Serve the COMMUNITY! Caring for people matters! Last Sunday someone in the community had a need. Who knew something as simple as cutting grass, weeding, trimming bushes, raking, and having a conversation could have a huge impact! Our hearts at Represent Church is to see needs, act, and help everyone take their next step toward following Jesus! 1 family at a time! #represent #representchurch #god #jesus #longisland #newyork #christian #lawn #landscaping #mastic #masticbeach #shirley #brooklyntomontauk

Acts 13 In Jesus, we have forgiveness of sins! Forgiveness is the act of throwing, letting go, pardoning, surrendering. Jesus gives us hope and new life. He wipes the slate clean with forgiveness. Sometimes forgiveness happens right away and sometimes it’s a process. Wherever you are at in your “forgiveness journey” there is space for you at Represent Church. We would love to walk with you! Sundays, 10am, 31 Neighborhood Rd, Mastic Beach, NY, 11951. #sunday #jesus #church #forgiveness #forgiven #god #represent #representchurch #li #ny #mastic #masticbeach #shirley #family

PRAISE! Seeking God, thanking Him for what He has done, is doing, and will do. We are a distracted people. Family, food, finances, fun….. all are good things , but can easily become bad if they distract us from the most Important things. Praising God and being in relationship with Him. God loves you, He has a purpose for you. Seek Him today and PRAISE Him for all He has done. Ask Him for help in seeing His goodness today. Forgive, Let Go, Move on, and PRAISE THE LORD. Love ya Fam! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 #Praise #God #Church #Jesus #represent

What a Sunday! We had the privilege of attending @localchurchli and hearing from @vinehill.church as a guest speaker. We got to build relationships, pray, and celebrate. We also had the privilege of donating leftover school supplies to a Long Island based homeschool group. It’s so powerful spending time together, learning about God, and serving the community! God is doing big things on Long Island! Come be a part of it!! @representchurch #representli #church #god #homeschool #serve #mastic #masticbeach #shirley #longisland #NY

Starting a new church on Long Island takes a team!! We had our first launch team social and it was awesome!

Join us for our first Startup Party! 🥳🥳🥳 This Wednesday April 10th, from 6pm-7pm, at Centerpoint Church in Holbrook we will get together for free food, celebration, hear about the new church (Represent Church), and find out how you can play a part! #joinus #beapart #playarole #youmatter #Godloves #shirley #mastic #represent #brooklyntomontauk #representchurch #startupparty #longisland #newyork

Will you join us for our 1st Start Up Party? 🤷🏻‍♂️ This is an opportunity for you to hear about the vision God has given us to start a new church on Long Island. This will be 1 hour of FREE food, vision, conversation, laughter, and hearing about how you can play a role. Child care will be provided! 💁🏻‍♂️ Register TODAY (click the link in the bio and follow the prompts) 📲 See you there! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 #Representchurch #longisland #church #mastic #shirley #god #jesus #christian #williamfloyd #masticbeach

What is Good? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Every Good thing is from above. Sometimes our day to day lives try to define “#Good” but instead of defining what is good we confuse it. We start to believe: Wealth = Good Prestige = Good Relationships = Good Stuff (material possessions) = Good All of those things are good things but they do not define “Good”. The value and worth placed on those things from the one who made them, and gives them is the definition of Good. Sometimes, hard times in our life feels bad; but ….works together for our Good. When you seek God today ask Him, “God, what in my life is a good thing from you? Remind me today that YOU are good, and you pour out Good things.” #seekGod #whatisgood #Godisgood #whathegivesisgood #longisland #church #Represent #shirley #mastic #williamfloyd #God

Will you help us start a church on Long Island? Over the next few months we will be preparing everything needed to start a church in the Mastic/ Shirley area of Long Island NY. This means serving the community, praying, building a launch team, creating systems, support raising, finding a location, and cultivating a church culture for Jesus. Want to know more?? DM me so we can meet up for coffee/food or click the link in my bio to view the website. Whoever you are and whatever your church/ God experience is, we would love to meet with you. Until next time Fam! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 #Representchurch #williamfloydschooldistrict #NY #LI #Newchurch #represent #church @itsmeblai

~BIG Update~ Our family moved to Long Island, NY this week!!! After some time of praying, getting wise counsel, and discussion, we decided to take the next step and re locate to NY. We will be taking the next year to seek personal growth, serve locally, and take steps in starting Represent Church. We are excited and believe this is what God has for us. Thanks for your love, support, and prayers as we transition and seek starting a church on Long Island NY. We will be starting up our newsletter and social media posts this month so stay tuned in. Peace out fam!! #Churchplant #churchplanter #LongIsland #LI #NY #Jesus #FollowJesus #freedom #forgiveness #hope #beards #family #southshore #eastend

HOW WE DOIN! 🗣 I know, I know, it's been a while. But we are back baby!!!! 👶🏻 The past few months have been a time of growth, prayer, and refining. We have some awesome things happening this week and I can't wait to share the news with you all. Stay tuned next week to find out the news!!! #staytuned #Kansascity #NY #LongIsland #Representchurch #Represent #LI #Churchplant #Churchplanter #nextstep #Church #Comingsoon #Southshore #Eastend #FollowJesus #RepresentJesus

"Live and Love like Jesus." With a name like Represent Church we have to appreciate a statement like that! It's so rich in truth and love. We see in the book of Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 2 that God was pleased by the love and care Jesus showed. WHY? It's because Jesus daily sacrificed everything to Love God and Love Others. It begs the question..... are we living and loving like Jesus? Jesus had His priorities straight when it came to daily living. Love God. Love Others. Impact the World. If you are like me, this is something I daily need to be reminded of. So... let's be intentional in praying about this today, tomorrow, this week. Say this prayer with me... "God, please give me the strength, love, and patience to live and love like you today. Help me to see people how you see people. Help me to care for needs when I see them. Help me tell people about the good news of Jesus. God help me live and love like you today." AMEN. #Representchurch #Church #Churchplant #Churchplanter #NY #LI #KC #KS #LIVE #LOVE #JESUS

Big things are happening this week for Represent Church. 🥳🥳 We held our first official board meeting 📜where our governing and operating documents were voted in. @itsmeblai was ordained as the first pastor of Represent Church. Praise God for Vision, Passion, and Hope in starting a new church on Long Island, NY. Shoutout to @rjs207 for signing the ordination certificate on behalf of the Represent Church board members. Our mission at Represent church, is to help everyone take their next best step in following Jesus! #Representchurch #Re-present #Churchplant #Churchplanter #nextbeststepinfollowingJesus #followJesus #KS #KC #NY #LI #HopeforLI #ReachLI #Southshore

Matthew 27:51 tells us "Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,". Not your typical Easter message 🤷🏻‍♂️ but this Easter our sending church (@visit_grace_sop) in Kansas City taught on "The Veil". This message was so encouraging and empowering. It was a direct reminder that we were granted full access to the "THRONE OF GRACE". We were granted access to God! That we no longer have to offer sacrifices, or utilize a high priest to talk with God. We can boldly approach our gracious/loving Father and He is right there, ready to listen. Jesus payed the price for us. When He died on a cross for our sins, He payed our debt in FULL! And when He arose from the grave He gave life and hope to the world. Do you believe this truth? What can you thank God for today? What can you approach Him about right now? What are you waiting for? Be encouraged, empowered, and hopeful that God is for you and granted you VIP access to a relationship with Him. The veil has been torn! 🙌🏻 #RepresentChurch #Easter #Theveil #Approachthethrone #ThankyouJesus #churchplant #churchplanter #KC #LI #KS #NY

How we doin Represent family! The past few weeks God has been reminding us of the truth found in John 15 : ABIDE. Jesus teaches us in this chapter the importance of Abiding/ Staying connected to Him, The true vine. 🪴🍇 Apart from God we cannot do anything! We will fail! We wont be able to sustain love! We will forget purpose! Ironically we like to "get close" to God but not "abide" in Him. The word ABIDE means: to continue, to stay, to endure, to wait, to live. So the question is... are you abiding in Jesus, God, The Bible? What are you abiding in? We have been constantly reminded that "we" cannot start a church, God can! "We" cannot lead people, God can! "We" cannot do this, God can! What in your life do you need to be change so you can ABIDE in Jesus? Remember, God can do/produce far greater things than you can dream or fathom when you abide in HIM. Stay connected to the vine. Go check out John 15 this week. Its a game changer! #Churchplant #Church #ABIDE #LI #NY #KS #Heisthevine #Wearethebranches #Stayconnected #notclose #TakeyournextbeststepinfollowingJesus #Southshore #eastend #Newchurch #Forgiveness #Freedom #Hope #Love

**Church Under The Bridge ** Yesterday I had the privilege of teaching about forgiveness to a group of people under a bridge in downtown Kansas City. We shared that God’s heart for us is to be forgiven and to forgive others. This outreach has been going on since 2018 and serves the needy and homeless population of Kansas City consistently. Serving the community is something our sending church @visit_grace is all about as well as our weekly Grace Group. I encourage anyone in the KC area to check it out and serve! If you’re not in the area … think about and act on ways to serve your community! All in all it was a great opportunity to share about Jesus! 🥳🥳 #Representchurch #Represent #Serve #LoveJesus #LoveOthers #Reachthecommunity #KC #Reachkc #churchplant #Churchplanter #NY #LI #KS #churchunderthebridge #gracegroup

How we doin fam! 🥳 At Represent Church we exist to help everyone take their next best step in following Jesus. We know that people matter to God... therefore people matter to us! Even more specifically - Long Island matters to us! We love the pizza, the bagels, the beach, and most importantly the people!!!🙋🏻‍♂️Yup you matter more than BAGELS! 🥯 But for real, our hope is that Jesus is known on the east end, south shore of Long Island. Will you take a minute and pray about the east end communities, people, towns, and families that we will interact with. We believe God has BIG plans for the "EAST END" and we are praying to be a part of those plans. That we will get the opportunity to help people follow Jesus, be baptized, serve the community, and even start more churches! Big things are on the horizon for Represent Church so stay tuned for whats just around the corner! Love ya fam! 🤙🏻 #Representchurch #Represent #LI #NY #churchplant #Churchplanter #FollowJesus #bagels #BECSPEC #iykyk

We exist to help everyone take their next best step in following Jesus! What’s your next best step? Is it trusting and believing that Jesus loves you? Died for you? Rose from the grave for you? Is it creating a discipline to pray? To read the Bible? To serve? Is it to surrender? Truth is you can have a million different next steps. But I’ll tell you this…. We are here to help in whatever way we can! We love you! Let us know how we can help! 🤙🏻🥳👍🏻 #life #church #Representchurch #churchplant #westhamptonbeach #li #ny #community #loveyourneighbor #loveGod #wootwoot

Today, we will be praying for you! Praying for you to embrace God’s peace, forgiveness, freedom, hope. We want to help everyone take their next best step in following Jesus. For some that means praying and seeking God. Prayer is simply put “communicating with God”. Sharing with Him your hurts, struggles, tears, celebrations, thankfulness, requests, confusions, happiness! Share with God today and allow that conversation with Him to give you peace. Thank you Jesus! #Representchurch #Represent #Re-Present #churchplant #pray

Praying for Represent Church tonight. We want to make whatever community we are in better! We want to serve, love, and encourage everyone we interact with. Praying for God to be leading, providing, reminding, and making it happen! Thank you Jesus!! #churchplant #Representchurch #LI #NY #represent #NextBestStep #Jesus #Love

Represent Church is moving forward in starting a new life giving church in the town of Westhampton beach, NY! Womp! womp! womp!! While on Long Island last weekend we ran into a lady who was excited to hear that we want to start a church in Westhampton beach. She said “this town needs more faith and community!” Talk about confirmation from a town local. Thank you for praying as we “community searched”, and God thank you for leading. Now we are praying for a building 😏 we have one in mind. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

This is a baptism service! What is BAPTISM?? It’s publicly declaring what Jesus has done for you. I’m Jesus we have the forgiveness of our sins, freedom from guilt, and we have hope of new life! Send us a DM if you want to know about the life Jesus offers you. #Representchurch #churchplant #churchplanter #life

Good morning Represent family!A solid reminder for today! Spend time with God today by reading the Bible, praying, or being intentional with each other aka Community. As we spend time with God we get reminded of our purpose and His love. When we don’t, we start to compare and focus on our insecurities. Live with purpose today! Be reminded you are loved and God has a plan for your life! Love ya Fam! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 #Represent #Representchurch #li #longisland #ny #churchplant #churchplanting #ks #purpose #nextbeststep

Praise God for an awesome trip!!! We took a group of people to “check out” Long Island and asked them to pray about moving there with us to start Represent Church! We haven’t had anyone say yes yet 🤷🏻‍♂️ some are close 😏 but all we want is for people to seek God. For people to pray and ask God if He wants them to move to Long Island and help start a church. If people pursue God it’s a win!!! This trip was life giving, affirming, fun, and def encouraging. We built deep friendships, prayed over a possible building location, heard from 3 different churches, and served alongside a local food outreach. We drank lots of coffee, ate tons of food, got caught in a squall 😳, and praised God every step of the way. Thank you to those who were following our story and praying for our trip! It was a success! Also….. we didn’t lose George on our return flight. 🙌🏼 shoot me a DM if you want to join our journey physically or financially 😉 #Representchurch #Represent #churchplant #longisland #ny #eastend #loveourteam #zoomzoom #seals #loveGod #LoveOthers #Reachthecommunity #Squall #coldslice #whattypeoffruit #christine #Godisgood

Another day intentionally LOVING OTHERS on Long Island! We ate at a diner, helped a church plant family move, prayed over a possible location…. Again 😏 and spent some time learning about relational ministry over dinner with a local church. Keep praying for Gods leading, guidance, and provision. #longisland #li #ny #eastend #westhamptonbeach #squall #inlet #littlevincents #coldslice #localchurches #loveothers

This trip is going great!!!! Today we met with and served alongside a local outreach on Long Island….. Lighthouse Mission! They are a mobile food pantry and community outreach killing it! Then we went and prayed over a specific building / location in Westhampton Beach! We even spoke with someone in the community who got excited when she saw us and heard we are wanting to start a church. How exciting is that!!!! We celebrated with some beach time, had solid conversations with @localchurchli over dinner and enjoyed some music from @michaelliebler and @bdanhoudek !!!! All in all a great day! #churchplant #represent #representchurch #longisland #li #ny #love #hope #life

Pray for our vision trip team. What’s a vision trip team? 💁🏻‍♂️ This is a group of people who are praying about using their gifts to start Represent Church with us. Over the next few days we will interact with communities, churches, pastors, ministries, and Long Island people. We will be “surveying the land” to look for a possible birth place of Represent Church as well as see if God is leading these amazing people to join the journey. Be praying….. we already had to leave George in Kansas City to catch a later flight. 🤷🏻‍♂️. #RepresentChurch #Represent #LI #NY #churchplant #Visiontrip #herewecome

It has been a fun few weeks! 🥳 We had opportunities to host, support raise, share our vision, run a booth at all of our church campuses, celebrate with friends, and set new goals. Want to be a part of starting a life giving church on Long Island??? Send us a message! God is doing some great things at Represent Church!!! Come be a part of it! 👋🏻 #Represent #Representchurch #NY #LI #LongIsland #ChurchPlant #celebrate #Bigthings #weouthere #comingsoon #LoveGod

God reminded us of this truth today….. He has a plan! There is a famous quote that says “God is opposed to earning; not effort!”. We do our part by planning, prepping, learning, and applying. He handles the process and the path. Today we are thankful to serve and know a God who is with us daily! A God who loves us greater than we know! A God who has a plan and a path for us! Be thankful today! #Represent #Representchurch #LI #NY #longisland #churchplant #thankful #Keeponkeepingon #Bible

Acts 13:38 📖 We have all experienced Forgiveness, Freedom, and Hope at some point in our interaction with Jesus. We daily thank God for these gifts and then seek to share them with everyone we interact with. Which one of those 3 gifts are you most thankful for? Forgiveness? Freedom? Hope? Who is someone you can share Forgiveness, Freedom, and Hope with today? We at Represent Church are thankful for Gods provision of Forgiveness, Freedom, and Hope and seek to “Represent” these truths as we love our community. Comment below 👇🏻 what you’re thankful for today? #Representchurch #love #Longisland #LI #church #churchplanting #NY #bible #Represent #Freedom #Forgiveness #Hope

Spending time with God is always a challenging time and a time of encouragement. Today I was reminded that God comforts us and we get to praise Him. We then get to share that comfort with the world! 🌎With hurting people! With broken people! With happy people! With Godly people! Do you need comfort? Seek God through prayer, the Bible, and Godly community. Do you have comfort? Spend time thanking God! Share that comfort with everyone you interact with! Allow people to be comforted by God through Him comforting you. Let’s be real…. I need His comfort daily and you probably do too. 😉 #remember #abide #share #loveyoufam #representchurch #represent #LI #NY #LongIsland #churchplant #church #comfort #brightenoughforya

We get the opportunity to Represent Jesus to the world on a daily basis. What the heck does that mean? 🤷🏻‍♂️ It means… as we cultivate a relationship with Jesus through prayer, service, and the Bible our lives get transformed. We then get to share that transforming relationship with anyone and everyone we interact with. Has God given you hope that you matter? Has God given you forgiveness from your mistakes? Has God reminded you of your value and purpose? Share those truths with those around you! Represent Jesus! 🥳🥳 #Represent #RepresentChurch #Col3 #Ambassadors #churchplant #NY #LI

This is the year!!!! 2022 will be the year a dream of starting a church that shares Forgiveness, Freedom, and Hope comes to life. Do you want to join this journey? Send us a message, and be praying how God wants to use you to accomplish His mission through Represent Church. #impact #Go #new #hope #life #freedom #forgiveness #churchplant #Representchurch #Represent #longisland

Thank you 2021! We took a step towards starting a church, started a new job, moved to KC, bought a house, had a baby in a snowstorm, said goodbye to friends and family to pursue what God is telling us to do. It was a wild year. This last year has had its ups and downs, but we have seen Gods peace and provision through it all. Our family is excited to see all that God does through 2022. This is the year we will move to Long Island, start a church, and watch God change lives. Thank you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. We are excited to see what God does!!

I love me some Forgiveness, Freedom, and Life

I find myself dwelling on this verse this morning. Time with Jesus isn’t about marking off a Christian checklist in my daily planner; it’s about investing into a relationship that will result in comfort, purpose, and perfect peace. What’s different about this “calmness or stillness???? It flows directly from the one who hand crafted you….. the one who literally created peace! 😳 what does your “peace time” look like today?? I’m praying for Represent church this morning and that it shows and shares the “perfect peace” of Jesus! Comment below what your “peace time” looked like today.

Today, while sitting in the cafe working on Represent church vision, I was asked “Blaise, do you want to go on a spontaneous trip…”. Our senior pastor Tim, invited me to observe his routine in prepping, teaching, and recording a future message for @visit_grace . I love having spontaneous opportunities to observe, pray, and ask questions as I prepare for starting Represent Church on Long Island. #LongIsland #churchplanter #startachurch #lovelife #liveforJesus #opportunities #teamleadership #representchurch #representchurchLI
