Embracing Change: My Transition to the Boundless Online Church Ministry

Change often brings uncertainty, but it also opens doors to new opportunities and growth. Today, I want to share an important shift in my journey—a transition that marks a new chapter in my ministry and personal calling. For the time being, I am taking a hiatus from my usual blog and post writing here. This pause is not an end to my writing but a redirection of where and how I engage with you all. I am stepping into a new role as the pastor of the Boundless Online Church, a ministry rooted in First Assembly Memphis. This change means exciting updates, fresh content, and a vibrant community that I invite you to explore.

Boundless Online Church is more than a physical location ("The Four Walled Church"). It is digital and global.

Why I’m Taking This Step

Many of you know me from my personal website where I share teachings, music, and reflections. While I will continue to keep that site updated with my materials, books, and videos, my primary focus is shifting toward the Boundless Online Church. This ministry is designed to connect Christians worldwide, including new believers and those curious about the Christian faith. It offers a space for community, learning, and spiritual growth beyond geographical boundaries.

The Boundless Online Church is not just a website; it’s a living, breathing community. It’s where I will be actively writing blog posts, engaging in conversations, and providing resources that meet people where they are in their faith journey. This ministry is an extension of the welcoming spirit found at First Assembly Memphis, where I also serve as the Welcome and Connection Pastor.

What You Can Expect at Boundless Online Church

If you visit www.boundlessonlinechurch.org, you will find a variety of content tailored to support and inspire Christians at all stages.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Regular Blog Posts - Thoughtful articles addressing questions about Christianity, spiritual growth, and practical faith application.

• Community Engagement - Opportunities to connect with other believers through discussions, prayer requests, and shared experiences.

• Video Teachings and Worship - Access to sermons, worship sessions, and teaching series that you can watch anytime.

• Resources for New Christians - Guides and materials designed to help those new to faith understand the basics and build a strong foundation.

This ministry aims to be a place of encouragement and learning, where no question is too small and every person is valued.

How This Affects My Personal Website

My personal website, laynemcdonald.com, will continue to serve as a hub for my music, books, and personal teachings. If you want to find my latest releases, videos, or written materials, that is still the place to go. However, for ongoing ministry engagement, community interaction, and blog content, the Boundless Online Church will be the primary platform.

This separation allows me to focus more deeply on building the online church community while still providing access to my creative works and personal updates.

Invitation to Visit First Assembly Memphis

If you happen to be in Memphis, Tennessee, I warmly invite you to visit First Assembly Memphis. It’s a vibrant church community where I serve as the Welcome and Connection Pastor. You can join us for Sunday services or Wednesday night gatherings. The church offers a welcoming environment for all ages and stages of faith.

Learn more about the church and plan your visit at www.famemphis.org. Whether you attend in person or join us online, you will find a community eager to support your spiritual journey.

Staying Connected During This Transition

Change can feel like a big step, but it also brings new ways to connect. I want to make sure you know how to stay in touch and access the resources you need:

• Visit www.boundlessonlinechurch.org for blog posts, community chats, and ministry events.

• Use laynemcdonald.com to find my music, books, and personal teachings.

• Reach out through either platform if you have questions or want to connect personally.

  
  

This transition is about expanding how we engage and support one another in faith. I am excited about the possibilities and hope you will join me in this new chapter.

What This Means for You

If you are a reader of my blog or a follower of my ministry, this change means you will find fresh content and community interaction in a new place. The Boundless Online Church is designed to be accessible and welcoming, whether you are a lifelong Christian or just beginning to explore faith.

You will find:

• A place to ask questions without judgment.

• Resources tailored to your spiritual needs.

• Opportunities to connect with others who share your journey.

• Regular updates and teachings from me and other ministry leaders.

  
  

This ministry is about building relationships and growing together, no matter where you are in the world.

Looking Ahead

While I am pausing my blog here, this is not a goodbye. It is a shift toward a broader platform where I can serve more people in new ways. When the time is right, I will return to writing here with updates and fresh insights from my experiences at the Boundless Online Church.

For now, I encourage you to explore the online church, join the community, and take part in the activities and teachings available. Whether online or in Memphis, there is a place for you to grow, connect, and be encouraged.

Thank you for your support and understanding during this transition. I look forward to seeing you at the Boundless Online Church or at First Assembly Memphis soon.
