Time for change

Does anybody really like change? I mean, really, change is just different. It means doing something different on some level. You have to do it, say it or be it a different way. Thinking about changing Life Church Franklin to a different location can be a daunting thought process, but I believe to be faithful to the vision God has placed on us it's a change we have to make.
Currently, as we meet at our Depot Street location we are very close to being completely out of room. It's no different than when we moved from our original location as we grew from 9 to 65 people and then renovated and moved into the Depot Street location.
In a short time we will not be able to use the store front down from us for LifeKIDS. Our options are to add a portable building or move somewhere for more room. With a portable building we get temporary relief but no long term room to grow.
Myself and the leadership have put a great deal of time and prayer into a new location. It looks as though we have a unique opportunity for that to happen.
Please continue to pray for us as we dive into the details and make preparations.
I realize some people won't like the change to a new location...actually some people wont like any change, but if you are excited and passionate about what we are doing at Life Church and the opportunity to lead more people into a meaningful relationship with Jesus, I ask for you to get excited...be supportive...pray for me, leadership and the church as a whole.
I believe God has called Life Church Franklin to be a catalyst for a new spiritual awakening in Franklin, NC and as we stay faithful, generous and excited, God we bring, show and do amazing things through and around us.
Hang on Lifers, the ride has just begun!
