The Church plant Point Community Church announced today that it would be closing soon. For many years, this ministry ran beside mine in the same urban area. We discussed hosting them in my own Church, too. This Church plant had some strong pluses, which I listed at (click here) Point Community Church. However, the Church was hampered by instability of venue and ministry, and (I felt) lacked a few vital ingredients -- above all, a part but not whole appreciation of "ministry by members". Perhaps it could have combined its worship with others as an outreach, say a home. That would be quite a trick, but possible, and could broaden a Church's make-up and even establish a venue. OBSERVATION: I have welcomed Church plants. In practice, these very seldom set established Churches at risk, in fact complement them and enrich them.
