Church at Work

For the last Sunday in October my good friend, Pastor Tim Blevins, and the crew at Life Community Church did a most unusual thing. They canceled their weekend service in order to take the church outside of their four walls and serve the community. Teams from Life Community served local churches, schools, parks, grocery stores, gas stations and more. Pastor Tim took a team to join the set-up and tear down crews at Lifepoint Church.

Life Community began their service this past Sunday with a video recapping what God did through their day of serving. My eyes were very sweaty as I watched what took place. Take about 15 minutes and celebrate with them.

I want to publicly say how excited I am about what God is doing through Tim Blevins and Life Community Church. I once heard it said that many churches could close their doors and nobody would even know the difference. That is definitely not the case for Life Community. The ROCK Church family and I are honored to serve our city alongside you guys.

Another church I don’t want to be

Pastor Tim Blevins is the real deal. I had the privilege of having lunch with him a few weeks ago and I left encouraged and inspired. Tim and his wife, Harriet, held the first service for Life Community on Easter Sunday of 2004 at Bradley Creek Elementary School. Over the last several years they have seen steady growth in their church. They currently meet in a building that was formerly Nevada Bob’s Golf Shop and have two services to accommodate their congregation.

On their website, Pastor Tim quotes John Wesley,

“Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell.”

Anybody who quotes Wesley is a friend of mine and fellow trailblazer.

Life Community Church and The ROCK are two very different churches leading people in Wilmington toward the same God. Each of us have specific callings, purpose and destinies. That is what makes us unique and I celebrate that.

Why not comment and tell me about other church in our city that are rocking it for God?
