Vintage Church is one church in three locations– Downtown Raleigh, Durham, and North Raleigh. This allows us to live out the Gospel in our specific neighborhoods and cities. It’s not often that we’ll gather the three locations together, but our Conversation on the Gospel and Race was one we all needed to engage in.
For this all-church Members Night, we were pleased to welcome Leonce B. Crump, Jr. He is an author, international speaker, and the founder and lead pastor of Renovation Church in Atlanta. The night opened with a message from Phabienne Anderson of Vintage Church Durham, followed by Pastor Leonce’s presentation that included parts of his own experience, the history of race in America, and teaching from scripture. We closed the evening with a Q&A session, where Pastor Leonce and Phabienne Anderson were joined by Aaron Anderson, Local Pastor of Vintage Church Durham.
