CHANGED LIVES = CHURCH GROWTH
This summer we have been experiencing an amazing move of God.  A good friend of mine, and great leader, Joshua Gagnon likes to say, CHURCHES THAT GROW IN THE SUMMER, EXPLODE IN THE FALL.  And although, no one can plan a move of God, we sure can PREPARE FOR ONE.  So, this summer we are working hard to prepare for a major move of God this Fall.  In the process, we are experiencing tremendous spiritual fruit – LIFE CHANGE!

Here is what I have been learning about church growth: CHANGED LIVES = CHURCH GROWTH.

Nothing attracts the lost more than someone who has just been found.  Nothing attracts the sick, more than a life that’s just been healed.  Nothing attracts the broken, hurt, and empty more than a life that has been CHANGED!  CHANGED LIVES = CHURCH GROWTH.

If Jesus is truly changing lives in and through your church, then church attendance will rarely be a problem!

In the past 4 months we have seen 40 adults invite Jesus Christ to be their Forgiver & Leader.  WOW!  I can’t brag on Jesus enough; He is so gracious, and we are so humbled that as a 3 year old church we get the high privilege of being used by God to impact an entire city, and region for Jesus Christ!  Our sole mission is to lead unchurched people to become hardcore followers of Christ!  And we are seeing that happen on a weekly basis!  We have baptized 15 of those new believers already, and even more have recently signed up for the next baptism party at www.theDC.tv/baptism.
