Unchurched People Are Everywhere
On Saturday I had the privilege of setting up our sales tax exemption account at Lowe’s. In the course of conversation with the lady who was entering info into their computer, she asked what my title was. I simply replied, “Pastor.” Her next statement caught me off guard. She asked me how to spell it. The lady was kind, articulate, and very down to earth, but she genuinely didn’t know how to spell pastor. Why? My only conclusion is that she’s never interacted with the word in print or interacted face to face with a pastor before.
Before we started Arrowhead, there was a time when I really thought there were enough churches in every town from Kentucky south and from Texas east. Then the Lord began to open my eyes that there are unchurched, disconnected people in need of Jesus everywhere. And, the only reason to start a church anywhere is for them to have a place to connect. There still remains over 40,000 unchurched people in this medium-sized town of Morristown, and we want to be a church that is passionate about them hearing the gospel and finding life in Christ.
