This one came up a few times while we were getting ready for our launch as Centre Church. A few comments on social media, I saw it and in some ways I get it. There are a TON of churches in Red Deer. Like, an unusually high number. But it’s a little bit of a strange question actually, as if we’re only supposed to have one church in each city or something. https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/qotw-2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fb513ee21ed965bc730ba1/300100f2-ecf0-4f17-b247-57cbdbfd3364/Question+of+the+week++%283%29+%281%29.png Blog - Question of the Week #2: What is the leadership structure of Centre Church? That’s a huge question like WHO’S IN CHARGE? Is it a democracy? A one-man show? What about accountability? Those are all really crucial questions. Let’s be clear: GOD leads the church. Jesus is the head of the Church. Any leaders are stewards of what God is doing. With that in mind, Centre Church is primarily led by a team of what the Bible calls Elders – which basically means that spiritually mature leaders who are called by God, recognized as having that calling by others, and set apart to lead, teach, protect, and guide the church are put into place. Elders are not voted in, but they’re recognized by other elders. What perhaps sets us apart is that we don’t funciton like a traditional board where people are voted in for a term. We believe eldership is permanent until you either step down or are asked to step down, leave the church, or pass away. https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/qotw-1 monthly 0.5 2025-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fb513ee21ed965bc730ba1/9af24351-af36-421d-9bf8-34d1f977b573/Question+of+the+week++%282%29+%281%29.png Blog - Question of the Week #1: What kind of church is Centre Church? That’s a really big question! It’s a bit like asking what it means to be a dual citizen of the UK and Canada – there’s SO MUCH THERE. But we can probably summarize it like this: Centre Church is what we call a Word and Spirit church. In other words, we believe that the Bible is 100% true, trustworthy, and still transformative for us today. https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/seeds-evangelism-framework-part-4-8xb5x monthly 0.5 2025-03-24 https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/seeds-evangelism-framework-part-4 monthly 0.5 2025-07-14 https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/seeds-evangelism-framework-part-3 monthly 0.5 2025-02-03 https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/seeds-evangelism-framework-part-2 monthly 0.5 2025-01-28 https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/seeds-evangelism-framework-part-1 monthly 0.5 2025-01-10 https://www.wearecentrechurch.ca/blog/4-books-to-navigate-technology monthly 0.5 2025-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fb513ee21ed965bc730ba1/79bae8fb-0b02-46d2-acb9-fb0a73f9ed16/12+Ways+Your+Phone.jpg Blog - 4 Books to Help You Navigate Technology and Faith Before you text, tweet, or publish digital art online, honestly ask yourself: Will this ultimately glorify me or God? Will this stir or muffle healthy affections for Christ? Will this merely document that I know something that others don’t? Will this misrepresent me or is it authentic? Will this potentially breed jealousy in others? Will this fortify unity or stir up unnecessary division? Will this build up or tear down? Will this heap guilt or relieve it? Will this fuel lust for sin or warn against it? Will this overpromise and instill false hopes in others?

We decided that the real world was so full of dangers that children should not be allowed to explore it without adult supervision, even though the risks to children from crime, violence, drunk drivers, and most other sources have dropped steeply since the 1990s. At the same time, it seemed like too much of a bother to design and require age-appropriate guardrails for kids online, so we left children free to wander through the Wild West of the virtual world, where threats to children abounded.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fb513ee21ed965bc730ba1/a3f29952-2d03-4149-a533-99a7031f39f7/Seculosity.jpg Blog - 4 Books to Help You Navigate Technology and Faith - “The objects of our seculosity—food, romance, education, children, technology, and so on—aren’t somehow bad. Quite the opposite—they are by and large great. It’s only when we lean on these things for enoughness, when we co-opt them for our self-justification or make them into arbiters of salvation itself, that they turn toxic.” Which is why I am proposing a fresh term: seculosity. I’m using it as a catchall for religiosity that’s directed horizontally rather than vertically, at earthly rather than heavenly objects.

The question is whether those choices are leading us to the life we actually want. I want a life of conversation and friendship, not distraction and entertainment; but every day, many times a day, I’m nudged in the wrong direction. One key part of the art of living faithfully with technology is setting up better nudges for ourselves.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66fb513ee21ed965bc730ba1/d1b4a18b-3773-4741-bcb0-02fccdb310fa/The+Wisdom+Pyramid.jpg Blog - 4 Books to Help You Navigate Technology and Faith - “In the competitive landscape of the digital age, the “food” of information is not getting more nutritious; it’s veering in the direction of junk food. Doritos and Skittles will always get more clicks than spinach. And so we walk down the buffet line of social media snacks and online junk food, daily gorging ourselves to the point of gluttony. Unsurprisingly, it is making us sick.” We need a diet comprised of lasting, reliable sources of wisdom rather than the fleeting, untrustworthy information that bombards us today; a diet heavy on what fosters wisdom and low on what fosters folly. (Location 145) We must examine our daily diet of knowledge intake. It can be nutritious, making us wise and shrewd, more able to ward off intellectual infections and spiritual afflictions. But it can also be toxic, making us unwise and more susceptible to the lies and snares of our age.
