In this episode we talk with Chris Dunaway about what is going on at the Middle Street Baptist Church in Porstmouth NH. On their website, Middle Street says, "Life and faith can be messy, and we don’t run from that. But through it &nbsp;all we trust that God is good, and through his son Jesus Christ and the &nbsp;Holy Spirit he’s in the business of making everything right again." 
 
That's a nice summary of Chris's philosophy of ministry. As Chris describes things at Middle Street, listen to how he avoids cliches about target audiences and marketing metrics. You will hear someone who isn't trying to be a CEO or an entrepreneur. You will hear a pastor with a shepherd's heart.

S1E5 FELLOWSHIP BREAD

There are about 150 American Baptist Churches in Vermont and New Hampshire. We are kind of old, kind of small, and the soil we are growing in is pretty cold and rocky. Even so, we think Aslan is on the move and God is at work pushing back the long winter. If you have lived in New England, you know that spring brings both bumps in the road and sweet maple syrup. We want to tell you the sweet stories of what God is doing, and some of the stories about those bumps in the road too. It's all good because the signs of gospel revival are real, and mud season doesn't last forever.
