Pastor Chris Padiath - April 12, 2026
A Healthy Church
As we begin our new series “Future-Focused Church,” Pastor Chris takes us to Acts 15:22–33 to explore what it means to be a healthy church. By looking at the early church in Jerusalem, we discover that a thriving church doesn’t happen by accident, it requires intentional discernment, Spirit-led teaching, and a culture of encouragement. This message challenges us to examine our role in building a church that is theologically, spiritually, and missionally vital, not just in vision, but in everyday practice as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit together.

From Series: "Future Focused Church"
Becoming the church God wants us to be doesn’t happen by accident. To be a theologically, spiritually and missionally vital church, we need to set strategic goals that will keep us motivated and help us monitor progress. In this series, we will look at three New Testament churches and how they serve as an example to us of the kind of church we are meant to be.
