Beginning the conversation...

What an unbelievable 5 months it has been for CCC! It seems as if so much has changed over the last few months but to look back and realize how things have transpired - it is so God driven! Let me just introduce myself. I am the interim pastor of CrossCreek Church (also youth pastor).

As Johnny C said in the first post, this is a site for John and I to shed a few layers and share our hearts with our friends of CrossCreek and beyond. My personal perception for this blog, originally, was to make this an emerging(ent) genre book review blog but I realize that we (John and I) have much more to share with our friends than just book reviews. We will also invite others to blog some thoughts on here as well.


In all this my goal is to do nothing but unify and uplift. As Cordes stated we are from a contemporary church history at CrossCreek. As we move away from that model and towards this emerging/missional model I want it to be a compliment to what others in the body of Christ are doing, period. By no means do we want to down play the role that others have played for growing God's Kingdom.

I have been reading Chris Seay's book, "Faith of my Fathers." In the next week I will share some of my thoughts on that as well as other things happening around CCC. I hope this blog is informative as well as interactive. Please feel free to post comments and create dialogue. This site is not a sight to personally attack but to edify and have progressive dialogue. If you have personal issues that need to be addressed please email us at acts918@gmail.com.

As I continue to stretch my faith and scales seem to keep dropping from my eyes daily (hence Acts 9:18)...I hope this blog site is something that will in turn provide the same for you as you journey from afar or close by.

In His Grace and Mercy,
JWShaw
