Evident Grace Particularizes 08/02

Comments 0 Comment

Not only will Evident Grace Fellowship have their first worship service at Courthouse Road Elementary on August 2nd, we will also have our particularization service at Hope Presbyterian (EPC) that evening. What in the world is a particularization service?   By definition, particularization is the process of recognizing something as individual.  Here is what that means for us.  EG was started by New Life in Christ Church, PCA (NLIC) and Hope of Christ Church, PCA (HoC) with the support of…

Evident Grace Moves to Courthouse Road Elementary on 08/02

Evident Grace is excited to announce that we will begin meeting for worship services at Courthouse Road Elementary (CRES) on August 2nd.  Why the move you may ask?  EG’s mission is that God’s grace made evident in our lives enables us to make God’s grace evident to the world.  We do that through our community, our worship, and our service.  Moving to CRES gives us a greater platform and ability to do those things. We have loved our present (and…

3 Resources From Our 43rd General Assembly

3 Resources From Our 43rd General Assembly

Comments 0 Comment

In our last blog post, we looked at why should Ruling and Teaching Elders leaving their churches for a week, travel hours away, and vote on motions and even obscure points of theology each year.  Many of you will never attend General Assembly unless is again return to Virginia (in 2012 it was in Virginia Beach).  Gordon and I don’t want what happens in our denomination to be disconnected from our local expression here in Spotsylvania, VA. To that end…

Easter Celebration at Evident Grace

At Evident Grace, practically every Sunday is Easter as the celebration of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection is key to everything we do. Jesus’ work on the cross ushers us into our relationship with God. Jesus’ work on the cross enables us to understand scripture. Jesus’ work on the cross guides us in our obedience. Jesus’ work on the cross motivates us to love our neighbor. To put it in EG speak: Jesus’ work on the cross builds our community,…

The Art and Grace of Helping Someone Move

The Art and Grace of Helping Someone Move

Comments 0 Comment

When I arrived in Virginia, it was on the heels of several moves. Everyone from a church member to the chief of police helped me get here. When Amy and I finally got into our apartment, so many folks from Evident Grace showed up that I didn’t even know everyone’s name. What I did know was that we were being cared for and that people loved us. There is a unique blessing in helping someone move. Showing up early to…

Pastors gather in Virginia to encourage local support and unity

Pastors gather in Virginia to encourage local support and unity

Comments 0 Comment

In an age of church dissension, arguments, and division, church unity appears to be a distant dream. However, in a moment of hope, dozens of church leaders (members of the Tidewater, Blue Ridge, and James River Presbyteries) spent the earlier portion of this week at the Airfield 4-H Camp in Wakefield, VA. Focusing on updates from church planters and missionaries, the yearly retreat brought in local speakers with stories and exhortations surrounding the theme of “Resilience”. As Leonard Bailey, the…

Comments 0 Comment

Sunday, February 1st, Evident Grace is launching a new sermon series entitled, Definition, a study of the Gospel of John. Why call the study Definition? Well, so many look at Jesus as an example of how to live, and while Jesus is that, He is so much more. You see, the book of John was the last written Gospel, and one of its intentions was to better define who Jesus is. After a generation of believers, people still had a…

This Is How We Do at Evident Grace

This Is How We Do at Evident Grace

Comments 0 Comment

With so many thinking that there is a church on every corner, it is fair to ask why any young church should exist. Because of that, a purposeful church should have a purposeful rationale for its existence. Otherwise, just let some other church do the job. So, in light these truths, Evident Grace launched based upon these verses: Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has been made evident, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and…
