Charlie’s perspective on Wye Parish:  “Our willingness to build a church of substance, wholeness, and mission points us towards the remarkable message of Christianity.   The Holy Spirit is real.  The church was created to be a fellowship of the Holy Spirit.  At our best, we are called to be a community of believers intentionally seeking to know and respond to God’s will for our lives.   Knowing God’s will begins with our turning to Him through Jesus Christ.  He is the focus of discipleship. Growing, changing, maturing, and serving demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit.   So it’s good to ask, “Please be patient. God is not finished with me (or us) yet”.  I can imagine no greater privilege than to be a part of a vision for transformed lives and hearts.    I warmly invite you to share in this vision, as well.”
