First Service New Digs

We had our first service in our new location on Marion and Iliff yesterday. It was a huge success. Our very committed core of ministry partners worked their fannies off last week getting the building ready. I am grateful beyond words for all the work they did. This is a church that serves!

We packed our new place out yesterday and the energy felt great. It felt like a community. It felt like the Holy Spirit was in the room. It felt like God is taking us on a grand journey. Our job continues to be to trust and obey.

In the weeks ahead we will be renovating our space. We will re-carpet and paint upstairs and down. We will create a super fun and safe space for our kids and students. We will have a tent, complete with floors, bathrooms and spaces for different ages in the grass lot adjacent to the parking lot. Think DIA for kids! We will turn the fellowship hall into a cafe. The foyer will become a gathering place. We will also install a sweet sound system.

Why are we doing all of this? It's not to make this building the center of our church. We are doing this because our vision is to see people restored to the image of God. The real ministry takes place every day in our families, businesses, schools, the gym and our networks of relationships. This building is a tool that will help us train leaders and church planters, worship God, encourage each other, pray, and serve the homeless and people in our immediate area. It is a building. We are the church. Let's thank God for a place to meet and remember its about our relationships to him, each other and the people in our city that really matters.
