              “BRICKTOWN…a nickname from the history of brick-making in our village.

              GOSPEL…the message of God’s reconciling love for mankind.

              FELLOWSHIP…a caring community of believers that embraces all people.

How is the church's role like brickmaking?brick.jpg

          For a hundred years leading up to WWII, bricks were produced from  the clay being  excavated along the Hudson River.  As people of faith in  Christ, we are being shaped by the  will of God…we are like clay in His hands.  As each batch of clay was pressed into the molds  for firing, they received the  maker’s name, stamped as a permanent image to be recognized  as a  product of that manufacturer.  Likewise, God’s people are given the “image  of Christ” to  conform to.  We are “called by His name”, ever to be known as  belonging to Him.

          Then there’s the fire!  No brick would be ready for use until it went through the furnace to be made firm, able to support the weight of other bricks.  That fire is symbolic of the tests of faith that are necessary to develop our character and spirituality.  Apart from “fiery trials”, we are unprepared to be used as God’s building blocks which make up His family.  The stability and maturity required of us is a byproduct of the ‘fire’.

           bricks.jpgAt Bricktown Gospel Fellowship, we are committed to becoming solid believers… individuals of godly character and ‘mature’ faith.  We also seek to support others in our fellowship on their journey towards the “image of Christ”.  In this way, we are “bricks” which are being placed alongside other bricks (with the ‘mortar’ of unity) to corporately become “God’s building”.  Our assemblies are characterized by spirited singing, faith-filled prayer, honest relationships, and biblical teaching that is practical and relevant.

 

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.  All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation..."

- 2 Corinthians 5:17,18
