Surprise Your Few
Clarksburg desires to love our neighbors the same way that Jesus loved his: by demonstrating and announcing that Heaven has come to Earth. It sounds complicated and often leaves us feeling like we don’t know where to start, we aren’t enough to make it happen, or we are being inauthentic to who we actually are. But at Clarksburg, we believe that there is a way we can see the church as a group of ordinary people who are all sent to announce and demonstrate the reign of God through Christ in the places that we live, work, and play, without expecting ourselves to be something that we are not or something less than we should be.

In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ -Luke 10:30-35
