As I said in my post “Professionalism” a few months ago, one of the things I’m tired of with church is the lack of professionalism. Amy and I have been doing different things church-wise over the last few months, and while it’s been a good time of decompression, I think it’s time to find a church that can fulfill our needs and do so in a reasonably professional manner.

I’m fairly familiar with the churches in the area, and have decided that Overlake Christian Church is the place we need to be at this stage in our lives. They have enough service times, parking spaces, and worship leaders that we finally will not have to worry about any of those things.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about making this shift in my ecclesiology, and have concluded that bigger is better. A church like OCC can achieve economies of scale in ways that smaller churches can’t. It’s the best of both worlds - no wasted resources, and professional services.

I’ll also be relieved to be attending worship services again. God wants us to attend worship services, as 2000 years of church history have clearly shown. It’s humbling to only realize this after so long a journey.

See you at OCC on Sunday. We’ll be in section 3, row M, seats 55 and 56.
