My heart for families: (guest post by Mitch Corn)

A few months ago my wife Jennie and I were celebrating the birth of our second daughter Colbie and pondering a passion that would move us beyond the realm of the ministry we had called home for close to a decade: Fellowship Church, in Grapevine, TX. This passion was for families and children to reach their full potential with God through the local church.

 

With our passion heavy on our hearts we began looking for a church that wanted to help families and children no matter what the cost. We were looking for a church that realized that the family is in crisis and wanted to be part of the solution. When we visited  Mountain Lake Church we heard Shawn challenge the church to give Awedaciously and sacrificially. Then he introduced one of the many couples whose marriages have been saved from divorce because of Mountain Lake. It was then and there we knew this was the place for us to fulfill the passion for families that God had given us.

 

Our goal is to change the way families and children view the local church. Without a doubt the local church is the very best thing a family can be involved in. Church is better than sports, PTA, clubs, because the local church is the only organization that Jesus Himself created. Other organizations are good but the local church is great and we want to help families realize how teaming with the church can help them reach their full potential.

 

Children are going to realize that church is the best part of their week. Parents are going to realize parenting done God’s way puts them in control and makes their children feel more loved. Marriages are going to be stronger because husbands and wives are going to learn they are not alone and how to succeed in the work of marriage.

 

God is moving at Mountain Lake Church. Our community will never be the same! And if you choose to be part of it, neither will you. I can’t wait to see all that God is about to do and I am thankful that my family can take part in it.
