Why "YOURplaceCHURCH"

How did you come up with the name “YOURplaceCHURCH?”

This was one of the questions that were asked at our last LTM's (Launch Team Meeting) The answer is simple. If you know me, then you know that one of my rantings is about your personal gifting from God. You see, I believe there are no accidents. When talking about creation, that would include you being born. God looked down through the expanse of eternity and decided that right now would be the best time for HIM to most effectively use you! So no matter what your parents have told you...."You were an oops, what can I say?”.....It doesn't change the fact that God knew exactly what he was doing when you were born.

So everybody who likes to belly-ache about “Why do I have to live in this city?” , or “I can't wait to move out,”  or “why was I born at such a volatile time in history?” the answer is simple.....God strategically placed you here for such a time as this.  Your skill set and giftings will show it.

A lot of people have no idea what they are capable of doing. According to Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, every person, saved or unsaved, has been chosen and given awesome and amazing gifts to use for the Kingdom of God.

Now, I believe that the ultimate use of those giftings, which have been so generously allotted to you, is in the local church for furthering the Kingdom of God. That's why HE gave them to you, and that's why we named the Church YOURplaceCHURCH. “Come find Your Place”

So if you ever wanted to know why you were created or what your place is in HIM, then come check us out every Tuesday night at Emerald City. We'll help you tap into everything God has created for you to do in life, and you'll find the unknown fulfillment you have never experienced before.

God Bless
