Rather than Jim coming to us, the pastors and elders get together for monthly meetings in Eden Prairie where Jim is now serving as pastor. Although Jim still visits our churches whenever he can, he has trained other young men in apostolic ministry who travel to the churches on a regular basis. Currently we have 75 folks. The Lord has broadened our base with faithful people. Out of a prayer for one musician, the music ministry has grown to five teams who can lead worship.
Home groups continue to be a strong point of fellowship.
Ministry to children by parents in the home has evolved. Daily morning prayer keeps us focused on Jesus as we serve our community. We keep on being blessed with college students who are taking areas of responsibility in the church. Pat Franey, one of our first college students, stayed on in Morris to raise his family and is serving as an elder. The Morris Community Church exists because of a mandate from the Lord and not to solve the problems in a particular denomination.
