Why

Since my trip to sunny south Florida last November, we have really dialed it in as a church. I had the opportunity to go see a rocking church in Ft. Myers, Florida who has been reaching south Florida for about 7 years now.

After hanging out with Matt Keller and the team of Next Level Church, they inspired me to ask three major questions about YPC:

• What is the issue or problem God has called us to solve in Pryor, Oklahoma?
• Why now?
• Why us?

1. The problem is simple. I believe for the most part people we keep running into haven't given up on God, they have just given up on the Church! Sad, but true. I once read a statement from an old time man of God that said “Our theaters are packed today because the world can lie well—but our churches are empty because we tell the truth poorly.” ~Charles Finey
   YPC is going to tell the truth in a relevant, easy to understand way. It’s all about life change in people, and where it happens most effectively for us. We recognize that there is a generation out there that lies untapped and is crying out for a place to fit, a place to be tapped in to, and a place to experience God in a real way. YPC is just that.
2. Why Now? Simple....Because if current evangelism trends succeed only 4% of this generation will be reached for God....and that is if the trends SUCCEED!! We are simply unwilling to let that happen. By telling the truth of God’s word in a language that this generation understands, we hope to reach the audience God has placed before us.
3. Why us? Because we are willing to stand up and do something about it. I can tell you this; it hasn't been an easy path to take, but it has been completely fulfilling. And many more are joining the cause daily.

Everybody reading this blog can either identify as being a person who needs this kind of creative life change or one who is called to help us do it.

We are not building a church through people—we are building people through a church.

Come find your place
God Bless
