Not Returning to Church After COVID-19?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 29, 2020 by Steve DurkacJuly 29, 2020avatar

I have had at least three conversations in the past two weeks with individuals who have told me that when their church goes back to regular in-person worship services, they will not. All three of these people were from different congregations representing Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, and Nondenominational but all three cited a similar reason as to why they are not planning on returning their church.

Of course, I am glad I didn’t and I am glad we were able to gather and enjoy fellowship together. It still amazes me that we … Continue reading →

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 10, 2017 by Steve DurkacJanuary 10, 2017avatar

A few weeks ago at CrossHope Chapel we were challenged by Steph to pick a word that has meaning for us as we go into a new year. I picked the word “steadfastness” and gave an emotional attempt to share with you the meaning for me. That same day, CrossHope Chapel launched into its seventh year of gathering as a fellowship for the glory of God and growing in grace together. Not particularly a long … Continue reading →
