Party Church

Why we are called "The Party Church"

In Luke 15, Jesus told three stories.
They were stories about precious things lost.
He told of a woman who had lost a small fortune, a shepherd who had lost a sheep and a father who had a runaway son.

Something precious was lost and warranted an all-out search.
When it was found, it was cause for unbridled celebration.

Then he said, "There is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

It is not a stretch, nor disrespectful, to say that heaven throws a huge party when lost people come home to God.
And if we know anything about the Jewish concept of feasts and banquets, we can be sure that there is a lot of singing, dancing and joyful noise in heaven's banquet halls.

So why should church be dull and boring?
Why should we subject people to mind-numbing boredom and sameness when heaven is cutting down the nets in victory?
Our church is not a show, not a performance, and not very polished. As a whole, we're a pretty messed-up gathering of people. But God is good, His mercy endures forever and He is opening His arms to lost, broken people like us...and like you.
