A lot of the norms and rules are for the staff of the church. For example the Pastor will meet with members of the church for help in many ways, like a death in the family, sickness in the family, couple counseling, children counseling, financial difficult, and more (Pattillo-McCoy, 1998). Now once this happens the Pastor will figure out what person and department he needs to send them to and then that department will take over the issue. Once the chosen department has figured out a way to help the person or family in need they will set up a meeting with the Pastor or Co-Pastor and have then look over the information and give the final say on the situation. My church is also based on culture. Cornerstone Peaceful Bible Baptist Church is a southern Baptist church, which is based in the black culture family and faith is a major part of my culture. Everyone in my family and most of the Black people I know all went to church or dare I say living at church. My sister and I were in the youth chore, youth bible camps, Sunday school then Sunday service, and the list goes on and on (Barnes 2005). My sister and I attended church about 4 days a week due to all the clubs and chores we were in. All of this is seen and lived than Black Baptist …show more content…

The communication networks are many in Cornerstone Peaceful Bible Baptist Church. First you have the face-to-face socializing in church before and after services (informal). My church also throws plays/musical production, banquets, which the normal congregation attends along with others that are invited by family and the church. The Pastor at our church also writes books, creates CD/DVD, and my Pastor is on a local cable channel every Sunday to give the word to those that cannot make it to church (formal). The last type of networking is the missions that some of our member and church staff attends to help the public and spread the word of God to new people. Organizational orientation can be found in every organization and it is not different in my church. There are great people at my church that love their jobs and or motivated to work every day they show up to work. There are those that are satisfied with their job and can handle their peers and supervisor on the day to day base. However everyone cannot handle their jobs or deal with their peers and supervisor in an objected way. I do appreciate when good and bad situation arise that the upper management will award or give great complements to those that are successful in their jobs and to those that need work they tell them behind closed doors what need to be changed so they can be more successful at work also. This is where

It is just not a series of meetings with the laity that the church leadership becomes complete. It is also essential to know that a “congregational life is about balance and the integration of worship, work and witness.” Recently, I happened to attend a church service at a non-denominational mega church. It was not only surprising to see that people belonging to one ethnicity, culture, and language had separated their seating sections, it was more surprising that they hung out with each other for certain events too.

During the civil rights era, the black church stood as a foundation for the African American community. It was a safe haven for those who felt like they didn’t have a voice outside of the church. The black church used to be a political atmosphere especially for those advocating black rights. It gave blacks the pedestal to vocalize the issues in the community and in the world to the oppressed. This was during a time when African Americans received no respect and were placed at the feet of injustice by the American society.

This suggests that one cannot simply find a church location where there will not be any struggle integrating a church. The example of Messiah Fellowship, the small Flipino congregation, faced similar struggles as Brookside Community church, the majority white church which has segregated services. This reveals that people from similar cultures, ethnicities, and socio-economic levels often are drawn to worship communities with people that resemble them. Friendship became a major theme in this book and in many cases people’s close friends did not include much diversity. The authors explain that these friendships often derive from people looking for a church where they fit in.

Introduction On April 15, 1984 six Romanian families that were gathering in their homes to worship and pray, signed the paperwork to establish the Romanian Baptist Church of Portland (RBC Portland). Eighteen years later, the church community grew to 323 members and today we are over 400 members gathering twice every Sunday and on Friday evenings. What makes this tight knit community so intriguing is that it brings together individuals not only of the same religion but also of the same ethnic background. Solidarity, the feeling of inclusion within a group, is incredibly high and with increased solidarity, people become reflections of their community.

The biggest problem in the church house is not gossip and idle talk, its prayerlessness. The church of today must create a culture of prayer for the house of prayer. Some of the ideas that have been implement at Progressive Baptist to recover a culture of prayer. For instance, we peached several series on pray such a “The prayer life of Jesus,” “the prayer life of the early church,” “when the church prays together something will happen” and “the church on its knees, the secret to health”.

We also do not understand if people shape an organization or an organization shapes people. Different people work differently in different situations.
