God Still Moves
God moves... in Napa
Earth Shaking, Ground Breaking, Starting and Strengthening
In Scripture God moves; He created the Earth, raised and toppled nations, led His people, accomplished redemption, started the Spirit-born church. God still moves today; His power is immense and immeasurable. It can be verified through a recent earthquake's destruction (picture above; also listen to Pastor John's "When God Makes the Earth Tremble") and by two local churches' construction (picture to the right of CrossWind's new sanctuary with inset of East Valley's ground work for an ed. building). And even more central to our mission and ministry, God moves in starting (see below) and strengthening churches! Tell how you are seeing God move in your ministry.  The first five to share will receive some Star-bucks   ~ David Y.

Dwell Christian Church of San Jose identifies their new Lead Pastor

Chris Tenny, formerly the Discipleship Pastor of Dwell, was overwhelmingly affirmed to be Dwell Christian Church of San Jose's new Lead Pastor. Chris is married to Cassandra, and they have a son, Calvin. Chris became a Christian in college through some friends involved with CRU (Campus Crusade) on the campus of Colorado School of Mines, where he received his undergrad in Electrical Engineering. He worked as a Radio Frequency Engineer for 8 years before completing a Masters of Divinity Degree at Denver Seminary and then becoming a pastor.
