What can I say except...wow!
We moved to a new location this past Sunday and did everything we could to notify those who attend. In fact, we sent out a mass email and letter to anyone who has ever even stepped foot into one of our services...just to let them know about the change in location. All that time, finances (stamps are getting to be expensive) and energy...and we still had nearly 30 of our regulars not show up. And guess what?!?! We still had right around 130 in attendance! Wow!
We've got a firm base of around 160 people...that doesn't include all of our students that show up on Wednesday nights...add in those students and we're currently reaching as many as 175 people on a weekly basis! How crazy is that? For a church that's 16 months old, with NO mother church, and a original "core group" of only 15 adults...that's flippin' awesome! And guess what?!?! We're no where close to being done!
We're starting our brand "Point Groups" this Wednesday night for men, women, and students (Pre-K through 12th grade). What are Point Groups? Point Groups are what we at Lifepoint Church refer to as our "gatherings & studies" outside of Sunday mornings. They will be a time of cultivating genuine relationships and spiritual growth. We'll have seperate men's and women's Point Groups...and what's really cool is that our students (Pre-K through 12th grade) will have their own groups as well. Savannah Elementary, on Wednesday nights, will now be our "student center"...full out children's ministry and youth service...with plenty of room for growth!
All that to say...I'm pumped about the momentum we have and direction that we're going as a church. Next "growth barrier"...here we come...and we're not just gonna break it...we're gonna shatter that mug. God is amazing and using us to do amazing things!
Hope to see you Sunday.
