Real Joy Community Fellowship
Pastor's Thoughts
The Lambert Family
Hello, my name is Tony Lambert, and I am the pastor of Real Joy Community Fellowship. We are located at 56 Maple Lane, Chillicothe - right on the corner of Route 23 South and Maple Lane. We planted the fellowship in November of 2008 with about 30 people. We're a member of the Metro Columbus Association of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Our mission is to become the church for the unchurched in South Central Ohio. We are reaching out to people in Ross and Pike Counties since we are conveniently located for both. We came up with the name by our belief. First of all, Jesus Christ is Real. Second, only because of Jesus being in our lives can we have true Joy. Third, with Jesus in our lives we can have Community with God. Fourth, we as Christians have that common bond so that we can have Fellowship together.
My hope is that if you visit with us, you will be able to say what others have said: that they have felt the presence of God here during the service. We strive to be a church that is non-judgmental. We strive to be a church that is transparent. We strive to be a church that lives out our faith. One of my personal beliefs is that the main problem with Christians today is that they say one thing and do another; then they judge everyone else for doing the same thing they are doing. I believe we all need to have Paul's belief that we are "chief of the sinners". We need to look at ourselves, taking our eyes off everyone else and placing them on Christ. That is why I use myself as an example so many times when I am preaching.
Please come visit with us - consider this a personal invitation from me, the Pastor. I hope to see you soon.
