St. Paul wrote to the Philippians
giving thanks: “because of your partnership in the Gospel from the
first day until now” (Phil. 15). Such partnerships are truly gifts
and blessings from God for which we should give thanks.
In 2010, Brothers and sisters in Christ
from both Concordia and Timothy Lutheran Church have been working
together to develop a partnership model and vision for working
together to expand and strengthen our Gospel ministry in the
neighborhoods that we serve. It may be summed up as:
Concordia/Timothy: A mission
partnership in Christ, for the community, as the
Church.
We still have much work to do to
further develop this partnership model, but we are excited about the
opportunities to reach out more effectively in ministry by working
together. Everything we do must ultimately serve the mission task
God has given us—namely, reaching people with the good news of
Jesus Christ, incorporating them into the fellowship of believers at
Concordia and Timothy, and helping them to grow as disciples of
Jesus.
If you are looking for a church home,
let this be your “first day” to partner with us in Christ.
