From Customers to Co-Workers | Anderson, SC Worship
February 15, 2026
Fr. Jon Aamodt
The Altar Church is a Three-Streams worship community in Anderson, SC, rooted in the Anglican tradition but designed for a restless generation." "Are you just 'going' to church, or are you actually being The Church? Today, we’re breaking down the 'Pervasive Consumer Mentality' that treats faith like a gym membership and keeps us stuck in the bleachers as spectators. It’s time to move from the sidelines to the frontlines. Whether you feel like a 'runaway' or you’re just ready for a wake-up call, we’re exploring what it means to stop begging God to bless our plans and start joining His. Get ready to shift from a consummate consumer to a Kingdom Co-Worker. Let’s get to work."
Episode Notes
Notes: From Customer to Co-Worker
The Problem: PCM (Pervasive Consumer Mentality): Modern culture often frames faith as a service to be consumed, turning believers into spectators rather than active partners.
The Mission (Missio Dei): The church doesn’t just have a mission; the Mission of God has a Church to fulfill His work in the world.
The Shift: We must stop 'going to church' as a Sunday finish line and start seeing it as the 'starting blocks' for a 24/7 missional identity.The 'Mark' vs. 'Demas' Path:
- Demas: A dropout who deserted the mission because he loved the present world.
- Mark: A former runaway who was restored, became useful to the mission, and eventually wrote a Gospel.
Join the community! We are an ancient-future worship community currently planting in the Anderson/Belton area (29627).
