"It was the glory of this great man, that he (Jonathan Edwards) had no love for innovation…. To the Scriptures he yielded the most profound reverence and the most implicit confidence."

Pierson '90,
It is to the glory of these churches , that they also have no love for innovation! To the scriptures they yield with most profound reverence and most implicit confidence.
The results my friend (pierson '90) is passion & innovation. A love for the lost....

thats awesome for you guys..congrats
What's up with Mosaic being number 7? Are they in the same category as all these churches? Are these all considered to carry the same belief of the Scriptures???
different mosaic vicky... But they are all different denominations eventhough they are all protestant ... Mosaic is very innovative - specially in LA - with hollywood in their backyard
awesome.. glad to be a part of it
thanks for the clarification.. :)
It's an honor to apart of such an awesome church.
What blessing the Lord has given Dave and I to minister under such an amazing vision to reach souls for Christ. I love this church and I love all those we serve with.

Hey bro -
Congrats on numero quatro. Shouting out to ya from numero tres! Kidding! You guys are amazing. God's doing a thing. Great to watch you guys from the cold midwest. Isn't there something in the Bible about woe to you, o brood of vipers, who bask in the 80 degree sun in Miami? Somewhere I saw that...
