About The Christian Mountain
Christian Mountain: The vision: All of the churches (could we cross the denominational lines?) of the mountains working together to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to strengthen and encourage the mountain church, by creating networks of people, prayer, resources, educational opportunities, cooperation by the local churches, communications, support, and loving ministry. Can you see different pastors working together to help their churches, their pastoral friends, and community churches to develop into an effective saving force for Christ?
What could happen?
We could be working together across denominational lines with those churches who are affiliated with Christ to reach out to our communities, family, friends, and neighbors to see them changed by the Holy Spirit. Why can't we help each other? Why can't one church help another? Why can't we work together? Why can't God save West Virginia? This is just the beginning. We must begin now to reach out in love to our family, friends, and neighbors before it is too late.
Who could be involved?
Christian Mountain: The Common ground of Ministry and Mission would be the apostle's creed which says: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy universal church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
How could it get started?
Christian Mountain: The mission is an outreach through a local church body/association of churches to their community and friends. Brothers and sisters in Christ would help each other. The outreach would seek to help those that call, are referred, or looked up by the ministers of this ministry. It would seek to reach the lost, lonely church in the wildwood who have no pastor and or no leadership to give them a helping hand up. The ministry would reach out to the community churches to bring them all together in fellowship to bring glory and honor to the Lord and to do more together than they can do alone through the unity of believers. This ministry will seek to help the church to overcome the obstacles that are blocking the path of effective church ministry and growth. And call upon all of us to reach out to our neighbors, family, and friends to help them in Christ and to come to have Him in their lives, families, and homes.
