Grace and peace, family.
As we continue walking together through this beautiful season of transition and unification, I want to share my heart with you. Linden Life Fellowship and Kingdom Embassy International are becoming one faith community, and with that comes both a sacred responsibility and a sacred opportunity: the opportunity to build a culture where every person is welcomed, every gift is valued, and one culture alone is centered….Kingdom Culture.
In our new shared spiritual home, you will find room for the richness of many cultural expressions. We bring different backgrounds, different stories, and different lenses. We sing differently, pray differently, process differently. And all of that is good. Scripture calls this “the diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.”
But while diversity is celebrated, our center must be unified.
Our focus must be clear.
Our mission must be anchored in one reality:
Jesus. (His will, His words, and His way).
This is what it means to “endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Not uniform personalities, but a unified purpose. Not identical preferences, but a shared posture. Not fighting for our own comfort, but actively choosing to “esteem others above ourselves” as the apostle Paul exhorts.
As these two congregations merge, I want us to embrace the truth that the Church is not a place where we gather to protect our personal interests, it is a people who gather to pursue God’s interests. We are not simply building a ministry; we are cultivating a Kingdom Embassy, a sacred space where Kingdom citizens can worship, grow, rest, and be formed into the likeness of Christ.
And I want you to know this:
You are cared for. Your story matters. Your voice matters. Your presence matters.
I am deeply honored to serve you, to love you, and to walk with you in this next chapter.
Let’s continue leaning into unity, not as something fragile but as something powerful, something God-breathed, something that makes room for every member to thrive while keeping Christ at the center.
I look forward to partnering with you as we accomplish everything God gives us to do… together.
With love and anticipation,
Dr. Anthony Hendrix
Senior Pastor-Elect
