Questions & Answers

Here are some answers to common questions.

What are we passionate about?  Jesus!  We love to worship him and to tell others about him. Once, Jesus said if we don’t praise him the rocks will cry out. He deserves our praise and we want to give it, no rock will get our blessing. Hand in hand with passionate worship comes passionate serving. I John 4:20 says we can’t say we love God whom we have not seen if we don’t love our brother that we have seen. Trading Ford loves and ministers to those who are hurting and searching for hope. It all comes down to loving God and loving people. That is what we are passionate about. 

Jesus has called us to be Salt and Light in this broken world. At Trading Ford, we know we are called to be focused outward, not inward. That means community outreach for us is a big deal. Individually, we as believers, are the church in the community, Jesus’s hands and feet, showing his love. We remind ourselves continually that Jesus has called every believer to be a witness. Some ministries that God has used to reach out to our community would include our food and clothing pantry, community missions and Celebrate Recovery, where people in our community find help for hurts, habits and hangups. Also, through the years, one of our favorite ways to reach out to our community is through Vacation Bible School. Through these and other programs our heart shines through- Trading Ford exists to help hurting people fine forgiveness and purpose through Jesus Christ.
