As a large church, Grace Community Church has the ability to reach individuals across the globe. With domestic outreach programs to global ones from Latin America to Asia. I was most interested in their work in Southeast Asia. Islam is the most widespread religion in Southeast Asia, with over 280 million participating members. It is […]

Happy Easter on Campus
Over the past week, many of the Grove City College students went home for Easter Break to be with family, others decided that they would go on a long overdue vacation with friends, and a few of us had to stay on campus because of the unique circumstances that have occurred over the past year […]
How to Recapture the Lost
As Christians, we are called to spread the gospel message to those who do not know God. We are to go out to all the world and preach this wonderful news to those who are lost. But, how should we as Christians recapture the individuals who have been in and actively part of church? The […]
Churchlessness in a pandemic
As America grows increasingly secular, frequent church attendance has begun to phase out. Skepticism and apathy are prevalent, and in the youngest generation, more and more people claim to be irreligious. Now, with the world in only a semi-functioning state, churches have had to create new ways to reach both their congregation and nonchristians. But […]
Covid-19 and the Connotations for Corporate Worship
It’s truly amazing – and certainly discouraging – to think back to the world we lived in only a year ago. Last March, the way we lived changed dramatically.

I attend a Church by the name of Liquid that seeks to “liquify the culture and immerse it in Christianity […]

When things seem to be working fine, it is easy to resist change, as we do not like to change what is working for us. However, the Lord […]
Covid-19 and Its Effect On the State of Church Worship
It is safe to say at this point that Covid-19 has created many difficulties across the world regarding all gatherings and group-related activities. Local Churches and Sunday activities are no exception to this. Due to state mandates and a lack of general safety for their congregations, churches large and small, old and new have all […]
Maximizing Kingdom Impact — Compassion International
When I think about people and organizations around the world fighting against the brokenness and darkness of our fallen condition, one of the first non-profits that comes to mind is Compassion International. Of course, this is partially due to Compassion’s big name and widespread involvement with many churches and Christian events here in the states. […]
