If I were to boil down my library of books to the ones that have made the most difference and the highest impact in my life, there would be a dozen or so. They would cover a variety of subjects, but the most important ones have addressed the deepest issues of the human heart – a heart that is capable of amazing…

What does it look like to love? That is one of the three things we will be focusing on during this next season of ministry along with ‘building inroads to our community’ and ‘giving the ministry away to the people’. I don’t know how that question hits you, but I know how it hits me. One one level the question seems so…
Annual Business Meeting: Sunday, September 11th at 10am Annual Business Meeting… doesn’t sound like much fun does it? …but that is a travesty. The ‘business of the church’ ought to be one of the most compelling and exciting things on the face of the planet. Really, the redemptive work of God in the lives of people should be the most captivating idea…
Town Hall Meetings: August 29th and 30th, 7 pm on the Lower Level of our new building. We invite you and encourage you to join the Elders at one of the two Town Hall Meetings coming up on August 29th (Monday) and 30th (Tuesday). These meeting are designed to both inform you of the important issues our church is facing while also…
In a few weeks we will be celebrating what we have come to affectionately call our Baptism Palooza. It started as a creative way to facilitate baptisms as we were meeting in the temporary confines of Crestview Middle School where it was impossible to do baptisms by immersion in a ‘pool’ of water. Graciously Thomas and Fredda-Lois Loafmann offered their home and…
Next week we will have an opportunity for you to attend our #1 Cornerstone Class: Membership. Our Cornerstone classes are designed to clearly and concisely outline who Quest is (#1), who you are (Cornerstone #2), how you can fit who you are into who Quest is (Cornerstone #3), and how you can be a servant leader in the ministry of Quest (Cornerstone…
Outreach… I don’t know what comes to your mind when you hear the word outreach thrown around in relation to the church and ministry, but I think most people are a little reluctant. Outreach can feel like something you have to do to people you don’t know, concerning something they have not necessarily expressed an interest in, at a time that is…
This summer, we are wrestling with the nature, character and identity of God. It sounds exciting and interesting. It also sounds a bit crazy. How can we, as finite men and women, engage a solid answer to our question of ‘who is He’, an infinite God? That could sound impossible or at best it could seem profoundly difficult to make practical to…
We are all looking forward to this Sunday and the ‘dedication’ of our new home for Quest at 17126 Manchester Road, Wildwood, Missouri. To dedicate means to officially make a place for honoring or remembering a person, event, etc. In a Christian theology and worldview, the place that is dedicated to Christ is most essentially the human heart. That is where He…
In the coming days the gospel will be most clearly and powerfully communicated through us living out our faith with mature Christ-like character. Actions really do speak louder than words. Words without character are simply empty and hollow. In these last few weeks, before we move over to the new property, I want to focus on our maturity and what qualities we…
