CWS Has Broken One Threshold ... More To Come!

"Lyle Schaller, considered one of the best church consultants in the world, states in his book, The Very Large Church, that the two most comfortable church sizes are under 45 people and under 150 people, likely making them two of the hardest thresholds to pass through, in addition to the 800 mark." - Mark Driscoll

For Community Worship Service, this 16 month old church plant, by God's grace and hand upon this church, it burst through the threshold of 45 people at the start of year 2 (2012).  God is not just good but great. The name of Jesus, His Word, & Holy Spirit are impacting and changing the lives of people.  We intentionally share the love of Christ and the message of the Gospel to those that are unchurched or walked away from the church.

By The Numbers:

THROUGH WEEK 2 IN MAY OF 2011 AVG ATTENDANCE = 38

THROUGH WEEK 2 IN MAY OF 2012 AVG ATTENDANCE = 54

God blessed with a 43% increase.

NUMEROUS LIVES ACCEPT JESUS AS LORD AND RECONNECT WITH CHRIST.

2 LIVES WERE BAPTIZED IN WATER IN  YEAR 1

3 LIVES BAPTIZED IN WATER IN FIRST 4 MONTHS OF YEAR 2
More to come ...

GIVING HAVE INCREASED BY 50% FROM YEAR 1 TO YEAR 2.

Big miracles of generosity are happening within the body - the church. 

The church BEING the church.

GOD IS SPEAKING TO LIVES TO STEP UP & LEAD EXISTING & NEW MINISTRIES.

Small groups for young adults and married couples.  Pre-marital counseling. Night of prayer on Wednesday nights open to all and coordinated by intercessors. 

At this church, the culture is of worship, prayer, growth, & generosity. 

We will be intentional to cultivate that culture through love and creativity.

Please keep in your prayers.  Thanking and praising God for all that He has not done, has done, is doing, and is about to do. Greater things are yet to come! 150 here we come ... CULTURE SHIFT!

Enjoying This Ride,
