Thomas and Kimberly Law: A Common Vision

In 2007 and 2008 Kimberly and I began sensing God's calling to start a new church in the Fort Worth area.  We had lived in this area for 5 years and attended a local church but felt that God was calling us to a different journey.  We felt that our journey would be one focused on the body of believers and the communities and neighborhoods in which they lived.  So, we began to pray about this calling - what it meant and how it would look.  Shortly after this, in a visit with Steve, we learned that he was sensing the same thing - the calling to start a church in Fort Worth.  For the next several months - almost a year - we visited with Steve and Joy, prayed a lot and waited to see if this was something God really wanted us to do.  Steve had many commitments in Kaufman and he had other opportunities of ministry (many of which would provide a comfortable living for his family).  Starting a church would be a huge step of faith for him as a pastor, husband and father.  It was a difficult transition for our family as well, we were leaving a church family where we were involved and supported to a church plant of 15 people.

Over the last 18 months we have seen God work in people's lives.  He has restored marriages, He has brought people back to the church, He has opened hearts to new ministries, He has created a body of believers that serves in communities and neighborhoods in which they live.

Our biggest blessing has been serving in our local community with our brothers and sisters from the church.  It is a church that loves the Lord (and His word), that loves people and that wants to bring the two together.My prayer is that God bless us with leaders who will share our vision for the church and partner with us in that journey.
