So we're planting a new church and that means foundational work, the kind that no one sees. We're setting up strategic alliances, praying alot, meeting with other pastors, leaders and my church planting coach (and old friend) the amazing
Steve Ogne! We're also working on setting up all the legal mojo to be legit like Articles of Incorporation, By Laws, getting tax exemption status in order, trying to finding a lawyer, deciding on a board of directors, beginning to look at our accounting plan and
starting to think about locations. Funny all anyone ever asks about it where we might meet - church is so much more than a location on Google Maps...
We've been learning from those who have gone before us; asking lots of questions! We're getting amazing networked help from amazing ministry friends and volunteers with killer gifts and experience - they are starting to come from all over to jump in. Jesus is at work and you can taste it all day long. It's an exciting time; we have only Jesus and a Vision and Calling from Him and that's AWESOME! It is soooooo good to be floating in the air after jumping off the cliff and then smiling because you know Jesus is flying alongside and He's grinning ear to ear. Man, this is good. So pray for E as we lay the groundwork for a new missional and less conventional church here in Santa Cruz.
On The iPod - The Clash, lots and lots of Clash lately.
