What’s Next? Damascus Community Church is actually a wide array of ministries, from worship to Sunday and daily Christian education (Damascus Christian School), from local to international outreach, all with the common mission to call people to follow Jesus and become like him. Recently we connected with the organization Influencing Generations For Christ to... READ MORE >
The “house for God” (Temple) was of value because of the presence of God and fulfillment of promises He made to His people. But these were contingent: “…if you will walk in My statutes and obey My rules and keep all My commandments and walk in them…” (1 Kings 6:12-13). We have no interest in a building that lacks God’s presence and promise—pray... READ MORE >
Discipleship fulfills the “great commission”, and the DCC mission as we have stated it “to call people to follow Jesus and become like Him.” Many of the ministries we have engaged in for discipleship—Sunday School and Community Groups, Bible Studies, DCS, and so on—are “facilities-dependent.” Persuaded by maintenance and space needs, we believe it is...

Hey all, Jeff Miller will be leading this song at our What's Next event on October 25. We will start singing it this Sunday. Give it a listen. READ MORE >
In Luke 19 Jesus told a parable to the crowds who were thinking “the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.” The master said to his servants, “Engage in business until I come” (19:13). As our Lord instructed, we pray for the kingdom of God to come to earth (Matthew 6:10), but while we wait we are to be faithful “engaging” in business for our Master and... READ MORE >

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you” (1 Chronicles 28:20). We might anticipate as David did these “project killers”—fear and discouragement. Like Solomon we need guidance as well as courage from the Lord in pursuing growth in ministry, with the development of necessary tools to facilitate it. Pray the Lord will grant us... READ MORE >
“David summoned all the officials of Israel to assemble at Jerusalem…” (1 Chronicles 28:1). He had made preparations, appointed leaders, and called them together for an update on the process toward building the temple--sort of a “What’s Next?” You are hereby summoned for the DCC “What’s Next”, October 25, 7-8:30 in the gym. More details to come but... READ MORE >
In 1 Chronicles 28:8 David charges the appointed leaders, in anticipation of building the temple, “…observe and seek out all the commands of the LORD your God…”. That is, they (and we) need to commit to obedience beyond building, as we plan for building beyond our apparent ability, acknowledging our need for God’s help! READ MORE >

It is very interesting that after David recounts what he has done to ready resources for the building of the Temple (1 Chronicles 22), the next thing he does (chapters 23-27) is organize the leadership that will build and continue service to the Lord! We are officially appointing new elders today and seek others to step into the roles of ministry leadership... READ MORE >

“I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the LORD…” (1 Chronicles 22:14). Once again, we see David sacrificially doing what he can to make sure all the resources are supplied to build a temple he will never personally worship in! Why give for a building yet to be, one I will never see? To facilitate ministry after me, continuing until... READ MORE >
“I will not…sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing” (1 Chronicles 21:24). As God brought David to build an altar at the future site of the temple (2 Chron. 3:1), David was offered provision for land and sacrificial animals for free! He refused, insisting on participation in the cost involved. What a challenge to the hearts of all who would worship! READ MORE >
“But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel” (Psalm 106:13). See the error of God’s people in two directions: Neglecting the evidence of his past provision and failing to wait for his direction regarding the future. Pray we will learn from the mistakes of the past, not to repeat them. READ MORE >

“Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel” (1 Chronicles 22:13, NIV). As David charged Solomon with the building of the Temple, he linked success to obedience.
