Welcome - Shalom
2009 The Year of Incarnation
Welcome to our web site. We're so glad you're here! Please feel free to take a look around and learn more about us. If you
have any questions, please utilize one of the many ways to get a hold of one of us.
At Payette Christian
Church, we believe that God's ultimate purpose for this world can be summed up in one word: SHALOM. It's an ancient Hebrew
word, and it means to be restored and renewed- to be made healthy, whole, and complete, at peace with God, others, and your
surroundings. We believe that as followers of Jesus, we have been called to enter into this sacred work of restoration and
renewal- to somehow partner with God in what God is doing.
Do we have it all figured out? Absolutely not. We understand
that this whole idea is a journey, which means that we will always be moving forward into new territory and embracing progress,
innovation, and creativity. Because we are moving ever onward, we expect change will have to occur- outwardly, yes, but most
importantly inwardly.
We sincerely invite you to join us in this journey onto new ground. We can't promise you all the answers, but
we can promise to journey together with you, side by side, as we experience together and partner with God in this mysterious
process called restoration and renewal. Will it take time? Yes. At certain points of the journey, it won't be easy. But we
truly believe that the end result will be so much better than where we started.
