Cross Cultural
We desire all ethnicities to be invited into our churches.
Include the Poor
Our churches work hard to include the poor.
Joyful Worship
We design our worship services around celebration and exhalation.
Sound, Biblical Preaching
Our churches preach Gospel-centered sermons.
Randy's Rag
Read our founder's blog for his thoughts on current events and theology.
Welcome! The picture above is me contemplating the bust of Thomas Chalmers on a visit to Scotland. For the most part these articles were written by me, and so I have to take responsibility for them. I know I am subject to error so if you see where I have been wrong, or misused Scripture especially, please correct me. I only ask that you do so in the same way you wish to be corrected.
We believe that the single best thing we can do for the poor is to plant the right kind of churches in their midst.
