This really is a community church. Many churches promote the idea of acceptance, forgiveness, and discipleship to churchgoers in their sermons and messages. How can I say this without being too cynical? Let’s just say the execution of these ideals by church leadership often falls far short of the example of Christ to the point where their efforts appear mostly self serving justifications for an easy lifestyle. This is not the case at Lynnwood Evangelical Free Church. It really is a place where people find acceptance and forgiveness. Furthermore, it is a place for regular people to truly engage in ministry in ways that are significant. If you want polish and glitz, you won’t find that there. If you want a rock star worship leader and a state of the art main-stage with a couple 20 foot wide hi-def video screen so you can see the pastor better when he speaks and special lighting, this really isn’t the place where your needs are going to be filled. You will get the message of Christ and a community that supports these ideals, which is a much better thing in the end.
