How Sharing Space Gave These Churches a Kingdom Perspective

Written By UBA Staff

What is the "Renewal Pathway?” It's a way for churches to find new life and work together for God's Kingdom in their community.

In this video, Joe Schwenk, Pastor of Baybook Baptist Church, tells how they began to look for ways to bless other congregations with their church building.

The Union Baptist Association connected them with Iglesia Aliento de Vida, a Hispanic church that needed a place to meet.

Juan Rosado, the lead pastor of Iglesia Aliento de Vida, knew the baybrook community and had grown up in the area. They felt God wanted them there.

Watch the video to learn about how these two congregations showed support, respect, and the love of God for one another.

““To me, it was a no-brainer decision. It was kingdom opportunity in front of us; we take advantage of those opportunities. If not, how do I call myself a follwer of Christ?””
— Joe Schwenk
