  ence/ A couple weeks ago the Chattanoogan.com ran an article about Tim Reid and his downtown ministry to teenagers.Reid is the pastor of Mosaic, an interdenominational church that sponsors the Club Fathom Christian night club.I went there one time with a friend to see a band.I remember it being dark, loud and insanely crowded; that and never wanting to go back.
  
  â€Å"Sometimes it gets rough,†Pastor Reid said. â€Å"I understand these are not all good, wholesome people . . . so we just try to love them through it.â€Â
  
  Club Fathom’s unusual approach has allowed it to reach groups that more conventional religious outreach efforts miss, Pastor Reid said.
  ...
  About 100 worshippers attend Mosaic’s Sunday morning and Sunday evening services, Pastor Reid said.
  ...
  This letter to Timothy is the first of the three so-called "Pastoral Letters," II Timothy and Titus being the other two, in which Paul is speaking primarily to church leaders (i.e., shepherds) rather than the entire church.Paul had left Timothy behind in Ephesus, where he was facing opposition from false teachers.The over-arching theme of I Timothy is "How to Run a Church"â€"covering topics such as prayer and worship, qualifications for leaders, guarding against false doctrines, and finally guidelines for young pastors (such as Timothy).
  
  However, it can easily be argued that Paul wrote I Timothy for a much wider audience.The letter is rich in doctrinal teaching and abounds with information that would not have been necessary had Paul intended to deal with Timothy alone.I say this to remind us that God's Word is as alive today as it was when He inspired these words nearly two thousand years ago.
  ...
  For that is Paul's purpose in writing this letter to Timothy, that all might be saved and come to knowledge of the truth.
  ...
  This is much unlike the false teachers that Paul warns Timothy about in the preceding verses, beginning in verse five (5):
  ...
  We say that we are sinners, but we often do not believe that we really are, or that we are as sinful as Paul claims here in Timothy.
  
  Paul makes claims like the one in this passage of I Timothy three times in the Epistles.
  
  In 1 Corinthians 15:9 he says:
  ...
  The resulting joy that flows from God's graciousness toward Paul is so overwhelming, that in the middle of the letter to Timothy he breaks out into this wonderful doxology in verse seventeen (17).

  CHATTANOOGA -- Pastor Tim Reid welcomes people into his church, where they can sit on couches or at cabaret tables and chairs instead of pews.
  
  The nontraditional Mosaic Church in Chattanooga, housed in a one-time furniture store, is offering a different atmosphere to go with it's conservative philosophy.
  
  The Chattanooga Times Free press reported that in lieu of worship bulletins, a woman offers pancakes, instead of a soloist performing an aria, a young man executes an original dance with nunchucks.
  
  Despite being a conservative church, Reid said, critics in other churches have called said his flock is "being evil, in league with the anti-Christ and on the highway to hell."

  IMO, Mr. Reid is no different from the owners of said station - plenty of lip service and pretty quotes in public, but when it gets right down to it there's no substance or proof of a transformed life at all. As for being an "Arminian with a passion for the lost", from his actions, I would say that's debatable. However, that's just my opinion, whatever it's worth. I realize your motivation for the post in the first place was not meant to be a debate on Tim Reid or Club Fathom. But, it seems to me the controversey surrounding this "ministry" has little to do with people who are "untouchables" and a lot more to do with the way he himself conducts his business affairs and his life in front of a watching world.

  My post has little to do with Tim Reid and more to do with my own heart. You said that I am giving him too much credit, but from my point of view the strong opinions that you and others have about Club Fathom are allowing you to read too much into what I wrote. From what I can tell based on articles and word of mouth, Reid is simply an Arminian with a passion for the lost . . . who (I think we agree on this) is not as reflective about things as we'd like him to be.

  Tim Reid is nothing like Jesus. True, He wants people to come as they are, but they never left the same way they came. Mr. Reid has done nothing to help the situation caused by his business - and it is a business which uses the "nonprofit ministry" designation to skirt the responsibilities that come with owning a teen hangout. I know people who have dealt with him and he's been less-than-upright in his dealings with people, and he ran away from some of them as well, not wanting to take responsibility for his mistakes. Typical.

  For all the controversy, I still applaud Reid for being willing to get his hands dirty. [/quote] This is true..i also do applaud him.. maybe he just needs organizaiton and help from other churches?... with all the bad publicity i bet it is hard to find support. [quote comment="7473"] the point that I hope is not lost is that we are often like the priest and the Levite in the Parable of the Good Samaritan: seeking complacency and comfort by protecting ourselves from the needs of others. For all the controversy, I still applaud Reid for being willing to get his hands dirty. [/quote]

  For Tim Reid, the teen years were rough.And he said he is trying to reach other troubled teens with his Mosaic church and Club Fathom Christian nightclub downtown.
  
  "I was kicked out of Baylor," he told members of the Brainerd Kiwanis Club on Friday.
  ...
  "Sometimes it gets rough," Pastor Reid said."I understand these are not all good, wholesome people . . . so we just try to love them through it."
  
  Club Fathom's unusual approach has allowed it to reach groups that more conventional religious outreach efforts miss, Pastor Reid said.
  
  "Traditional churches are asleep on Friday and Saturday nights," he said.
  ...
  About 100 worshippers attend Mosaic's Sunday morning and Sunday evening services, Pastor Reid said.

  8/2/2006 - Parents, Keep Your Children Away From Club... - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 8/2/2006    Last Visited: 8/3/2006  

  After reading the comments from Dana L. Chadwell I think it's time for Christians in our community to take a stand and come out in support of Pastor Tim Reid and Club Fathom.Tim is undertaking something that our churches obviously aren't doing a very good job at by ministering to youth, homeless, and others who may not fit into our traditional church environment.
  ...
  That's fantastic news for Pastor Tim because it means he is attracting the type of crowd that desperately needs to hear about Christ.I am growing very weary of hearing Fathom described as a "so-called" church because it doesn't fit the traditional mold.Church isn't about meeting in a building on Sunday mornings in our finest clothes and singing the latest century-old hymns.The church is any group of believers who are attempting to share the truth of who Christ is and what He has done for this world. (Just to set the record straight Mosaic is the name of the church that meets at the location and Club Fathom is their outreach ministry).
  
  Pastor Tim has a different way of doing ministry, but that is no reason to describe him as "two-faced, profiteering, farming the next generation of addicts, and doing it all for filthy profit" as stated by Dana.
  ...
  Chattanooga churches need to minister to the youth and homeless and I applaud Pastor Tim for his vision of ministry.I'm sure there are problems that need to be worked out, but dragging a pastor's name through the mud isn't the way to do it - even if you don't agree with his methods.
  ...
  It would seem to me that parents need to supervise their own children, but until they do I guess it is up to people like Tim Reid to try and help do their jobs for them.I'll be praying for him.
  ...
  I heard Tim Reid, the club's manager, talk about the outreach from the pulpit of his church, River of Life, before Fathom was even opened.He spoke with great compassion about his desire to provide a warm and accepting atmosphere where teenagers and children could come to feel welcomed and understood and where they could be exposed to the love of Christ.
  ...
  One thing I've learned beyond a shadow of a doubt is that this town is full of Pharisees and I defy anyone in this town who calls themselves a Christian to go to a service on Sunday at Fathom (10:30 a.m.), spend time with Tim, talk to the kids that go there and say that this isn't a ministry which helps people.
  ...
  That doesn't mean that Club Fathom is condoning bad habits, it means that Tim Reid understands that it's not his job to change people.It's not his job, nor his duty to control what people do "inches from the door."It is his job to be a strong, righteous man, who stands up for God's word and who lives by example, which he does well.Tim Reid is a strong Christian, husband and father who lives a clean life.
  ...
  If change is to come to these children, it will be from their being exposed to the word and spirit of God and a meaningful example, not because Tim Reid gives them a good spanking.
  ...
  I know Charlie, the pastor of a group that worships on Sunday afternoon, and Tim, the pastor of a group that worships on Sunday morning and evening.
  ...
  I imagine their Christ would be more like Mr. Tim Reid and would not be afraid to step into the mouth of the lion if need be.In fact, the few times I've stepped into the mouth of the lion myself, I discovered him to be quite toothless, and his roar was but a sore throat from having screamed out in pain for so long.
  
  I also think Councilman Rico was out of line, both with his assumptions against fm 94 and his gang gestures, as quoted from the Times Free Press.
  ...
  To Mr. Reid, for sure, your heart is in the right place and so is your faith intact.
