Healing & Hope - Two Truths to Acknowledge

Welcome to River City Church Online. Thank you for joining us today as we start our new series called Crafting a Culture of Healing & Hope in the Church.
Today's message has been presented by Pastor Darrell Bierman.

A healthy church is one where every person is seen, heard, and valued.

A healthy church has carefully crafted a culture of goodness, dignity, and respect.

However, both history and our current headlines reveal a church that can be a deeply flawed, sinful, and unhealthy institution, marred by acts of injustice, corruption, abuse, misogyny, and oppression. Indeed, far from having “goodness cultures” too many churches today have “toxic” cultures!

So, is this vision of a healthy church even possible or is this vision idealistic and unattainable this side of heaven?

Here at River City Church, we believe that a healthy church is possible, but creating one will takes all of us working together deliberately following a map.

This new series will give us the map and will both equip and challenge us to turn this this dream into a reality.

This coming Sunday Darrell will acknowledge two truths in society today.
1) The importance of church.
2) The reality that church regularly breaks our hearts.
Considering the above, how do we embrace the church, without denying the real darkness & danger we find in its very human and fragile institution?

Café will be open right after the service.
We are located at 215 South Street, Cambridge, Ontario.

God bless you today and we hope to see you soon.
