“to be honest, having a Southern Baptist affiliation has not been especially helpful when it comes to connecting with our largely unchurched community.”

Pastor Pennington-Russell’s attitude is fabulous. The import (my anti-spam word, lol!) of her statement is exactly right. The church is there to reach the community and draw people in, not push them away. I wonder how many good, intelligent, capable women AND men in her unchurched community have given up on Jesus and faith because of lies told in God’s name?

I hope that Pastor Pennington-Russell’s church will EXPLODE with new growth as they love people and preach Jesus! I might just go pay them a visit myself 🙂
