We want to do church well. In this series, SPECTRUM, we will identify unique attributes that when used create a healthy church.
In the same way that the light coming into our sanctuary creates a beautiful gradient of light, when these unique attributes harmonize, they create a fluid connection among all the various components, causing the boundaries between them to fade away.
This is the type of 'Spectrum' we are seeking here at Life Branch Church. So, what are the 8 qualities? What are their unique qualities? And how can we begin to see them connected in such a way as to create a whole?

“Sabbath Rest is our starting point, not our ending point. Sabbath empowers us to be open vessels to be used by God.
