I’ve been away from Blogging since Christmas. Life has been busy in trying to grow a new church and disciple the people that God has given to my care. Here’s a short testimonial from John and Alex on how God is changing their lives through The Exchange Community.
In our new church in Jackson, Missouri, The Exchange Community, we spend three weeks talking about God’s Identity. We just finished four weeks talking about our Identity in the Gospel. We believe you always need to begin with Who God is, What he’s done through the person and work of Jesus Christ, and Who we are because of it, and then What we should do. If you get this messed up, you’ll live a life full of stress, regrets, and worries.
Family Identity
Missionary Identity
Servant Identity
Disciple Identity

We owe much to Soma Communities for these teachings and Identities.
So we recently did a series at our new church in Jackson, Mo, The Exchange Community called Identity. Here are the messages from that series.
Identity: Father
Identity: Son
Identity: Spirit

Our new church, The Exchange Community, has been meeting monthly through the summer. We’ve had three worship gatherings. We’ve had many people, who haven’t been to church in a long time, come and check us out. We are now taking that next step of faith by starting a weekly worship gathering on September 8th at the Creative Edge.
Through the summer we talked about the three values of a GCM Collective church:
Unfortunately, we had audio problems and so we don’t have a video for our messages on the Gospel and Mission.
We will talk on September 8th on Why a New Church? We will talk about why in, of all places, South East Missouri, do we need a new church? You’ll get an understanding of the come-as-you are culture that we’re trying to create. You’ll see what makes this new church community distinct amongst the other churches in our communities. You’ll also see why this new type of church is needed.
Please pray for us as we start this new church to reach many more people with the love and message of Jesus Christ.

The Exchange Community had its second monthly gathering. The first service we talked about the Gospel. In this gathering we talked about True Community.
Our third and final monthly gathering will be August 28th at the Creative Edge. Then we’ll start weekly gatherings starting the 8th of September. Please pray that God would continue to grow his church and lead us in discipling those we reach.
Crossing my mind. Mind on the cross.
May God use these pages to bless, encourage and strengthen you.
