Who are we?

Welcome to the Anglican Church of the Advent blog. We are a church plant that desires to reach into the dark places of Columbia, MO, and share the light of Christ. The following points will give an idea of what that means in more detail.

• We are a missional expression of the Anglican Church. What does this mean? It means that we are committed to the worship of God because we were made to give God glory. It also means that we are committed to mission because we believe that all Christians are called to share the reconciling love of Christ to the world.
• We are committed to discipleship because we believe that all people are called, not to just come to Christ, but to be transformed in our knowledge and habits to become more like Christ.
• We are committed to service to this community and the least of this community. A church that does not care for the poor and the poor in spirit has lost the heart of Christ.
• We are committed to community.  We are called to love one another and be in community with one another through hospitality, worship, prayer, and service.
• We are a work in progress at this time, both as people in need of a savior and as a church plant.

If you want to be involved with planting a church or are just curious about the church, please email me at adventpastor@gmail.com. Also, the events posted on this blog are open to anybody who would like to come. Your presence and input is wanted and needed. We can also use prayer that God will show us the mission that is already being done through the Holy Spirit in Columbia and how we can enter into that mission.
