Back to Basics Church

by Oct 2, 2006

Since the beginning of Harbor’s birth process, we’ve put a very high emphasis on simplicity. We want to get back to the basics of what it means to be a church family: worshiping God together, studying the Word together, spending time in fellowship together, and displaying Christ’s love and truth together to the world around us.

After interviewing more than 100 Christian leaders, Christianity Today has come to the same conclusion:
If there is a consensus, it is this: The church needs a fresh infusion of that which has made it traditionally strong. But in the current context, back-to-the-basics feel counter-cultural: Exalt the uniqueness of Christ in a pluralistic culture, reach out to men in an era of feminism, and celebrate the timelessness of Word and sacrament in a market-driven culture obsessed with relevance.

How encouraging is that?
