Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……This is the flyer advertising the fourth pastoral anniversary for Pastor Aaron and First Gentleman Job Jones-Wade. The flyer reads as follows: “I’ve got my eye on the goal, Jesus I am off and running where God is beckoning us onward–to And I am not turning back.” Taken from Philippians 3:12. The service will take place March 9, 2014 at 12 noon with guest speaker Rev. Stacey Edwards-Dunn, Ph. D. Of Trinity United of Christ in Chicago, IL. As I have stated many times before; if you agree or not, like it or not black men are rising up all over the country getting married to other men and starting churches. Many of you that claim to be Christians will find this to be a bitter pill to sallow. Many of you know the more popular couple at the Vision Church of Atlanta where the pastor is Bishop O.C. Allen and First Gentleman Rashad. Marriage, family, and even the church is being redefined right before our very eyes. Now my issue is not the obvious, but so many people accept, tolerate, and in even some cases defend other behaviors that are sin. Additionally, homosexuality seems to make the chief of sinners ready to stand on their soapbox to express their disapproval. Washington, DC is where the Community Church of DC is located and seem to have done well for the past four years. The church seems to be progressive and for the most part they share the core beliefs of most Christians. The nation better get ready because Atlanta, Cincinnati, Washington, DC and the rest of the country because there is no telling who or where will be next.
Last year I posted a clip of the Gay Kappa Wedding and I have been made aware of this new move in church. Amazing that in a day when racism is alive and well like never before we see a new revelation. Secondly, it seems that gay men are stepping up in the strangest of places; Lexington for the Gay Kappa Wedding, Cincinnati for a new black gay church, and the nations Capitol. Atlanta is the deep South and heart of the Bible Belt and the home for a large number of gay black men. In Atlanta it is common for men to approach other men as it is for them to approach women. The world is changing and weather you like it or not no one cares, but you will have to accept it and respect it. Black Gay churches and pastors is nothing new! There are plenty of the all over America, but they are just not out. Some are single and others have a wife (the beard) sitting on the front row dumb and stupid like Alice In Wonderland. Some of these women have got to deaf, blind, dumb, cripple, and crazy to be married to these men. Men that leave the beds of their lawfully wedded wives to lo fill their lustful desire of another man. WOW!
Read what the Community Church of Washington, DC believes below:
Motto
“A Church for All People”
Vision
Our vision is to be an expression of God’s Love in the world. We are an inclusive and diverse church; a place of unconditional love that inspires all individuals in our community. Partnering with the Holy Spirit and the community, we are committed to fighting and eradicating social ills that oppress God’s children, preventing them from experiencing a fulfilled life.
Mission
God calls this church to be a progressive church where individuals realize their power, abilities, and responsibilities to self, community, and God. We are a place that continually seeks to understand God’s word and love. As a Christ-centered ministry, we are an active part of the community; locally and abroad. Our work is to be both priestly and prophetic in all things, showing forth the Love of God, as we facilitate change to bring about the Beloved Community. We are called to be “a chosen people” regardless of socio-economical or educational backgrounds. Our congregation is made up of the educated and the uneducated. We are a combination of the haves and the have not’s; the economically disadvantaged, the under-class, the unemployed and the employable. Those among us have united in Christian love and fellowship to become agents of change for God.

We believe, “effective stewardship creates effective lives!”
We are a tithing church! Each believer has a responsibility to give back to God at least 10% of what God’s given to us, so that others will have.
We are encouraged to GIVE, as we become a blessing to our Church and Community!! We believe in giving back to God through our borrowed time (volunteer), talent (gifts) & treasure (finances) to the storehouse. The bible teaches us the principles of “reaping and sowing” into fertile ground. We invite you to plant your seeds in this ministry through your giving relationship and trust Him to meet you where you’d like Him to elevate you. Learn more here: http://ccwdc.org/give.html
I want to hear from my audience what you have to say about this church and pastor. What are your thoughts of a church with a gay pastor? Would it be easier to deal with a gay pastor that was not married?
