Greetings!
Recently, we invited you to hang out with us at Louisiana Cafe on March 1st at 6:00 to discuss a Mosaic West Campus. We hope you can make it! We hope this e-mail will help you get a feel for Mosaic. There's no NEED to go through all of this, but we wanted to make some info easily available to you. Most of this and more can be found at MosaicStLouis.com. We hope to see you soon! Shane Adkisson |
A Simple Idea
|

Life is so complex. We're overwhelmed by our schedules, bombarded by
advertising, under pressure at work and trying to figure out how to
pick up our pace to do more.
Simplicity rules.
Have you noticed? Whether you're talking about clothing design, architecture or business. The more simple, the better.
Google strives to have forty words or less on their webpage.
Papa John's has built a pizza empire on "Better ingredients. Better pizza. Papa John's."
Southwest airlines has succeeded through having a very simple
process. There are no seat numbers. You just have groups. There are
no fancy trappings. Southwest doesn't have hubs. When you fly, you
always fly the shortest distance.
Apple has also done well with simple design. Have you noticed how
many buttons are on an ipod or how simple their design and advertising
is?
We've been asking ourselves, what's that mean for church? Can church have a simple design?
After a lot of consideration, discussion and prayer, we came to the conclusion that the answer is yes.
Mosaic has bought into the simple concept. As a church, we're striving to do three things:
-
Love God.
-
Love People.
-
Serve the World.
Pretty simple, huh?

 The church exists because of mission.
Relevance to culture is not optional.
Church structure and life submit to scripture.
We embrace creativity.
Love is the context for ministry and life.
The natural organizational structure of the church is relationships.
