Statement Regarding Withdrawal From Church Network

The Isaiah Church Board of Overseers has made the decision to formally disassociate from the network of churches we have previously belonged to. This decision has been made with as much prudence, patience, and prayer as possible. During the last two years, the Isaiah Church Board has made multiple attempts and efforts to address issues and resolve concerns surrounding leadership theology, church governance, and past decisions with network leadership. However, these conversations and formal attempts have not yielded the changes that would be necessary for us to move forward. It has come to the point that we believe we have exhausted all avenues and withdrawing from the network is the appropriate action for Isaiah Church due to our biblical convictions.

We have many dear friends and acquaintances in numerous network churches and do not believe the problems we’ve expressed are spread equally across each individual church. We are grateful for the many godly men and women who we know are in humble obedience to Jesus across the network, especially to Vine Church in Carbondale who sacrificed to plant Isaiah Church. We pray that all will seek biblical truth and wisdom as they move forward, and only wish the best for all.
