update (part 1) church life

Over the next few days, I will update you on what God is doing in my life. I will begin with a snapshot of what is going on with mosaic church.

1. Jesus is being honored and glorified by our leadership. We are trusting in Him and He is the focus of all that we do.
2. I have been blessed with an incredible staff (Walker, Tripp, and Joey) who are continually improving in their dedication to our church and devotion to helping me focus on what I need to focus on.
3. We have some great volunteers who are giving so much of themselves to see the vision of our church carried out.
4. During July we averaged 110 in attendance which is our second highest month ever.
5. Our worship services and environment has become incredible. (thanks to the staff and volunteers)
6. God has brought some new faces to be a part of our church that are going (and already are) do so much to further the Kingdom of God.
7. We have got some office space for very cheap, so while we remain a portable church we will have a central office.
8. We have seen several trust in Christ. We are excited about them being baptized in August!

what you can pray for

God has been burdening me that we need a few couples that are more mature ( age wise and spiritually). We need some strong older married couples that are passionate about our vision to reach the unchurched.

Finances are pretty bad for mosaic church. Please pray that God provides in a supernatural way. Christie and I are exploring the possibility of me working bi-vocationally gain. We'll do what we gotta do!

Other than that, just pray for me to listen to God and not my desires or other peoples desires. There is a great amount of momentum building right now and we don't want to do anything to quench what God is doing!

Thanks for reading and thanks for loving on my family and mosaic church!

Central Baptist Church

Something that we value at Mosaic is involvement.  We desire to see everyone get plugged into the vision of our church.  This should be something that we have in common with every church, but unfortunately it is not.  

I believe that Central Baptist is a church where you can get involved.  There is a lot of changes going on right now and their leadership has a renewed desire to see new people get involved in the ministries of the Church.  Most people look at Central's impressive facilities and think that they are packed with people and that it will be hard to connect.  This is far from the truth.  Central has suffered many years of decline and stagnation and they are now a small church with big potential.  

Pastor Scott Dennis comes from an unchurched background and has a desire to see people who are far from God come to know him.  Pastor Scott has one of the biggest hearts of anyone that I have ever met.  He truly is passionate about seeing people experience what God has for their life.  I think he is a great fit for Central and that we are going to see some great things happen with that congregation under his leadership.  

Not everyone is o.k. with ridiculous videos and John Mayer songs to open up the service.  A lot of people want a blend of modernity with tradition.  Central is a good to church to try out if you are this type of person.  

We may not all share the same preference for style but we should have the same passion for salvations!
