Breaking News!

We’ve got a name for the new church. That’s the great news. The bad news is we just can’t tell you yet. We have a couple of things that need to take place for the name to become official. As soon as we can make it public, you will all be of the first to know.

Other News!

The leadership has meet several times since our last posting. Besides the name, we’ve been working on the various aspects of the ministry. We are currently addressing the areas of facilities, hospitality, servant ministries, and education. We continue to marvel at the highly diversified capability of the leadership team. The excitement and enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. Over the next several weeks, the leadership will continue to work on these things as well as visit churches together and attend a church planting and growth conference.

What's Next
  • Next Thursday, March 26 we will hold another informational meeting. If you would like to know more about this ministry, have questions, or just want to show your support, we welcome you! We will meet at Randy's office, 6534 Clay Ave. Refreshment at 6:45, the meeting wil start at 7:00. We hope to see you there!

Prayer Requests

We feel the power of your prayers. Stuff is happening every day because of your prayers. There is no way we could put this stuff together. It is God who is building this ministry through your prayer.
Pray specifically for:

  • The informational meeting on the 26th. Pray that God would send us at least 20 more new people, as He did last time, to learn more about this new ministry. Pray also that through these meetings God would continue to build the core group of this ministry.
  • The leadership team – Pray that God would continue to fill them with His spirit and equip them for the journey.
  • The Facilities team. Pray that God would make the location clear for where He wants us to begin.
  • Finances – Pray that God would provide the necessary finances for this ministry. Last week we learned that Home Missions will be cutting a por- tion of our support due to a 25%+ decrease in ministry shares. We are also behind in what was originally budgeted from individual church support.
  • Randy & Lisa and their family – Pray for Physical and Spiritual strength and protection.

    Please continue to check back. We hope to share our name and other things with you shortly.
