Mark Freier - Some People Are Gone But Not Forgotten; Others Are Forgotten But Not Gone

He is back!

Mark Freier Bio

Mark Freier was justly famous for Coral Springs, a WELS mission that became a Roman Catholic Church. The building was sold to the Catholics. Randy Cutter, another WELS Church Growth hero, is serving a storefront Pentecostal healing church.

How odd, that WELS CG heroes become Pentecostal and whatever, not remaining Lutheran. But, the sect theologians say, Church Growth is a doctrinally neutral set of methods.

Then there was the must-see Freier video: Rock and Christian's Role. I heard it was a best-seller once it was banned for false doctrine.

Mark went on to serve at Crossroads Community Church, South Lyons, Michigan. Vistors were invited to swim parties. Holy Baptism - Means of Grace. Swimming pool - the jury is out.

WELS sponsored and supported Crossroads, until the news got out. Staffed with WELS people, they did not much want to be WELS. The Michigan District pastors were not impressed. DP Mueller had to withhold his predestined and predestinating blessing.
