Is the Altar used in your church & is it used regularly?

Acts20.com NEW Acts-Celerate

Just curious – if you’re a pastor do you make altar calls at each service?If you’re not a pastor does your church offer altar calls?Just curious & no ill motivation for the querry.We have an altar call at virtually every service here at FCC & I don’t think we would ever want to get away from them.They’re precious to me & our FCC families & to those who seek God.After reading statistics over the last few days about church issues it seems I hear a re-occurring comment that goes like this, ‘we used to have altar calls but now we have a special room for people who want to pray before or after church.’I like prayer in the altars down front where everybody can see it.I don’t want to change the culture of FCC to accomodate the trends.I see results in the altars all the time.Some of my best memories & ministry experiences have happened in the altar.It doesn’t have to be a long wooden piece of furniture; maybe it’s simply the area up in the front near the pulpit, but it’s a place where we come foreard to seek fellowship with God collectively & corporately.God has spoken to my heart for months about illustrating, offering, teaching & preaching about prayer.We have prayer all the time & we pray about everything.Our altars areas at FCC are known to be a place to seek God in prayer & it’s amazing how many visitors make positive comments about our altar calls & invitations to pray.I really hope you use your altars as often as possible so another generation gets used to the idea of seeking God at the altar________________Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing …introducing people to Jesus!

  1. It was solidarity with all races in the name of Jesus. He just wants to keep criticizing something he knows nothing about. Right now he is busy trolling kids on a Lee page. He needs to get a life already.

  2. Lillian Kinsey, the first Matron, left Pell City, after establishing the Church of God here to work at the Home for Children.

  3. I have not yet seen the link but I can assure you the Church of God does not believe in abortion, all you have to do is look it up and you can see the what we believe in

  4. It is a interesting article but it is about the peoples view not the statistics of the church denominations. We all know people have the right to believe as they please and so do denominations that does not make everything right . We are all learning and growing in God each day . I get my believe from the Bible not the church

  5. No! The Church of God Cleveland, TN clearly stands for the Sanctity of Life. There is a section in our Statement of Faith.

  6. That’s ridiculous! Jesus stated it’s better to have a millstone hung around your beck and cast into the see then to hurt one of these little ones.

  7. Charles Page do you research the articles before you post them ? so you have answers for questions?

  8. I’m pro life. All around. From birth to the death penalty. Especially for those struggling with addictions that can kill them.
