Dear Parents,
I can't believe we are about to start another year in CREW. A new group of students has moved up from the Children's Department and I am excited to see what God is going to do in the lives of all the students. Below you will find an outline of my philosophy of ministry and what I believe every student needs to change.
Gospel + safety + time. It’s what everyone needs. A lot of gospel + a lot of safety + a lot of time.
Gospel: good news for bad people through the finished work of Christ on the cross and the endless power of the Holy Spirit. Multiple exposures. Constant immersion. Wave upon wave of grace and truth, according to the Bible.
Safety: a non-accusing environment. No embarrassing anyone. No manipulation. No oppression. No condescension. But respect and sympathy and understanding, where sinners can confess and unburden their souls. A church environment where no one seeking the Lord has anything to fear.
Time: no pressure. Not even self-imposed pressure. No deadlines on growth. Urgency, but not hurry, because no one changes quickly. A lot of space for complicated people to rethink their lives at a deep level. God is patient.
This is what CREW seeks to be: gentle environments of gospel + safety + time. It’s where students are finally free to grow.
Reaching, Teaching & Releasing,
Pastor T Welch
