After looking at about every possible location in Santa Cruz we're narrowing things down to the best possible location for the new church plant. We've looked at schools, nightclubs, leasable spaces and existing churches. We're looking for a location that will serve our immediate needs and give us both room to grow and run our new upcoming children’s ministry in a safe and compelling environment. We also need some parking and a room that will suit our visual multimedia vibe. The location that seems best suited is an existing church facility in Santa Cruz that contacted us and invited us to explore using their facility on Sunday nights (since they only meet in the morning).
This church approached us with an amazing heart, they said "we have a building and don't use it in the evening and we want to help you guys" "why not here?" and "it seems like a no brainer". That's a Kingdom mindset big time - we're humbled and blessed by their generous offer. And Guess what - their facility is superior to the rooms we've been using to boot! Have you noticed what God has been doing in and around the Elevation church plant? Wow!
Since we are still in discussion with their leadership and their Elders have not made a final decision we need to keep the name of the church confidential until they finalize a decision and tell their own church body in advance of ours (if we all choose to go ahead with this). More details coming early in October but we've narrowed the field considerably!
Keep praying that God will lead us to the very best location for His work wherever that might be.
