Vision

Tonight our staff and spouses and one member of our band attended the first session of the Drive Conference here at North Point Church in Alpharetta, GA. To say that it was incredible is an understatement! There are over 2000 pastors and staff members from all over the world here. After experiencing engaging worship that rocked the house, Andy Stanley spoke on how uncertain times are the best times to minister to people and when God does his best work. I think that is so true. If you look at the scriptures, that's what the stories are all about. God working in uncertain times and using people in uncertain times to do his work! That's especially true for church planters in young churches like ours. We don't know all the answers about where we're going and what it will look like when we get there, but we know that we're called to lead our churches with the vision God has given us. Our vision is and has been since we started two years ago to create a culture where people live out the values of Jesus. And within that vision to help people follow Jesus by learning to Love God, love others and serve the world. It's that simple. So, we are determined to keep it simple and live by this vison. If we do anything else, we'll be doing the wrong thing! And even though there will be those who will try to deter us from our vision with other well-intentioned ideas and opinions, we're sticking to what we were called to do in our neck of the woods! So, I may not know all of the answers to the who, what and where questions. But one thing I do know is that God called us to lead this church plant to reach our community and so we'll continue to go forward with this vision! Hope you'll join us!
