Few articles that The Christian Chronicle published over the last year received more comments and attention than a report that the Mayfair Church of Christ in Oklahoma City is becoming part of Crossings Community Church, a 9,000-member multisite congregation with roots in the non-Pentecostal Church of God.

In this episode, we interview the story’s author, Cheryl Mann Bacon, as well as Jared Chambers, minister to the Mayfair Church of Christ, and Pastor Marty Grubbs of Crossings Community Church. Mike O’Neal and Doug Peters of the Heritage 21 Foundation also join us to talk about what congregations might do when they find themselves in circumstances similar to those of Mayfair Church of Christ.
