It's 2010 and this is the year God has chosen to begin a new work in, and through me. I am so thrilled (and humbled) by the vision that God has dropped in my lap over the past year that I can barely contain my excitement! That's why I am pleased to introduce the Intersection to all of you! It's a dream that has been brewing in my Spirit for a while, but in the year of the Wild Goose Chase it is time to let the thing fly and see where the Holy Spirit takes it!
I see this new site as an extension of the work God has been doing over the past two decades through Gerry Stoltzfoos, our lead pastor at Freedom Valley. We will not be a carbon copy of the body at Freedom Valley York Road, but we WILL be an expression of God's love wherever our influence goes!
Let me explain our concept a bit more.
An intersection creates a choice...a choice to stay on the road you have been on, or a chance to turn in a different direction. Sometimes you need a different direction to get a new lease on life. This is where we come in!
I believe God has given us the challenge of creating moments of intersection, where faith and creativity come together in one defining moment to change lives for the good. A chance to take a different direction in life. One that helps transform broken, hurting people into loving and positive power players in their communities. A chance to connect with others and be moved, challenged and encouraged that there is hope for their life. The Intersection is just that kind of place. In fact, our desire is to help you reach the God-given potential that is yet to be found. We are a group of believers, living in relationship with God and each other for the mutual benefit of the communites that we live in.
I invite you to join us at our next Growth Group meeting to see what we are experiencing first-hand. It is scheduled for this Sunday, January 17th @ Freedom Valley York Road, starting at 5:30pm. This is a vision of church like you've never seen before and we are certain that you will experience God in a new way if you come. Blessings and peace to you!
