Sometimes ...

It's the one who takes the path
 just ahead of you
that makes the journey seem possible.

They believe in what
you can't see for yourself
quite yet.

They never leave
you behind even when
 they are up ahead.

They take the corners and the hills
with such confidence
they don't seem so daunting.

They want the best for you
and therefore you can believe
 the best for yourself.

The Cotten-eye Joe

Church At The Joe

Do you know someone who would never enter the doors of a traditional church? Someone who just doesn't buy the whole God thing? Someone who has been burned by people and is holding out on God because of it?

If you don't ... I'd like to suggest you get out a little more. Life is meant to be lived in the world but not of it. And the world I live in is filled with people who have been poked at by a hundred different circumstances that make them wonder if this thing we call Christianity really works.

The purpose of this blog isn't to air the dirty laundry of church splits and pastor failures ... committee red tape or feeling left out of the loop. The purpose is to invite you to come ...

Just As You Are ...

bring others with you ...

Just As They Are ...

because Church at the Joe is for you.

It's for the you that is searching ...

the you that wonders ...

the you that questions ...

and the you that doubts.

Because God is God regardless of your wondering, questioning, doubt-filled brokeness!

And I have it on Good Authority ...

He's already gone before us to prepare this place.

Skeptical?

Well, come see what happens on November 7th!!

The Watermelon Crawl and the Boot-Scoot and Boogie

might be the usual ...

But there won't be anything usual

about

Church at the Joe!!!
