What If We Change The Church?

Marked by division, scandal, and abuse, for many of us, our relationship with the church has moved from complicated to non-existent.

But, what if we could change the church? What if young adults, instead of leaving, became a catalyst for change in our churches? What if we were the first to seek reconciliation, the first to share our resources, the first to make room for our neighbor, and the first to speak words of truth and life to one another? Could things be different?

Jesus went up on a mountain and taught his disciples how to live counter-culturally. It was a message that challenged their way of life and a new call for obedience that completely changed their lives. If we want to change the church we need to change ourselves and model for others a radically different way of life. We need to gather at the feet of Jesus and become his disciple. We need to remember that the church is not a building but a people, a gathering of disciples committed to live like Jesus. We need to imagine a different world and become a people of influence, prayer, grace, and integrity.
