Church Growth
This is a mix on what Steven Furtick wrote on his blog at Elevation Church and a bit of what Salome Thomas El spoke on a couple weeks ago at Fellowship Church. I changed it a bit but ask yourself what if…could church really be like this?
We enable experiences and interactions that leave our people saying:
I love my church
So they’ll tell their un-churched friends:
You’ve got to come check out my church
The un-churched friends come.
We worship Jesus and preach the Gospel with excellence.
The un-churched friends leave saying:
I really like this church
Inspiring them to come back again and again until they say:
I love Jesus and I love my church
And tell their un-churched friends:
You’ve got to come check out my church…
Weekend Wrap Up
- Great to be back from camp. Had 1 student give their life to Christ at camp and saw that he brought his family to church today.
- So many students were broken at camp. I have been involved with camps for 9 years and have never seen students broken after I did this week. Not in an emotional brokenness but an awareness of the junk in their life broken.
- Worship was full of energy this morning. Jeff does a great job leading his team.
- Set-up team had so many obstacles today and did a great job anyways. Being portable is always an experience and they rose up and got us ready today.
- Dan did a great job with video announcements from Kid Venture. Just so you know Dan I would have caught you.
- I got to watch the X-Games this weekend and loved it.
- Salome Thomas-EL brought it this morning and encouraged us to really step it up in our community. Share our faith and more importantly know what our neighbor’s faith is.
- Love how him and his family brings diversity to Fellowship, I wish there was more of it. There is a vision that Fellowship would look more like Heaven and I appreciate his willingness to be the catalyst for change.
- Got to see my 6 year old and 5 year old worship this morning with air guitars.
