This week we will shift our “focus” onto Equipping. For many of you that might sound a bit boring… however I will suggest it actually might be one of the most exciting things we could do at this point in life of our church and in your own personal lives. The heart of equipping is to help every person be effective and…
a people in and for the community.
Join us Sunday mornings at 10am at 17126 Manchester Road in Wildwood

As a church, we are facing one of our first really big decisions and, therefore, changes that could (and will) impact the equilibrium of Quest. The possibility of buying the church facility near the intersection of Highway 109 and Old Manchester Road is both exciting and packed with all sorts of potential tension. At some point, we will probably arrive at a…
As we face the last day of 2015 we are also facing the first of 365 days in 2016. As a result we all anticipate what the New Year will bring with it for our lives. There will be situations and circumstances that we could never have anticipated and many times could never have prevented. On the other hand we can also…
The first verse of Christmas song “Let It Snow” goes like this…. Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we’ve no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow Great song…..and couldn’t be any more untrue! Can I give a try at rewriting this for us this year: Oh, the weather outside…
The focus of our Christmas Season (2015) is simply expressed by the word ‘compassion’. It is simple but it is not simplistic. In the midst of our busy-ness, we are faced with profound tragedies all around us that confuse us, frustrate us, anger us and even drive us to despair. But rather than being stuck in our confusion, our frustration, our anger…
Prayer… it may just be the most ignored dimension of our spiritual lives. Let’s face it, for many people, prayer seems like either a waste of time or (at best) a passing effort to exercise faith. Until we recognize that prayer is our heart and gut level response when we recognize the inadequacy of life without God in the picture, it will never be…
The focus this Christmas (2015) will be defined by the phrase, “May the comfort and compassion of Christ fill your season.” During a time of the year when things are so hectic, it is difficult to remember the simplicity and beauty of the fact that God invaded time and space in order to demonstrate His compassion for mankind through, what we call,…
The next few laps of the life of Quest will involve us Gearing Up in four areas of life and ministry. First is the aspect of ‘belonging’, which is a need for every human on planet earth… a place to sit together under the authority of Christ, a place to sit together and care for one another and a place to invite…
In the last three weeks, we have seen from I Corinthians that three aspects of BELONGING are… Embracing the fact that we all ‘sit on the bench rowing together’ as equals under the Lordship of Christ… that He is the only captain of this ship called “the church.” That we all sit on that bench together, arranged and organized by the…
Check-up… that brings to mind a visit to the doctor to do things and talk about things that we would rather not do nor talk about… but it would probably be really good for us. Sometimes a simple test can reveal something really important. What is true of our physical health can be true of our spiritual health as well. That is…
