So today was the first time we got to experience Elevation Community Church as a family! I think we were all a bit surprised in the amount of people that showed up for the Grand Opening. 416!!! Wow!!! That is so thoroughly impressive, even more impressive than that is the fact that 17 people gave their lives to Christ today! My family and I are moving right along with this Church. It has so much to offer for us. First, there are many, many areas to serve in (appealing for all of us). There is a Youth group that pretty much jumped from about 12-15 kids to 20-30 kids in one week (appealing for Austin). There are numerous families in this Church that Homeschool (appealing for Julie, and Diana). Phil, and the rest of the Worship team are absolutely AMAZING!!!! Pastor Craig seemed as though he is supposed to be no where else but on that stage teaching God's word. He was awesome, incredibly funny, and so, so sincere! Very BLESSED that my family FINALLY found their NEW Church home.
It is funny, last week Julie and I attended an event and their Sunday Church service, and we both made up our mind. Today we had Diana, and Austin with us, as well as EVEN more friends and family that came out to see what the NEXT BIG THING God was doing.... Like I said before BLESSED, but even more than blessed. Me and my family are so relieved that we have found this group of people. We have all quickly made some new friends, and are moving quickly to find roles in this new group of believers. Austin and Jordan (our friend Sarah's son) attended Youth Group tonight and they loved it! Both want to be there every week. God is just so amazing. I don't know why it took so long for us to find a new home and hopefully He will reveal that to us, but we are so glad that we have found Elevation Community Church.
Pastor Craig! If you read this, I only have one thing to say (out of Love of course). We need to get a Men's group going! Man time is a MUST!! Lol. We can not let the women out duel us in anything, Monopoly, or Men's Group!
I am willing to go ABOVE and BEYOND to help make it happen too!!
