Next Steps...

Here we are...roughly 9 1/2 months old...and we've come a long way. You know it's really amazing to see what can happen when you follow what God calls you to do...regardless of what others tell you. I'm so glad we answered the call that God laid on my heart to start Lifepoint Church.

I spent a good bit of time today just thinking a little bit about what we've seen happen. There are way to many cool things to list...but here's a few that stick out in my mind:

1. Moved to Savannah.
2. Connected with and hired Blake (worship).
3. Landed a facility.
4. Secured children's director / pastor (Jenna).
5. Built small core team (25 including kids).
6. Got "church in a box" - 24ft trailer with all of our equipment.
7. Rocked first service on September 9th, 2007 - over 125 in attendance!
8. Grew the church all the way down to about 60 in mid November 2007 (LOL - easy to laugh at now...it wasn't then).
9. Averaged over 100 since January 2008.
10. 2 membership classes (roughly 30 adult members as of May 2008).
11. Hired student pastor (Johnny).
12. Took first ever Lifepoint missions trip (Mexico - June 2008).
13. First ever water baptisms (July 12th).
14. ???


So...what's next?
Well, we're going to pursue purchasing land. I thought we had land...it turns out we don't. But everything is good and we'll continue searching. I'm eager to see what God has in store for us.

I really can't wait to see what God does next.

Hope to see you Sunday.
