Greetings from “The Falls”!

          There are many intriguing things in life that catch my eye, many clever ideas that engage my mind, and many well thought-through presentations that grab my ear.

          But, very few of them, if any, will change my thinking or affect my living.  However, there is one thing that has changed my life drastically—knowing Jesus Christ!

          Apart from a few years of rebellion, I have journeyed with Him for most of my life.  One of my favorite life verses is in Jeremiah 29 and it says, (The Message) “For I know the plans I have for you—plans to take care of you, not to abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.  When you come looking for me, you’ll find me.  Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed, says the Lord.”    God is faithful and because of Him, I enjoy a fulfilled life. 

          God’s promise is true to form—when you get serious with Him, He does make sure you are not disappointed!  When you desire God more than anything, you desire to serve Him anywhere He leads.  My husband Rick, and our three boys, Derrick, Aaron, and Greg moved to Niagara Falls to serve God and the community at Queensway Free Methodist Church . 

          Well, enough about me—you are likely surfing this website to find out whether you want to check us out!  And that is a good question—Why might you want to come to Queensway?  Some people may be attracted to programs or events that may be advertised, which we do have.  But, I feel an even further reason for searching may be the same reason that many of us have for gathering together—a growing desire for God, for more of His truth, for more of His power, for more of His life.  

          As followers of Christ, we seek to partner with one another as we maintain the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, love like Christ loved, and to love without holding back because of the fear of pain or rejection.  We desire together to be a community where we are joined in our faith.

There is so much more of God that we do not yet know!

          I believe in the church.  Many people today don’t because many have been hurt by the church.   To be honest, there is something wrong when the church is meant to be a place of joy, trust and forgiveness, and for many it has become a place of pain, loneliness and rejection. 

          There is something wrong when love, which is meant to be the hallmark of the believer’s life, becomes so very hard to see.  There is something wrong when people are leaving the church to find God. 

          I believe that an authentic community should experience and express the life and love of Jesus Christ.  While I cannot say that we are the perfect church community, I can say confidently, that we recognize our imperfections and desire to experience God together in community life.

          Well, please enjoy searching the rest of our website and we hope to meet you some day soon!

 

Because of His Grace,

 Pastor Jenn
