Sunday night reflections

Here are a few reflections on our Gathering last night.
- We had 4 new people who were all invited by a friend. AWESOME!
- Some previously uninvolved folks committed to coming to a Dinner Group.
- A few people told me they were ready to increase their involvement.
- Our Idea Group (reading Simple Church) discussion was great.
- I shared where we, as The Point, are going and what we need to get there:

  • We are going to do whatever it takes to make disciples who make disciples.
  • We are going to create an engaging, relevant and irresistible worship gathering that's worth inviting our unchurched friends to.
  • We are going to be incarnational and missional by creating fun, relevant and meaningful projects to serve our city and show people Jesus.
  • We are going to create and exciting children's ministry that partners with parents to help them disciple their own children.
  • We are going to create reproducing small groups where people can be real and genuine, and experience authentic Christian community.
  • We are going to make a dent in the unchurched population of Spartanburg County by doing whatever we can to reach those who are far away from God.
  • We are going to make Spartanburg a better place to live.
That's where we're going. Here's what we need to get there:
  • We need Staff.
  • We need you to give.
  • We need and incredible band.
  • We need you to invite (I'll blog later on the B.I.T.S. Principle).
  • We need small group leaders.
  • We need you to let us know where you can serve.

I am so pumped about where we're going and what God is doing. You can listen to the message online by clicking here.
