There are so many opinions out there about churches, both good or bad.  Out of curiosity, in an ideal setting what do you think church should look like?  What characteristics, ministry, etc…do you dream of seeing in a church?

Tell me what you think works or would work below in the comments.  (Leave out the things you wouldn’t do).

People don’t have a problem with Jesus….they have a problem with Christians. Even more so, they have a problem with the Church.

Why? Somewhere along the way we’ve missed the point.

Salvation has become more about getting out of hell
rather than God transforming every area of our lives.
We’ve replaced serving others with serving the church.
We’ve become more concerned about the church
than we are about the Kingdom.

I think it’s time for a shift.

Thoughts?
