Relevance. In everything we do, we strive to be real – real about the language we use the clothes we wear, the room we meet in, the music we play. We aren’t interested in presenting a sugar-coated, pretty-as-a-picture church that looks like a painting 50 years ago. We don’t look or sound like the church you grew up in or the one you see on TV. We are flawed. We have problems. We get annoyed at ourselves and each other. We are a group of people struggling with the same issues you face – loneliness, depression, finances, employment problems, family strife, relational tension and dysfunction, and, yes, our own depravity.
So there are a couple of things you may notice about us. There are a lot of people wearing jeans here (or shorts in the summer). There are also quite a few wearing jackets and ties or dresses. We don’t have an organ. We have something that looks a little more like a rock band. We don’t speak in “thee’s” and “thou’s.” We try to use modern English (with a southern accent, of course). We don’t use words like “propitiation” or “theodicy”; we say “God loves you and sent Jesus to tell you that” and ask questions like “how can a good God allow so much suffering?” We don’t sing a lot of songs that are 150 years old; most of our music was written by men and women who are still alive. Each week at FCC is a little different from the one before. Sometimes we do that on purpose; sometimes it just happens. We do have some traditions, but we are not bound to them, we celebrate them. Overall, we’re pretty casual. So, if you have a question, grab one of us and ask it – we’d love to tell you what God is doing here.
