Brain Knorr

Brain Knorr was a very interesting pastor from Mountaintop ministry. He really knows the dynamic of his area in the way the community works together, and what the community needs. When I walked into class on Tuesday night, and everyone was having fun playing with cups for speed stacking competition. Brain Knorr was smart by bring this companion into the church family center because it took the trouble teens off the street in a place where people care of them and understand what they are going through. He started this to bring kids to the church to ministry to them but then the parents would come to see their kids and get involved with the church. It was right to call it Mountaintop Family Center Church because it really is for the whole family. The tried the outreaching in the community but they found out that it was hard because you don’t form relationship. The church got a great start by people in the community looking for a place to go the church really got start from word of month. They had some problems starting the church because the local school didn’t want them to come into the school so they took it to a legal action and they opened it up for them. The school was a little still against them so they would make it hard for the church to set up on Sunday. They meet the best person in the school the junior was there and he was telling and figuring things out for them before they even come into the school that morning. One thing that Brain knew that the community was very Catholic area so he worked with them, and most of the people come out of the Catholic church down the road so they didn’t know about anything about church service. So he told us that he had to explain everything that they were going to do. Like you can raise your hand and praise the Lord, lay hand on the person next to you and pray for them… things like that. So now they have a small group for reformed Catholics … it been six year and it is became a great church.
