What
is Wayfarer?
Wayfarer
Community Church is a new congregation that God is building
in the Caledonia Township area. We are a daughter congregation
of Corinth
Reformed Church in Byron Center and we feel called
by God to be part of something new He is doing.
We believe
that God wants to create a special and unique kind of church
to reach out to this growing area, and that simply doing "church
as usual" won't cut it. Our mission is as follows:
Mission
Statement:
"..to
share the adventure of becoming like Jesus
with thousands of our friends, neighbors, and family."
That's
what we're all about - finding the Way together! Jesus has
the power to transform our lives and to give us the direction,
meaning, and fulfillment we seek but so rarely find in the
midst of the daily grind.
We
want to enjoy him and each other more, and to find new ways
to let others know the good news that God loves them, has
a unique plan for their lives, and invites them into adventure!
What
is Wayfarer like?
We believe
that the key to fulfilling our mission is to keep living out
our values. In other words, the things that matter most to
us should show through in all that we do. Here are some of
the priorities you can expect to see lived out at Wayfarer:
Core
Values:
|
Authenticity
-
|
Whether
in worship, relationships, preaching, or family life,
we place a high priority on transparency, sincerity, and
truth-telling. |
|
Intimacy
-
|
We
seek to establish and nurture relationships with God and
one another that are deep, rewarding, loving, and committed. |
|
Balance
-
|
We
seek the balanced, well-rounded lives God designed us
to live, and will learn to honor him through biblical
management of our time, our resources, our relationships,
and ourselves. |
|
Transformation
-
|
We
strive to become lifelong learners and increasingly committed
followers of Jesus Christ, seeking out transforming encounters
with him, his Word, and his people. |
|
Uniqueness
-
|
We
have a high regard for the unique way in which God has
created each individual person, and for the special spiritual
gifts he gives each Christian; therefore, we work at becoming
the people he has created us to be and at developing the
gifts he gives us for service. |
|
Reproduction
-
|
Since
all healthy organisms reproduce, we believe that every
believer should produce other believers, every leader
other leaders, and every church other churches. |
How
can I find out more?
The best
way to find out more is to come visit
us at one of our services or events. A schedule of our
meeting times and locations is always available online! You can also check out our FAQ's and our Statement of Faith pages.
At these
times, you can check us out first hand, meet some of the people
God has led here so far, sing great songs with a contemporary
worship band, and learn practical things from the Bible that
God will use to bless you and your family.
If you
have any specific questions, or would like to get involved
in our ministry, feel free to contact
us or pastor Josh
Blunt at any time.
