Who Are You?

Bloom is a community of people being part of each others lives; helping, encouraging and learning from one another. They're a little bit different from an average church, and were named as one of the 2010 Firestarter churches. But they warn against the "copy the great stuff we're doing" philosophy.


Instead of trying to be like "every other church that's out there", Luke suggests that churches find their own identity, reflect who they actually are (instead of trying to be someone else).

It strikes me that if this happened, then maybe there'd be a whole bunch of different types of churches - and a greater range of people would be able to discover Jesus.

that doesn’t mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his own gift.
Ephesians 4:7 (Message)
