Element

So, it's been a while since we left the church Peter and I had attended for over 15 years . . . in truth it has been 2 years since we left. And in that time we have tried different churches looking for one that we could call home. This process has been very difficult because we had attended our previous church for so long and our roots went very deep in that church, plus we had been jaded and burnt out by church work. We tried a couple of different churches in our area for a while, but never seemed to be able to put down roots and begin growing again. However, for the first time in a long time I feel like we have found a church that we could call home. It is called Element church (http://www.iamelement.org/). The lead pastor there, Bobby Triplett, is someone that we have known for a while and actually was on staff with Peter at our former church home. He and his wife have a vision for doing church differently and Bobby is a leader that is transparent and real when he speaks. I feel, for the first time in a long time, excited to go on Sunday morning. Not because the worship is amazing, or the speaking is out of this world, but because it is a place that is real and authentic. And isn't that what church is supposed to be?
