What is A Simple Faith? That’s a good question and one we hear often. When we reach the place that we can completely answer it, A Simple Faith may no longer exist. Still, some clarification will help. When this small group began, sitting around a dining room table with anxious hearts and an unknown future, we set out by God’s grace to do three things: 1) To Worship God; 2) To Follow Christ; and 3) To Serve Others. This is our purpose, our mission statement, our strategic plan, and our only motivation.

 

As a result, a unique ministry has developed here. We find ourselves surrounded by those who need a place to get well and who long to experience God’s grace; by those who are hurting and broken, whose journey of faith has produced more questions than answers; by those who have given up on the church or anything religious; and by those whose doubts threaten to strangle their hope. So, this is a group of people who want a simple but deep, life-giving faith with as little baggage as possible. As the Apostle Paul said of our Lord, “All the things I once thought were so important are gone… I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him” (Philippians 3).

 

We don’t have a lot of programs here at A Simple Faith. You won’t find membership cards, robe-clad clergy, or capital campaigns to build the next building. What you will find is a group of people who worship God, follow Christ, and serve the world. It’s that simple. We hope you will journey with us. – Ronnie McBrayer
