In my sermon tonight, I announced Revolution’s next step.
Over the last few months, we have seen God grow us in incredible ways. We have seen more people start following Jesus and get baptized in that time than ever in our church. We have seen all our ministries (Planet Rev and Rev Up) grow at incredible rates. Right now, 1/3 of our church are in those ministries(infants through 12 grade).
A few months ago, we were approached by 22nd St. Baptist Church about the possibility of moving there to meet as a church. As we talked with them, prayed about it as leaders, weighed the options, all signs pointed that we needed to move.
The facility is larger (especially for kids and students), we are good friends with the leaders, and it is cheaper (almost half as much as we are paying in rent right now).
Mt. View (where we currently meet) has been an incredible ministry partner for us. Pastor David and his team have been gracious and incredibly kingdom minded and helpful. Our church would have had a very difficult time getting off the ground without them. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for them.
The decision boiled down to being able to have a larger space. One of the things I talked about tonight has been our desire to be prepared for what God wants to do. That God sends people to churches who are ready for them and God uses people who are ready to be used. While we could grow a little more at Mt. View, to fully get to where we believe God wants us, we need to have more space.
One of our philosophies has been to think and act like we are twice our size. Right now, that means we need to think and act like we are a church of 250 – 300. You need to think that way so you can get there.
Our plan right now is to be meeting at 22nd St. on July 17th. We will still do day camp (our VBS) at Mt. View. Our next big day on July 17th as we kick off our series The Perfect Kid.
If, after listening to the sermon you still have questions, don’t hesitate to email me.















I’m really sorry I couldn’t be there and I couldn’t be more excited to find out what God has in store for us! Praise God, from whom ALL blessings flow!!!
