The people who followed Jesus when he walked the earth as man created a remarkably magnetic culture. Something about following Jesus was irresistible to those who opened their hearts and minds to His Grace and Truth. This magnetic Jesus culture was a supernatural force that invaded hearts and dramatically changed thinking. People have always searched for greater truth and higher purpose in their lives. Quite simply, Jesus was AND is the answer to this age old quest of truth and purpose and church culture should reflect that.
All things were made through Jesus, his life is light (John 1:3-4). Jesus came from the Father full of Grace and Truth (John 1:14). After his resurrection, Jesus granted power and authority to his followers (the church) to carry the gospel message through the ages. The greatest movement in history is fueled by the grace and truth of Jesus. What if outsiders walked into a church environment today and could feel the energy of GRACE and the power of TRUTH? What if church was simply irresistible?
The Vision of Longleaf Church is; to create relevant environments that move people into community and empower families. Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We are looking forward to the Community Experience on Friday, July 24 in Warner Robins. We are re-branding the 2/42 as the Longleaf Community Experience. The Community Experience is a monthly environment with three objectives:
- To move people into community by connecting them to a small group.
- To share detail and practical realities around our vision.
- To celebrate the providential energy of our movement.
