After a great amount of labor and a couple of re-designs, we now have a brand new website that is up and running for the new church… and the name to go along with it!
IKON Christian Community is a community of faith, beauty, and generosity. You can find our new website here: http://ikonsfcom. Be sure to check it out as we move forward towards launch on October 11th!
This month has been a banner month for us here in San Francisco as our small group has multiplied into three! We’re extremely excited about the momentum that we’re beginning to pick up as we move towards our first launch gathering this coming Saturday, March 7th. Be sure to read about some of the things that we’re up to in our new update which is now live on the site.
There are a lot of things that we’re thankful for, and things that God continues to do to surprise us and bring us along. But most of all, we’re thankful for your support, encouragement and your prayers. You truly are a part of the engine that makes this thing go!
Christmas has come and gone and momentum for this new church plant in San Francisco is building as we make new connections here in the city and bring alongside us new financial partners who are enabling us to make this dream of helping people find their way back to God in the city of San Francisco a reality! Our new update is now live on the siteand I want to encourage you to read about all the amazing things God is doing and continues to do in our midst.
We’re so thankful that you continue to check in on us, read about our adventures and continually pray for us and support us. This new church wouldn’t be possible without the help of the church body around the country praying for us and financially enabling us to do this work.
It’s time to introduce you to the newest member of our team, Justin Forsythe! We’re extremely excited to have Justin on the team where he will serve as the director of creative arts for the San Francisco Project. He graduated from Masters Commission where he served under Creative Arts Director and performing artist, Shane Rootes. After his internship at Bellevue Christian Center, Justin became the lead artist for Life Point Church before moving to the western suburbs of Chicago where for three years he served as the Creative Arts Director and the Student Community Director for Community Christian Church, where he met Aaron and Tracy Monts.
Justin’s passions are expressing the love of God he has come to know through the power of music and art. His wife, Shkendie, (pronounced sh-ken-deea) shares this passion and has helped him make successful strides in every avenue of life. His dream for the future is to see the people of San Francisco connected in community and care for one another. He hopes this will lead to an “infection” that spreads worldwide, causing story after story of positive community and life change. Justin and Shkendie also dream of moving to the U.K.
