What's in a Name?

Some have asked about a name for the church plant. Right now we're planning on calling it "Journey Church".

Why? I believe we are all on a journey with God that doesn't end until we breath our last breathe. Some people are very very far from God. Some even view him as their enemy. For these folks, the journey has not yet begun. Other people have grown up serving the Lord their entire lives. These folks too have more steps to take. None of us ever arrive. All of us are in the adventure of a lifetime. All of us have a next step in our journey.

Some know my friend Joe Darago, who planted a church in Peoria, Arizona. You may know that he serves in a church called Journey Church. Am I copying him? Yup. And I intend to copy a bunch of his stuff too. That guy does good work down there in Arizona. Check out his web site for proof. (http://www.lifeisajourney.org/) I hope you like his website. I'm going to copy that too, hopefully.

Do you have other ideas? Second Alliance Church of Gretna perhaps? Leave your comments for consideration!

I was thinking and praying about the name for the church plant and immediately God said to me, "The Journey Church". So I feel like he has confirmed that name choice!
