It has been so good to be back to my "roots" here on this campus. To be apart of Claiborne Christian School and Family Church is such a very humbling opportunity.
This past Sunday Family Church celebrated 30 years of ministry (1977-2007) since Pastor Michael and Vicki O'Neal first accepted the call to pastor a small church in West Monroe. It had been around only eight years earlier (1969) and had already seen five different pastors. When Pastor O'Neal took over there were only 23 members but the resulting growth is unbelievable. Family Church now sits at 1,245 members and continues to grown in health and size.
Family Church is a church that is dedicated to becoming fully devoted disciples of Christ and puts a tremendous focus on the family which we believe is truly at the heart of God. It is a church that has not swayed, shifted, or moved from the pure word of God. It is a church that is dedicated to staying focused on eternal things, to love people, to be devoted to prayer and the word of God, to bridle the tounge, to pursue God with passion, to raise up Godly families, and be given to the work of God! It is an exciting body to be apart of!
Sunday morning was a celebration of what all GOD has done in people's lives the past 30 years and what He is going to do the next 7-10 years. The presence of God was so very strong in the service! I encourage you to go watch the service at www.familychurch.org You can go to family media to watch it.
Have a great week!
