There are still many things I would like to teach. The church went through a split over Calvinism shortly after I arrived and then a few people left over a couple of issues and long story short I ended up preaching then became pastor. Its a huge challenge. I'm not sure how its going to turn out. We have had a lot of visitors recently, some sticking around. We'll see what happens. Honestly we could be thriving a year from now or I could be helping someone else. Its like a home missions work from the ground up.

Building looks nice.
I don't believe this thread's topic is about any preacher forcing his congregants to believe anything. But you made two interesting statements, you said, you don't force them to believe everything you believe, as long as they don't have a problem with essentials. What are the essentials to you?
