Is Jesus alive in this place?

Not our verdict. The witness of the family who have worshiped here.

No one has borne witness yet. If you have worshiped here, be the first to testify whether you found Jesus present and alive in this place. Add your witness.

This is the personal witness of the people who have worshiped here, not Living Bread’s judgment and not a measure of God’s presence. “Test everything; hold fast what is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21) “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” (Matthew 7:16) Read, visit, and discern with the Spirit’s help.

You did not find this page by accident.

It is a strange thing, to go looking for a church. Something in you is reaching for more than a building or a service time, more than religion. Scripture says that longing is not random: it is the quiet drawing of a God who has been seeking you far longer than you have been seeking Him. You are not so much looking for God as answering Someone who called you first. Whatever brought you here, curiosity or grief or hope or exhaustion, take it seriously. It may be the most important pull of your life.

“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him.”John 6:44

How to come to ChristMeet JesusLearn to pray

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another.”Hebrews 10:25

We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. A church is simply the family He gives you for the road.
