Today Seminary Avenue Community Church's members officially voted on a merger with New Life. We've been in process on this with their leadership for about 4-5 months. We've sought from the beginning to keep this in an open hand before God. We've prayed that it would be a win for Jesus' kingdom, a win for Seminary Ave and a win for New Life.
The vote was 10 in favor, 1 opposed! Seminary Avenue will be merging with New Life!
I'm excited about the spiritual opportunity that lays ahead of the church as we look at doing a New Life Restart. Its been a difficult decision for the members of Seminary Avenue Community Church--making a decision of this magnitude always comes with a lot of thought, prayer and even some grieving.
Now more than ever we need to pray that Jesus would lead the way and that His grace would cover this season of preparation for a grand opening in March.
Jesus we pause to say that you are Lord, that your kingdom is what matters. We thank you that you are at work in this opportunity! We pray that this door that you have opened will bring many to salvation, others to restoration, that it will bring community transformation and that heaven will have a lot of reason to rejoice over a life-giving church continuing to make a difference at the corner of Seminary Ave and Lill St. Your Kingdom come.
hooray!
