The Post-Coronavirus Church

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on March 29, 2020 by Steve DurkacMarch 29, 2020avatar

The coronavirus is challenging many of the ways we do life in America. Some businesses are discovering that employees can work from home, families are adjusting to actually spending more time together, and church members are realizing that a weekly formal program may not be as necessary to their personal spiritual growth as they once thought. I am guessing that a lot of us are really missing weekly fellowship with like-minded believers in Christ. I am also guessing that a … Continue reading →

Organic Pastor?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on May 24, 2017 by Steve DurkacMay 24, 2017avatar

Somewhere along the line of my journey with CrossHope Chapel, it occurred to me that my calling in this mission was one of an “organic pastor” in philosophy, approach, and ministry. I want to give you a definition for the term “organic pastor” which is a term that I like to use when talking about those called of God to pastoral ministry through an organic development of church planting. Partly, I am sharing this definition because I want to start using … Continue reading →
