Business Meeting


Sunday night was the annual business meeting at church, and the first business meeting that I have been to since I became a member (right before leaving for Kenya).

Nothing super amazing, but it was a good use of an evening nonetheless, and it was cool to have members from all three of the sites and all however-many of the venues together in the same spot at the same time. We voted on some elder nominations and the purchase of a new piece of land from one if the smaller sites that has been meeting in a theater. We worshipped with teams from all of the sites.

And...they talked a little bit about starting to pass on leadership of the church, which was, quite honestly, a little weird to hear, because, with the exception of a few staff who have been hired from out of town over the last few years, most of the leadership has been around, and been in leadership, for as long as I can remember.

I'm not sure which is weirder, the thought of different people being in charge or the thought of these people NOT being in charge.

Either way, though, I am excited to see what God continues to do in and through this church that has worked so hard to be; not just another mega-church, but a body that is legitimately on fire for Christ.
