Having accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and recognizing that certain duties can be performed best in a fellowship, we covenant to walk together as members of Christ’s Church Brotherly Love. We believe it to be the mission of the Brotherly Love to proclaim His Gospel to all mankind and to strive for the realization of the Kingdom of God.

A Word From Pastor Wendell & Diane Thompson

2026 Theme 

“Moving From Conforming to Transforming” 

Scripture Text: Romans 12:1-2 

 

As we enter 2026 our encouragement continues to build upon the firm foundation of Christ Jesus. 

It is vital to a Victorious walk in Christ that one knows the truth that “Moving from Conforming to

this world system to Transforming our minds is paramount for the Believer." After all He is the stone that the builders rejected, but He is the Rock we Believers received as the Chief Corner stone of our salvation.  So, with the Cornerstone in place we continue to add all the materials needed to build a

Temple fit for the Holy Spirit to dwell.  After all we are called the temple of the Holy Spirit.  So, what

will we add to the firm foundation of Christ Jesus this year?  We will lay bricks of: 

 

  • Corporate Prayer                              Luke 18:1 
  • Corporate Bible Study                     2 Timothy 2:15 
  • Corporate Fellowship                       Hebrews 10:25 
  • Devotional Readings                         Joshua 1:6-9 
  • Develop our Gifts                              Romans 12; 1 Cor. 12 
  • Corporate Outreach                         Matthew 28:18-20 
  • Increase Giving                                  2 Cor. 9:5-15 
  • Walk in the Spirit                              Gal.5:22-26 

 

If we commit to doing this spiritual transforming plan, we will be a strong Church Kingdom family

for God and our light will shine in this dark evil world that is bent on destroying everything representing Christ Jesus. Well, the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church the Body of

Christ the Bride that is waiting for the Bridegroom.   

 

The transforming plan through God's Word has been approved and handed out to the Believer.

So, now it’s up to you to study to show yourself approved of God a worker that need not be ashamed. Are you ready to be Transformed?  If so, let’s get started.
