I became acquainted with Mosaic in 2003. It intrigued me enough to read all the books by Erwin McManus, the lead pastor for Mosaic LA. I learned very quickly that Erwin was no ordinary pastor and that Mosaic was no ordinary church. I was hooked.
What is Mosaic?
In a word, it is a community. From the Mosaic LA Web site:
We are a community of followers of Jesus Christ, committed to live by faith, to be known by love, and to be a voice of hope. The name of our community comes from the diversity of our members and from the symbolism of a broken and fragmented humanity which can become a work of beauty under the artful hands of God. We welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey. Come to Mosaic, and discover how all the pieces can fit together!
There Are Lots of Mosaics
Mosaic LA is not the only Mosaic community. There are Mosaic communities sprinkled all around the globe. One such community is in Seattle called Mosaic Seattle. It is truly a community of faith, love and hope. For information about other Mosaics, check out the Mosaic Alliance site.
Watch the Mosaic LA Video
Let Mosaic LA show you what they're all about. Here's their 2-minute video recap for 2006. This is where I attend "church" when I'm in southern CA. Turn up your speakers and enjoy!
I too, am wowed by Erwin McManus! He spoke at TLCF's first Leadership Vision in 2005 and was amazing! We need more pastors like him.
