Faith Lutheran Church Oakville
Pentecost, Pastor Chris Sommer
Today is Pentecost, the "birthday" of The Church. So that begs the question..."What is the church?" To help you answer that, what if I asked, "Where is the church?" How would you answer? You might reply with "6101 Telegraph." And you would be right...partially. Let's talk about it.
Locations & Times
Faith Lutheran Church - Oakville
St. Louis, MO 63129, USA
Sunday 9:00 AM
Our church buildings facilitate the mission, but they are not critical to the mission.
Through our current experiences we are (re)learning the true definition of church. We are the church.
The institutional church:
o Is not unnecessary
o Is not evil
o Is not unnecessary
o Is not evil
While the church is the people of God, the institutional church is an instrument of God.
We are a cathedral made of people… and Jesus is the cornerstone.
WAYS TO GIVE
We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.

The church is still who it has always been… a people, not a place.
