We are now living the day where ‘The Church’ is in a compromising state; when it comes to Godly Standards: Pastors abusing members, members abusing pastors, people bound by programs and traditionalism. The list goes on and on.

Therefore, after visiting a few churches in the area and seeing more of man (mankind) and less of God; we stopped "searching for a church-home".

However, upon receiving a personal invite from one of the leaders at Covenant Community Church, i.e. C-3, and hearing how much of an impact the ministry has had on him and his family, we decided "one more time" to visit a local church. Hence, the experience was great!

Nevertheless, given the current state of today's churches, joining C-3 was not going to be an instant move for us; predicated upon emotions and goose-bumps. Rather, a decision that would involve answers to the following questions:

1. Did we sense the PRESENCE OF GOD?
2. How was the environment?
3. How were we greeted and treated?
4. Who is the Pastor?
5. How is the Pastor's relationship with God?
6. Does the Pastor have integrity outside of the church?
7. Does the Pastor's life-style line-up with the Word of God?
8. Who/How are the members?
9. Was the message seasoned with compassion or compromise?
10. Did we see our family being apart of the ministry?
11. Could we contribute to the vision "of the House"?
12. Was our Spiritual Father in agreement with our decision?

 Final Analysis:
* WE WENT, WE EXPERIENCED, AND WE JOINED!!!
