Secret Church

Right now, around the world, millions of Christ-followers are meeting in secret places, worshiping in hiding, practicing their faith behind closed doors. If exposed, they face prison, torture, or even death. Yet their devotion to God and His Word are unwavering, even heroic. They are our brothers and sisters in Christ. We must learn to take our God as seriously as they do.

When we think of “church” in America, we think of going to meet at a building, singing, praying and hearing a message from a Pastor or teacher. But in many places around the world, “church” meets in a home, an apartment, even in secret. These small groups of Christ-followers often meet for many hours in study, prayer and fellowship, as it is dangerous to travel to “church” and they want to make the most of their time together.

On May 20th, DCC will be the location for ‘Secret Church’. We will spend 5 hours, from 6 PM to 11PM in God’s Word, prayer and worship. Our desire is to see people come for the entire event, but realizing that conflicts and prior commitments might interfere, we are splitting the event into smaller sections. If you need to miss part of the event, you may still show up easily at any time to join in without feeling ‘lost’. Most of the night will be spent in Bible study as I teach through the book of Acts. There will be a time of praise and worship in music from 7:30 to 8:30.

Please make plans now to be there: this Friday (5/20) @ DCC, 6-11p.
