ethos.

I realized a couple days ago that I think the ethos of our church is changing. Ethos is something you can’t teach… at least not overnight… it just becomes who you are. The definition of ethos is “the fundemental character or spirit of a culture.”

Ours is changing. I can feel it.

I think these are a few things that is changing in the ethos of Oakbrook, and I’m crazy excited about it:

… we are becoming a church that worships…
… we are becoming a church that gives, radically, spontaneously and generously…
… we are becoming a church that has a global impact, and has global relationships…
… we are becoming a church that’s more about what’s going on outside the walls then inside…

It’s not comprehensive and we can obviously keep moving and growing… but there have just been moments over the last few months that our church has seriously blown me away.

God is shaping this little community of followers of Jesus in this little town of Kokomo into a movement… I just know it… HE has great things in store for this place, so lucky to be a part…

I pray we lean into what God is doing
