Introducing the new identity of Fountain of Truth Apostolic Church:

With an emphasis on transformation we took a modern, timeless approach to identify the living water that is in us. It begins with a drop. Read more about it on our website. Special thanks to PlainJoe Studios.

“These can all be lived out in a small group setting” •PastorSamuelValverde,InsideFTCBooklet

It was January of 2009. The excitement was in the air. Everything smelled new. Everyone was anticipating our grand opening and last minutes prep-arationswerebeingmade.TheInsideFTCBookletwasarrangedneatlyon the lobby tables and on the bulletin rack. The booklet introduced the Pastoral Core and staff and it laid out our 5 church purposes:

Passion for God – desperate seeking of his presence.Love for People – demonstrated love for othersEquipping Leaders – discovering spiritual gifts Penetrating Evangelism – deliberate sharing of the GospelHealthy Families – duty to keep family wellness.

You’ll notice that I did not quote a bible verse this month; I quoted myself. Forinthatsamebooklet,almostinsmallprintisthephrase:“Thesecanallbe lived out in a small group setting”

What does that mean?BeforeIanswer,letmeremindyouoftwoimportantfunctionalwordsat FTC: CELEBRATION - This is what we do on Sundays.

So,whatdoes:“Thesecanallbelivedoutinasmallgroupsetting”mean?It means that our 5 purposes are not just meant to function at the Sunday’s Celebration.

We can have passion for God at our CLG group.We can demonstrate love for others, at our CLG group.We can equip leaders and be equipped to serve, at our CLG group.We can do penetrating evangelisms, at our CLG group.We can cultivate a healthy family, at our CLG group.
