Rebuilding Faith With Hope, Grace, and Purpose
A welcoming space created to share the teachings of Jesus in a fresh, inclusive light.
The Mission of This Church
Salvation is a big word that basically means that we are rescued from the consequences of our fallen nature: our self-centeredness and unwillingness to submit to proper authority.
In the Bible, in John chapter 3, we are told about a meeting between Jesus and a man, a ruler of the Jews named Nicodemus. This man came at night so as not to be seen talking with Jesus. Jesus told him that a person must be “born again” twice. Jesus goes on and on, talking about the nature of mankind being both flesh and spirit. Yet Jesus never once says why a person must be born again. We are left with a mystery.
There was a reason why Jesus could not explain to Nicodemus why he and every person on this planet needs to be born again. Jesus could not reveal God’s secret plan. God knew that mankind would rebel. He had developed a scheme to trick the Devil. We are told in 1 Corinthians 2:8 that: “For had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.” It was God’s plan from the beginning of time to redeem us from Adam’s rebellion and its consequences. That plan required a price to be paid. Jesus paid that price by sacrificing his life for us on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us.
In the book of Genesis, Adam was warned that if he disobeyed God, he would die. Adam rebelled and disobeyed God and died spiritually. Spiritual death is, by definition, separation from God. From that point, Adam’s total authority over the Earth passed to Satan the tempter. That is why so many bad things happen on the Earth. Satan is now the ruler of the Earth and not Adam. Adam is now a subject of the fallen angel, Satan. Satan, by tricking Adam, took from him his authority over the Earth. After Jesus died and went to hell, he took that same authority away from Satan (Revelation 1:18). Jesus states in Matthew 28:18, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.”
It wasn’t until later that the Apostle Paul, in the book of Romans, Chapter 10:9–10, explains how one is to be born again. Spiritual death is reversed by making a decision to believe that the penalty for Adam’s rebellion was paid by Jesus through his sacrificial death on the cross and that God raised him from the dead three days later. We are also told that we must declare Jesus to be our Lord. Adam died spiritually by one act of rebellion, and we are made alive again by one act of submission.
We are told in Matthew 28:19 by Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations. The reason why so many churches today are closing their doors is that they are not obeying this command. In Luke 13:6–8, Jesus tells the parable of the barren fig tree. The tree consistently fails to bear fruit. In the end, the tree is cut down. The church must bear fruit. If we do not bear fruit, we will be cut down.
The mission of this church is to bear fruit for the Lord Jesus.
No One is Beyond Repair
JC’s Repair Service was founded on the belief that everyone deserves a place to heal, grow, and belong. Traditional settings can sometimes leave people feeling outcast or judged, but our goal is simple: to offer an open-minded gathering where grace comes first. Through the metaphor of a repair shop, we encourage each other to do the inner work, extend forgiveness, and uplift our neighbors every single day.
A Foundation Built on Grace & Experience
JC’s Repair Service grew out of a desire to create a church where everyone feels truly welcome. Having navigated personal experiences with discrimination, Daniel envisioned a faith community centered on understanding rather than exclusion.
Daniel Broadstone. was born in Dayton, Ohio to Dolores and Andrew Broadstone on September 13, 1952. He graduated from the Ohio State University in 1975 with a BSBA degree in finance. From there, he went directly into the US Navy as an engineering officer. After the Navy, he returned to Dayton, where he met his wife. Shortly after getting married, he moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where he attended the University of Louisville and earned another undergraduate degree in marketing and went on to obtain an MBA degree. While working at UPS, he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary part-time. he did not acquire another degree; however, he was afforded the opportunity to pastor a Baptist church for five years. Currently, he is starting a new work as directed by the Holy Spirit.
You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide
Daniel’s Story: From Running Away to a Renewed Calling
A long time ago, there lived a man who was called by God. His name was Jonah. God had given Jonah a task: go preach to the evil city of Nineveh. But Jonah didn’t like the Ninevites and wanted them destroyed. Jonah also knew that God was merciful and that if he obeyed God and preached repentance to the Ninevites, they might repent and God would spare the city. Jonah didn’t want the city spared, so he ran away.
Jonah booked passage on a ship to escape. However, God is not easily thwarted. He sent a great storm so strong that the crew was afraid the ship would break apart. They sought who was to blame, so they cast lots. The lot fell on Jonah, and he was cast into the raging sea to appease God. As soon as Jonah was thrown overboard, the storm died. Shortly after, a great fish swallowed Jonah alive and delivered him to the shore near Nineveh. Jonah immediately went to Nineveh and started preaching. The people repented, and the city was spared.
In 2013, I was pastoring a Baptist church. I met a man and unintentionally fell in love with him. Shortly thereafter, I resigned as pastor because I believed a pastor is a leader. How can a pastor lead a flock when he is in an extramarital relationship? Soon, my wife filed for a divorce.
From that point, I was not involved in a church or a ministry. While not quite as dramatic as Jonah’s story, I was running from God. I certainly felt that I had let Him down by resigning my assignment as pastor. Fortunately, the ten-year hiatus from God wasn’t spent in the belly of a fish.
In June of 2023, the Lord visited me in a dream where He stated that He was giving me a new assignment. Since God had arranged for me to get my first assignment as pastor, I was not concerned about the second assignment. He did it once; He can do it again.
One might ask, “How can a gay man be a pastor?” He is a sinner. This is true; we are all sinners. However, we see throughout the Bible that God has used a number of “unsavory” characters to do His bidding, from harlots to murderers. So why not a gay man?
In 1 Corinthians 1:27–29, it states that God uses the base and despised things to accomplish His will. The church certainly despises homosexuals. Additionally, in Romans 11:29, it states, “For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable,” meaning once called, always called.
Given the above information, what about all the passages in the New Testament about certain groups of people, including homosexuals, that are going to hell and/or the lake of fire?
This problematic interpretation arises because most people read these verses to be statements of condemnation with no escape. They are not. Nothing is set until someone dies. These verses are statements of warning, not a verdict.
There is only one sin that absolutely condemns someone. That sin is rejecting the forgiveness of Jesus and His lordship. All other sins are lumped together with the statement, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
What a magnificent and merciful God we serve! I can’t wait to see how the disaster of my life turns out.
Romans 8:28 states, “And we know that all things work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
A RECONSTRUCTED APPROACH
Restoring Hearts and Lives Through Grace and Patience
Drawing from his background in contracting, Daniel approaches spiritual growth much like a home renovation or mechanical overhaul: with patience, effort, and an open mind, anything can be restored. Just as a structure can be repaired and renewed, people are always capable of learning, changing, and growing through the grace of Jesus Christ.
LOOKING FUTURE-FORWARD
