SwEaT eQuItY...

<--- Bryan & Jennifer (our small group leaders), Me & Mike, Jenny & Mike, Megan & Mike.



(It's no mistake....we have 3 Mikes!)

I know that most of you have heard me talk about my small group in one fashion or another. There is something so incredible about being able to come as you are...something about vulnerability. It's hard to put into words just how close we have grown together in our relationships with one another and in our relationships with God.

I always giggle when someone asks me where I go to church. I giggle even blogging about it. Our name is simple....T.B.A. (or weird) :) But, it is the meaning of that name and THE church that stands behind it that is SO AMAZING!

It first stood for "To Be Announced". That is exactly what we were.....2 healthy churches, with 2 different names united for a greater purpose....to become the hands and feet of Christ. So, for the time being, we were truly to be announced. In the mean time, we outgrew our building (Hallelujah!) and sold it!

At some point we knew we would need to define our name. After almost 2 years...T.B.A. sort of grew on all of us and I don't think we really wanted to let it go. After lengthy discussions, prayers, and planning by our pastoral team....


T.B.A. "TRUSTING, BELIEVING, ACTING"


Unique. And I just love it . :)

Our new building is under construction. Groups of volunteers from church have been out on the grounds cleaning up and such after the workers........."sweat equity". It looks like we will be moving in sometime this summer! (the pic above is obviously from just that....not exactly our Sunday best!)
