The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came
Beliefs
We were instructed by Christ and organized by the apostles. The recorded example given us is that the community of believers is meant to fellowship. Within the body are many parts. Some are co-creators with God. Their purpose is not to tithe a lot so that the church can build bigger buildings.
Our co-creators create opportunity. Some are administrators, some healers and so on. In it’s totality all needs can be met. The community incubates wealth, arbitrates disagreement, preserves order and provides for the health and well being of the body of believers.
About Me
Hi. I am Patrick Driedger. I am a Community Builder and God has put it on my heart to build a modern version of the Act 2 church. The two key pillars of that look something like this; We create and share in abundance, holding things in common. Which means we share freely of what we have. Second though not necessarily in any order, is holding the belief that the kingdom of heaven is here. That means we are striving to build communities that exist in harmony with the ever present ministering Spirit.
My primary role is to hold out the vision, organize at the highest level, but be, or exist with those new to the vision being held out. That is to say, I’m here to serve you and speak with you and listen to you so that you can find your place and your peace. I am not the leader per se. In the Kingdom of Heaven – our guide for this endeavor, there are those with gifts of administration that we traditionally view as leaders as well as those with gifts of vision such as myself, but ultimately a Kingdom community is by it’s very nature, led by hearts in pursuit of God’s love and God’s direction as provided through Holy Spirit.
