Rev. Mackey: Church Used To Be Center Of Community
By Rev. THEOPHAN MACKEY Church attendance in the United States has been on the decline now for about 20 years. There have been many studies conducted which have tried to solve this problem; however, there may be more than one answer.
The church used to be the center of the community. Many immigrant populations used the church as their anchor in this new world, a place to belong and restart a life which was lost moving across the ocean. The early churches in America provided familiarity in a strange land. They provided commonality and stability during times of change.
Before immigration, Read More
Pastor Granillo: Gloriously Human
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLODietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “A Christian is someone who shares the sufferings of God in the world.” How many of us know pain and suffering? It may be through betrayal, death, fear or physical pains that bring us to our knees; but I am willing bet that every person knows a bit about suffering.
I believe, with all that I am, that God also knows about suffering. Knowing that His time was coming—that those who walked with Him would betray Him, that those He came to save would spit in His face, and that soon He would suffer an excruciating death—knowing all Read More

Pastor Granillo: Genuinely Human
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOWhat does it mean to be genuinely human?
Trying to discover our identity seems like it has caused more division than unity in our world. There are too many people today who have been told that their very existence is a mistake and at the very best they are certainly an inconvenience to those who matter.
There are far too many today who think that being genuinely human is bad thing. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Regardless of who you are, you were created by the one true God. He gave you life for a purpose beyond anything you might have imagined. You have great Read More
