Nathan Miller of Christ Community Church an EFCA Church in the Kansas City and Kansas metropolitan area released the statistics from a survey that 1,400 people responded to. The survey dealt with the topic of re-opening in the COVID-19 era.
“Instead of putting others in their place, put yourself in their place.”
Amish Proverb
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:2-4 ESV

This blog has been writing quite a bit about how evangelicals are responding to the COVID-19 situation. This blog focuses quite a bit on the EFCA and I have been writing quite a bit about Christ Community Church in the EFCA’s Midwest District of Kansas and Nebraska. Recently Christ Community Church surveyed its congregation on their thoughts about re-opening. You can read about that in, “Tom Nelson’s Christ Community Church is Surveying its Membership and Attenders About Re-Opening During the COVID-19 Pandemic.” Recently Nathan Miller who is on the senior pastor team released the results of the survey. The numbers are all over the map. Some want to re-open right away while many do not. In the end 1,400 people responded to the survey. What I do notice which I respect about Christ Community is their acknowledgement of those who are vulnerable. Imagine that…a church that actually cares for the vulnerable in the congregation. Honestly that is not something that I see often as I write about evangelicalism. So that is to be commended. As an outsider it will be interesting to watch and observe how this situation develops with the passing of time. Meanwhile you can read the survey results below.
