Church Names

Today, I announced the short list of names for the church. We came down to these 3. Faith Community Alliance, Joy Community Alliance and Loving Grace Alliance. We felt strongly that Alliance should be part of our name since we are part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. There is a poll up on our website for people to submit which name they believe works best for us. The reason we are renaming is as we have looked at our community we see that it is a more traditional community especially when it comes to Christianity. We will be challenged in the coming weeks and months as to how to incorporate things that may be more traditional into what we do without changing who we are and our message. It is important for our church to communicate in ways that our local culture can understand so that they may come to be followers of Jesus Christ. I encourage you to take time in the next few weeks to talk to your friends, relatives and neighbors about our name and have them go online to www.edgechurch.org and take the poll. We need your input to make this change a success.
