LCA Story of the Week:
Change is not an option – it is life in God’s kingdom. Pastor Adrian Kitson says that not only is change possible for a local church, but it is also always needed in congregational settings. ‘Change does not need to be feared’, he says. ‘Change is God’s people responding to the opportunities God gives us.’
