Thompson Road Bible Fellowship is a local community of believers
in Jesus Christ who seek to live by what we study in the Bible; to worship God
through our lifestyle, music, art, word and action; to care for and nurture our
brothers and sisters in Christ, and be a significant part of our community and
the world by demonstrating Jesus' love for all.*
*Let's be honest…sometimes we do
not live up to that
standard. The grace of Jesus continues to be necessary for all of us. We
would love to have you become a part of our joys and tragedies,
failures and successes.
As
a church, theologically, we subscribe to the words attributed to Augustine:
"In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things,
love."*
*(Sigh) It would be so much easier if we all believed the same thing, exactly the same
way, at exactly the same time.
But where is the fun in that? Jesus, the very Son of God
lived, died and rose again so that those who believe may do the same by the
power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Now, about all the stuff in-between…
This life given to us is passed in stages, with
each phase requiring new skills and adaptations. We hope to be able to provide
peer groups with experienced teachers to help facilitate growth and
encouragement for whatever situation and opportunity has presented itself.*
*Life is messy, challenging
and ever changing. We need each other. We need friends who are willing to say
the hard things to us and to laugh so hard that milk comes out of our nose. No
matter if you are towards the end of time, the middle or just beginning, we were
created for relationships. The church is ultimately a collection of people who cross
boundaries and
peculiarities to love each other.
We know that going to a new church, with new relationships is challenging; having to open up your heart to others,
with every possible potential for pain and disappointment. However, the church
does not exist to make you happy and to placate your every stylistic preference
and be filled with perfect people. (Just look at the Apostles!) So, love the
Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself and we promise to do the same.*
