History
It all started 24 years ago...
There was quite a stir in Medford when we announced we were purchasing the former Medford Farms Liquor and Deli and converting it into a Church!
Jokes abounded and newspapers wanted the scoop.
This beautiful 25,000 sq. ft. building houses our sanctuary, classrooms, nursery and multiple offices. Situated on 20 beautiful acres on Old Marlton Pike in Medford, it also incorporates the Come Alive! International Headquarters and several acres of farmland with a creek and pond. The building is a parable in itself of God's transforming power.
We all know that the Church is not a building. The Church is really people who have believed and confessed in faith that Jesus is Lord. Whenever those individuals gather together in the Name of Jesus, Church is in session.
Our name simply denotes what God has done through Christ in the believer's life. Before knowing Christ the Bible says we are "dead in our trespasses and sins" but when we come to personal faith in Christ as Lord, He makes us alive in Him! Ephesians 2:5 states, "...even when we were dead in our transgressions, (God) made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)." It is one thing to exist physically, it is another dimension to be alive physically and spiritually. God calls all people to Come Alive through Christ.
We are here to serve. Yes, we have a building... but the real Church is people committed to Christ. People just like yourself with all kinds of responsibilities, but people with a common statement of faith that "Jesus Is Lord." If we can be of help in your spiritual journey in any way please feel free to call or email us ... or come to visit on Sunday Mornings, We would consider it an honor!
