Simple Church Communities

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on August 21, 2018 by Steve DurkacAugust 21, 2018avatar

In a previous post I gave a definition for what I think when I use the term “Organic Pastor” and you can find that post here. In this post I would like to help you understand just what I mean when I use the term “Simple Church Communities.”  My definition of the term “Simple Church Communities” is any gathering of people for the expressed purpose of worship, Bible teaching, and pastoral care that is regular and serves as the primary Christian fellowship … Continue reading →
