We moved into our building last October 5th with our TCO and this past week we received our CO! The building is wonderful to occupy and rich in presentation. We are very grateful to have come this far with the help of many volunteers and the giving (some times miraculous) of many others.
This location on Rt. 9 is amazing to us since we were not particularly looking to find a place on the major street in Waretown. We believe God led us to this building and then inspired us to take possession. We may take for granted that we are in but we came through a two year process. God has sent us what we needed over and over again. Now that we are here we want to be faithful to the supernatural call upon us to minster and serve.
Without the power of God to confirm His word we are just another sounding cymbal and noisy gong (Mark 16:20). Without the grace of God being emphasized we'd just be another religious institution putting burdens on people we wouldn't want put on us. Our understanding of God has dramatically changed...

We see Him as supplying, giving, carrying, and loving us always. Jesus intercedes to the uttermost twenty-four seven becoming our life, peace, purpose, strength, love, and joy. This is the truth and we are asserting it and standing in God's never ending supernatural love for us (Heb. 7:25.)
We have put away the rules and regulations that so often we have used to define us and put on Christ instead (Gal. 3:27). He is more to us than the law could ever be. It is God's love for us in His grace that empowers us to live in the Spirit.
We've not only moved into this place we have moved into His position in Christ's righteousness (Rom. 5:17). We are living more and more to the newness of life and the power of His resurrection.
God is saving us from us from our propensity to judge others and ourselves to live in His grace. As we live to His liberty given to us because we are born again, we are presenting the glory of God the way He wanted to be known. We have moved into His Spirit where there is no condemnation, no shame, and no reproach. We are accepted in His acceptance (beloved) and free from accusation always (He will never receive them again against us). In this position we receive the gift of no condemnation and turn and give it to each others.
Our hearts are healing, our attitudes are restored in right believing, and our bodies are standing in God's provided divine health--for by His stripes we were healed (I Pet. 2:24).
This is a safe place rich in God's grace because we see Jesus more and more...(II Cor. 3:18).
