In the Real World, the Church Really Matters


Yesterday began a new chapter at Grace Bible Church Honolulu with our grand opening services. Thankfully, the rain stopped and the weather was beautiful!

Our amazing team of volunteers helped to make everything possible. We had a team in the parking lot, a bouncer and shave ice machine for the children, tents and tables set up outside for food and fellowship, and the cafetorium was nicely decorated. It was exciting to see a great turnout for the next step in our journey as a church—we even ran out of bulletins!

Gregg spoke briefly about the value of church in culture. He taught about the church being, not a building, but a people working together, not individuals doing their own thing.

When we lived in Tennessee, people would say y’all a lot. Even if they were only referring to one person! When referring to a group of people, they would say “all y’all”. God designed the church to be “all y’all” working together to be salt and light in our community. 

Here’s the link to some pictures from yesterday’s services.
