Hello! I'm Pastor Barry Perez, Lead Pastor at New Covenant Church in Thomasville, GA. I've been serving New Covenant Church since February of 2002.
I want to use this page to share with you my vision and passions for ministry to the Lord and to the church.
Check back regulary for updated articles and pertinent information.
Last Sunday's message (Mark 1:21-39) revealed a strategy for Jesus' MISSION. He ministered in the Synogogue (the HOUSE of Worship) and from there He went to Simon's HOME where the whole city gathered at the door. After Jesus retreated for a time of prayer, Simon found Him and said, "everyone is looking for you". Jesus responded, "Let us go into the next town (HIGHWAYS) that I may preach there also, because for this PURPOSE I have come".
The Lord laid out a specific MISSION that He followed and He gave to us a GREAT CO-MISSION. He is calling us to see all of life as a way to be engaged with God and a mission in the world.
Something is powerfully changing in our midst. Through "treasure hunting", we are discovering that church is more than a place to just go and join. It's a great place to gather for equipping and edification. But the church is who we are wherever we go. It means we are "missional" people.
Let's continue to adjust our thinking and behavior in order to make the shift from THE HOUSE, to our HOMES, to the HIGHWAYS. It means that our focus will be inside out; internal to external; from inside the fort to an outside force!
Loving you real good,
Pastor Barry
The House, Homes, and Highways
