Multifaceted

When I was part of a church plant back home the Pastor said to me once, "It takes all kinds of different churches to reach different kinds of people." This I have found to be true. When this Pastor arrived he went to several churches within the city to inform them that he was starting a church but also to partner with them. I believe he was promoting a sense of unity and just trying to work together with the other Pastors in that city to achieve the same goal of reaching people despite the fact that his church may be different from their churches. Through this I learned that it does take several different types of churches to reach a community. The reality is who cares what style your church is as long as life change is happening. I have met many people who believe that church can only be done one way. The problem with this is that our world is multi-everything. And I believe our God is also. Just look at the number of different races in the world, or different types of plants and trees, and crazy bugs and animals. Sometimes I watch the discovery channel and see some animal that they are researching and I think to myself, "what in the world is that?" I believe its a declaration that God loves variety.
