Who We Are
We are a non-denominational, Spirit-filled,
teaching ministry. We are people that are hungry for God's best, and we are
willing to abandon all that we thought we knew to grab hold of the truth of the
Word of God.
We are a very close, fun loving family. We enjoy sports, love music of all
kinds, and, wherever we go, we radiate the love of God and love for one another.
Visitors always testify that they can feel the love of God in our midst when
they come. Our congregation is from many different economic, racial, social, and
denominational backgrounds...but we are one in the Lord.
What You Can Expect When
You Come to Church
- A typical Sunday at Shekinah starts with
Teacher and Pastor Ron Crenshaw addressing the congregation about current
issues pertaining to the life of the ministry.
- After this, we praise and worship the Lord
with our whole hearts. We believe in making a joyful noise unto the Lord, and
we do so with the piano/keyboard, bass guitar, saxophone, drums, congas, and a
team of praise and worship song leaders. After the regularly scheduled songs
are over, we take the time to sing with our spirits and worship the Lord
freestyle.
- This leads into a time of prayer and often an
outpouring of the Holy Spirit on those who step forward to receive. This is
always very exciting.
- Next we break for a 30 minute lunch, and then
reassemble for the teaching session. As stated above, we are a teaching
ministry; therefore, questions and comments from the congregation are
welcomed. We are in the School of the Spirit here. After the regular planned
lesson, Pastor is open to answer questions on any topic; potpourri questions.
Here is your chance to ask that question that you've always wondered about.
- During this time, children are in Sunday
School and have fun and exciting agendas of their own.
- After the teaching, we hear “praise reports”
from the congregation during a time of sharing. It is often encouraging
hearing how God worked in the lives of others and can do the same in your own
life, since He is not a respector of persons.
- In closing the official worship day, we hear
announcements of upcoming events, and then Pastor Ron closes in prayer.
- It's not over yet, though! Next we prepare to
celebrate the Lord's Communion together (every Sunday). It consists of a
full-course meal where we sit with our brethren and sistren and fellowship.
- After communion, Pastor Ron and the Elders are
available for individual counseling
