PASTOR LETTER

Welcome!

God loves you! Really... hard to believe sometimes, right? Sometimes it is hard for me to believe as well. Over and over, again, however God find a ways to show great love!

 

My ministry with the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ has led me to a place where I embrace bringing all ages and learning styles together in worship. I love that technology lets us reach beyond our doors and share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
 

ICC seeks to make faithful changes in a current world. These changes come with finding ways to really learn and engage in the biblical story, finding creative ways to respond in prayer, and prayerful ways to respond online.
 

I would love if you would come join in this journey with us, if this is a place that you are called.

 

Here is what I want you know about the church. They are little, but they are mighty. They have a passion to serve their community. They come with lots of different viewpoints on faith, but a united love for all of God's people and creation.

 

All of us are on a faith journey. It comes with lots of questions, and Independence is working together to respond to those tough questions in faithful ways. We are not perfect, we are not big, but we are God's people.

 

If you have questions and want to journey with us, please not only take time to look around our website and connections, but take time to come in our doors.

 

Coming in, however, is only the first step to going back out to serve God's world.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rev. Dr. Olivia Bryan Updegrove, Pastor at Independence Christian Church
