Does the Community Faith Church need a building?

Community Faith Church Worship Center


There are some beautiful buildings that use great architecture, wonderful use of light, unique icons, and transcendent art to create an atmosphere of peace, serenity and access to God.   These things are not wrong, but they do not guarantee, either community, or faith.  You can find a community faith church in an inspiring building, or in the corner of street mission in the inner city with sights, sounds, and smells that seem more like hell than heaven.   The Apostle Paul speaks about our struggle with spiritual things not physical things.   We do not need to make ourselves comfortable to find God, in fact sometimes our comfort in the setting of our church building may distract us from finding/maintaining our connection with God and others in the community faith church.






Even the Community Faith Church forerunner The temple got caught up in the problem of having a building.  The people who had been freed from Jewish slavery, suddenly found themselves in slavery to their king in order to bolster his image of being the greatest ruler by building these great monuments that were supposed to be about the God of Creation and the freedom he gave his people and Solomon's temple is being built by slave labor.   The Community Faith Church does not need a building.  The true Community Faith Church is found in the hearts of the people and in their True Pastor and Shepherd Jesus.

The Gathering of the Community Faith Church

h

The community faith church is an expression of the church throughout the world. A gathering of believers in different venues that overlooks denominational differences and theological arguments to gather as and expression of shared faith. The community faith church can be found where ever the followers of Jesus set aside what makes them difference and is united as a community of faith. It happens on college campuses, in coffee shops, and even in church basements. Our prayer is that you will find in your community a faith church that will be a basis for mutually building each others relationship with God.

Community Faith Church Local Expression

There are some cities that have a local gathering of Jesus followers who have adopted the name Community Faith Church.  While this may be their legal name, in essence the true Community Faith Church is represented by all of those people who have an intimate relationship with Jesus.  It grieves God that too often the Community Faith Church is known by its fighting with each other and arrogance that they are better than the other parts of the Community Faith Church.  God’s desire is that for all who call Jesus their friend and brother to love each other and set aside their differences in order to love their communities better.
