Joy and Exaltation!! I have finally settled on a name for the church plant. It is LifeTree Church. I think this name is significant because of what it conveys. First, our mission is to transform lives and equip families for living a biblical lifestyle. In essence, we journey through life together (we also offer God's gift eternal life through the Jesus Christ (Romans 6:23). Second, tree has many meanings. One picture that comes to mind is the Family Tree. This denotes the family nature of the church. At LifeTree Church, each family is a branch. Each branch is to grow, flower, and produce seeds, which will in turn develop new trees.

Furthermore, one of my favorite Psalms is psalm 1. In which verse 3 says:

He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.

Anyways, it is short and conveys a lot of what the church is. So I like it.
