The New www.blueprintchurch.org

Welcome to the new Blueprint Church website. We’ve been hard at work for the last few months developing this new web space with you in mind. Our goal was simple: to create a website that shows who we are as a church and what we do. Blueprint is a church that is all about the family of God sharing life together. We exist to see the Gospel of Christ change people and to equip and unleash those people to impact others in the same way. So, this website is built around those 2 aims. We wish to feature the personal stories of change that God is writing in the lives of our family. We wish also to give you resources and inspiration to be similar vessels in your own context.

The New Urban and An Old Problem

We are in a new day. With growing urbanization in the United States, we need to prepare leaders for the next generation. It will look like something we have yet to see.

America is changing, and it is changing fast. Urban is no longer limited to the inner city. Urban defines any area that is dense with population and diverse because of the density. It is in this day that living in a city means having neighbors who don’t look like you and are not even in the same socio economic status as you. Statistics show that by the year 2042, minorities will be the new majority in America. By 2023 – only about a decade away – it is said that more minority babies will be born in America than Caucasian babies. These stats are showing that America is certainly changing, and it’s going to look very different, very soon. Read more →

Missing God

So over the course of the past few weeks, I’ve been on this journey of sorts to get to the bottom of a lot of what’s going on inside of me.  For those of you that aren’t in my immediate circle, or haven’t had the chance to talk to me (or frankly we’ve never had a conversation in real life), you would know that I’ve been on a kick where I’ve been referring to myself as the “tin man” (you know, the guy from the wizard of Oz that didn’t have a “heart”).

Praying for Emptiness

I do this on a consistent basis, and I think that you do too.  Think about it   -what happens when you experience a disappointment or a series of disappointments? Maybe you’ve been trying for three of the four years of your marriage to get pregnant with no luck. Perhaps you’re getting out of a relationship with someone that you’ve loved, lost a family member, or you fill in the blank with whatever is causing you the most pain, frustration or restlessness.  When we experience this sense of loss or this longing for peace what do we do (or better yet…what should we do)?
