The History of Bible Way
The Bible Way Church of What’s Happening Now was chartered November 11,
2004, after being founded July 4, 2004. The ministry began in the
summer of 2002 when, then, Brother Michael Hunter began hosting weekly
dinners and bible studies in his living room. Some friends were routine
visitors for the food and went away once the bible study component
became prevalent. Those who remained were blessed and soon realized
that they were in the presence of one of God’s anointed. Before long,
word of the bible study was spreading and the core group of attendees
was asked by Brother Mike to pray for God’s direction in forming a
formal “Church”. After much prayer and guidance from the Lord, The
Bible Way Church of What’s Happening Now was born.
The inaugural service was hosted the July 4th weekend of 2004
along with the first annual Neighborhood Warming Party. The block party
(of sorts) was an opportunity to meet the church’s neighbors and to
simply let people know that the ministry existed. The party and the
inaugural service were both big hits and the church of what’s happening
now was well on its way.
Why “Bible Way” for a name? When Pastor Mike was a teenager, the Lord
placed in his spirit the importance of living life “the bible’s way”, as
opposed to simply following the traditions of any particular religious
denomination.
Why “What’s
Happening Now” for a sub name? During the formation of the church, the
Lord quickly revealed that the ministry would be an instrumental leader
for today’s youth. The youth are always up on what’s happening and they
need to know that God is their God and not simply a part of religion.
Also, tomorrow is not promised to any of us so we must take advantage of
the NOW!
