Ever work on a 1000 piece jig-saw puzzle only to discover a piece missing in the end? How frustrating! No matter how impressive the image, the eye is drawn to the hole in the puzzle. So did you scour the room looking for the missing piece?
The church is like that - when all the pieces aren't in place, the picture is incomplete. God's desire is for all people to be part of His incredible picture.
In fact, Jesus told stories about a sheep-herder leaving his ninety-nine sheep to go look for a single lamb that was lost, and about a women who tore up her whole house looking for one lost coin out of ten. Jesus was saying every sheep, every coin, therefore every person is vitally important to God. He said the kingdom of God was like that. First Saints is a movement of God - a new way of connecting people and churches. Our purpose is to bring as many pieces (people) of the puzzle (our community) together to create a beautiful God-honoring picture of humanity - to help people fit the pieces of their lives together in such a way that they bring honor to God and in the process find meaning and purpose for life.
Do you know where you fit? Do you have a place to belong? Is your life disconnected and lacking direction? We invite you to join with us to help complete the picture that God is assembling. You matter. You belong. Help complete the picture.
