Why Do People Need Your Church?

One of the questions we've come back to again and again about starting Compass Church is this: "Is there a need for this church in this place at this time?" It's not the only question that every church must ask itself, but it is a foundational one.

Jason Bishop is planting The Journey, a missional church plant in Lubbock, Texas, and he was asked this question in a public setting today. His response goes to the very heart of the matter and clearly and simply puts things in perspective.

Read his answer here.

You know, after I answered the lady, she went back to planning with her friends. After they were done, she came over and we spoke for about 45 minutes. I told her that her question had impacted me and that I had blogged about it. Long and short, she's interested in our approach, and copied my blog to her advertising site's faith page.
