s) so we can effectively coordinate according to each need (The Church phone number is (951) 324-5330 and my email is: pastortom@thechurch.site).

Lastly, PLEASE be certain to set aside our very first big event, which will be our official church launch Sunday, March 31st, 2019, with services beginning at 10:00 AM, and a free lunch served immediately after at 11:30 AM!!! There will be additional announcements regarding preparation and invitation days before this first great event, as well as other dates you can come participate in with The Church Family Fellowship, so keep your eyes opened for more information on our church website at: www.thechurch.site, or on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/TheChurchHome/

Thank You for Your Consideration,

Pastor Tom
