About

The idea of the Glocal Church blog came from Rich Smith. Rich is Minister of Discipleship in an emerging “Glocal Church” in the metro St. Louis, MO area. His passion in ministry is to equip the church body to go and make disciples, from across the street, to around the world, and to help believers grow in their relationship with Christ.  As he continues to grow in his understanding of scripture, and the way in which the New Testament church today should function, the concept of the Glocal Church best fits the mold, as set by the early church. The ministry and mission of the early church was recorded in the book of Acts, whom most scholars believe was authored by Luke.

    LOOK LIKE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE WORD OUT! THE STATEMENT “THE GLOBAL-FOCUSED CHURCH WHOSE MISSION BEGINS LOCALLY” PRETTY WELL SAYS IT AS IT SHOULD BE.
    I’LL LOOK FORWARD TO MORE!

    BLESSINGS,
    CARL

    Rich- So glad to see that you have opened this avenue to expand your Ministry of Discipleship.
    Further, the term Glocal seems most approperate
    in denoting its scope.

    Blessings to you and your ministry.

    Thanks for your kind words Uncle Sonny. I always appreciate your somewhat differing perspective. It helps keep my lens clear to the ways of the Holy Spirit!
