I hope you will join me this Sunday afternoon, January 29, at 4:00 p.m. in Room W-200 for a Town Meeting to hear about a proposed new role for Deacons at Ingleside.
Our Overseers are proposing that we revise our Church Bylaws so that “the primary responsibility of the Deacon Ministry Team shall be care for and service to widows at Ingleside.”
After a thorough study of all the relevant Scripture passages (including Acts 6:1-7; Philippians 1:1; and 1 Timothy 3:8-13), we believe that...

So, here’s what we recommend in the meantime:

Whenever newcomers check out a church, virtually all are asking some form of the same question: “Is there a place for me?”
And for years, our short answer at Ingleside has been, “Yes!”
Our answer reflects the spirit of Romans 15:7, which says: “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God” (ESV).
Of course, the specific questions newcomers may ask are often more detailed, nuanced, and personalized.
Consider these possibilities:

In his ground-breaking book, The Purpose Driven Church (1995), Rick Warren recounts a study he made of the 100 largest churches in the United States. He writes: “Although I discovered that large, growing churches differ widely in strategy, structure, and style, there were some common denominators. My study confirmed what I already knew . . . : Healthy, large churches are led by pastors who have been there a long time. I found dozens of examples. A long pastorate does not...

For the five Sundays of July, we plan to gather in one great worship service in our Worship Center at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday.
After consultation with our staff and Overseers, we believe this summer shake-up to our schedule will be beneficial in several ways:
Families will be encouraged to worship together – all in one service. Care will still be provided for birth-4K in our preschool ministry, but kids 5K and older will worship in “big church” with their parents for these five...

On May 3 and 17, our Nominating Committee met to select new nominees who will be considered for service as Overseers.
As I left the meetings, my heart was deeply grateful for the quality and strength of the leadership God has given our church across the years.
I’m convinced that one of the reasons that we have had strong leadership is because we have a good selection process. It includes congregation-wide input, consideration by a Nominating Committee, personal interviews, and...

A revolution has occurred over the past 10 years.
According to the Pew Research Center, in May 2011 only 35% of adults in the United States owned a smartphone. By 2021 the number had grown to 85% (see the data here).
Not only do most of us now own smartphones, but we also use our phones now as our primary way of accessing information, communicating with one another, and managing the many details of modern life.
When you look at the worldwide data about internet traffic, in 2011...
