Yesterday was a great day for our students. They really had a chance to SERVE all day long. Yesterday morning we spent about 3 hours at a food bank. Parents, if your students aren’t really helping out at the house, believe me, they can work! Our team helped sort, label, and move between 15 and [...]
Recap from Jr. High Mission Tour day one
Good morning everyone! It’s 7:15 a.m. and I’m sitting in the lobby of the Hampton Inn in Columbia, SC. Just know that I really love Jesus and students to voluntarily go anywhere near Columbia. I saw plenty of Gamecock stuff at the mall last night. It was sickening.
Yesterday afternoon the students performed for [...]
Off To Myrtle Beach With A Bunch of Middle Schoolers
We are leaving this morning to go on the junior high mission tour to Myrtle Beach. 5 days with middle schoolers? To most people, that sounds insane. To us, that’s a good time. I’m looking forward to watching my junior high students minister in South Carolina. With all the Gamecock fnas up there, there’s plenty [...]
Sheds & New Plans For The Church
It was great this morning to have Dr. Baxter share his vision for the future of our church. Now that everything is public, let me tell you- I’m pumped about the new service. It is EXACTLY what our church needs. I think it will bring a breath of fresh air into our church. I think [...]
Wednesday Night Highlights And Church Update (as promised!)
Before I get to the “meat” of today’s post, I wanted to post a video of our worship team playing Everlasting God last night. I am so blessed to have a faithful team that is not only committed to leading in worship every week, but they are also really good!
Our set [...]
Crazy Busy Week
Hey yall! Just wanted you to know that this week has been CRAZY busy. There is a lot of church change that we have been planning, and this week has been a zoo. Check in tomorrow morning and I’ll blog about it. You won’t want to miss it FBC LaGrange!
Great Changes Coming & New Charlie Sayings
Thanks so much for praying for our staff meeting on Thursday night. After meeting for 3 1/2 hours, I believe that God is truly bringing some GREAT changes to our church. If you’re a deacon, you’ll hear about them Monday night. If you’re not a deacon, then give them $5 and I’m sure they’ll spill [...]
Lessons Learned From Drive (Part 3) and Wed. Night Stuff
This will probably be the last of my comments on Drive. And this comment may be more directed towards North Point than their Drive Conference. One of the things I love about North Point is their strategy. Everything they do has structure and vision behind it. How many Amerian churches have a strategy for making [...]
Lessons Learned From Drive (Part 2) and Mothers Day
The second main session focused on “Becoming A Great Staff.” Some of the highlights from this session were:
A healthy staff culture is characterized by mutual submision. This means being servants to one another. Ho many times in church life have we seen a church buy 3 identical products (sound system, tv, etc.) because ministries would [...]
HOOKED
I went fishing really early yesterday morning. As soon as we got out on the water, I was really excited. The fishing conditions were great and we started seeing some topwater action. I threw a Zara Spook around a weedline and immediately had a bass blow up on it. I got the fish into the [...]
