We especially like this encouragement that we find in the Bible:
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in wo
rd or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:15-17)
We think it covers the bases for a church like Pleasant Bay, and we can break it down with the words learn, love, and serve. Not only do we believe that the Bible is God's Word to us and for us, we believe it is relevant. We bring our intellect to church. Our faith not only holds up to our questions, we believe that our faith is strengthened by our tough questions. People at Pleasant Bay are invigorated by thoughtful pursuit of God in our study, relationships, teaching, and even our music. LOVE
God calls us to love... to love Him, His creation, and His creatures. Pleasant Bay is a place characterized by peace... peace with God because of the salvation Jesus provides, and peace with people because of the work Jesus is doing in us and through us. SERVE
We want to be whatever people... doing whatever we do all in the name of Jesus. We do a lot together to serve within our church, but it is more than that. We are motivated to see how we can connect God's work with all of our work. We invite you to join us. Come and check us out on a Sunday morning.
