CEDAR CREEK CREEK LIFEBOATS
To model and enable genuine missional communities as demonstrated by the gatherings of believers in the book of Acts, notably Acts 2:42-47. These closely connected but outwardly focused communities demonstrated genuine worship, fellowship, discipleship, prayer, and witness.
ABOUT
Why do we use the lifeboat metaphor? On the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic was on her maiden voyage when she struck an iceberg. There were only lifeboats for half of the 2200 passengers. That night 1500 people perished in the icy waters as all the lifeboats rowed away from the Titanic. All the lifeboats left except one—Lifeboat #14—which rowed back and saved a handful of swimmers. At Cedar Creek Church, we see a small group as a Lifeboat #14 designed to rescue people from loneliness and disconnection from God and bring them into light, warmth and relationships with God and each other. Lifeboat participation has been strongly encouraged and modeled by members of Cedar Creek clergy, staff, and session. Attendees have been welcome and encouraged to share about their hopes, doubts of faith, and missionary calls during these weekly times together.
