The whole body of Christian believers
As we embark on this new adventure, this new local body of believers, I want to constantly keep the above definition in mind. We need to continually remember that it's not about buildings, governmental structure, constitutions, bylaws, denominations, rules, regulations, cultural expectations, styles, preferences or other "models". It's about the people that God is bringing together, to begin a revolution for Christ, right here in the Lehigh Valley. While those other things are all things we may need to deal with and consider. None of them come close to being on the same level of importance as the "people" that are coming together to form NewSpective Church.
It's about helping people, who are far from God, connect with God and Friends. It's about those who already know God to continually live connected to Him and actively help others connect with Him. It's about lives being changed, marriages being restored, families being strengthened, and addictions being broken all because people are authentically Connecting with God and Friends.
Imagine whats going to happen as we focus on this vision and watch what God does.
It's going to be amazing. Not easy, but amazing.

Hello Steven,
You've hit the nail on the head. Our Father's love for us is the coolest thing!!!! Our hearts should be so full so that our actions flow smoothly from it and embrace all those needing it. This is clearly, EVERYONE. Some just don't realize it. Or we allow our fears keep us from reaching out to them. We are all HIS children. And I am a witness to the more we love, the more love we are blessed with.
There is the amazing book I read for my Philosophy class called, Core Christianity, What is it all about? by Elmer Towns. Have you read it? If not, treat yourself and the Newspective family.
It sounds like God is really having a great time in your heart, mind and soul! Keep at it!
May God's Blessing not only shine over you but through you!!!
Dawn
