Our Visit To Storyline Church in St. Louis.
Jennifer and I drove down to St. Louis in August to deliver the school supplies that we collected in July for this Church Plant "Storyline". Behind us is the lead Planter Josh Wilson. You can find more information about him Josh | NAMB.
They are sharing a building with an established Southern Baptist Church. It was a rather large building. As you can see behind us is part of the stage that the established church uses as their fellowship hall. Storyline uses it for their worship services. I was quite shocked when I heard that the established church had a weekly attendance of 35-40. Josh pointed out to me that this was the way it is with a lot of the churches in the area. They have these big buildings with a few people. As we drove around the area, we noticed a few of the larger church buildings that had changed hands to either a different church or something else altogether.
Josh said that there is a significant multiethnic presence in the area and these churches aren't reaching out to them. Josh and his team are working to plant the kind of churches that will reach out to these unreached groups throughout St. Louis. The school supplies that we brought out to Storyline was going to be used to reach out to the different cultures there. We talked with Josh about future visits and a possible mission trip.
