Great News & Much Needed Prayer

Well the town council voted last night.....and we were given our rezoning! We now have a campus that sits on 60 acres of beautiful land on the corner of Hwy 74 and I485. A location that will allow us to reach and impact our community now and for many years.

We now can move forward with the plans that we feel God has given to us as a church in this community. Moreover, we have been blessed beyond measure in the purchasing of this great piece of property......the owners agreed to owner financing, a lower down payment AND because of the economic times we are in....we do not have a payment or interest due for two years. However, we own it out right and can begin using the land immediately.

What a great week so far.....we have our new expanded land and our new campus in Lancaster Co. had a phenomenal "pre-view" service. It was our first of three "pre-view" services as we look forward to an Easter launch. The volunteers from Matthews and Lancaster Co. did a great job!

HOWEVER....as great as all that is.....everyone reading this BLOG is well aware of the financial crisis that is hitting our area. Everyday we are getting calls or emails that another Team Church family has lost a job, may lose their house or the like. Many families in our church are being affected by the down turn in the economy and people are hurting, scared and suffering.

This kind of circumstance is unprecedented in our generation and in our young church. On Monday afternoon when yet another call came into the office about prayer for another lost job....I felt God impressing me to call for a time of care and prayer. As a church we cannot financially help everyone....the numbers are to great. However, we can be THE CHURCH! As a church we can offer care, a shoulder and prayer. So that is what we are doing:

When: This Friday at 7pm
Where: Team Church main Auditorium.

There will be no planned special music or anything other than Kenny and other staff and volunteers leading us in prayer and Bible reading. There will be time to pray, share your concerns or situation or to just sit quietly and ask God for His grace and peace that passed all understanding. This will be a “come and go” time that we have no agenda expect to be here for those who want to pray and seek God. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN....we just know that as a church we need to offer this special night. INVITE ANYONE YOU WANT WHO MAY NEED SUCH A POWERFUL NIGHT OF PRAYER!

No childcare is provided….kids of all ages are welcome to join whomever is in the auditorium. God does not care about a little talking or baby crying…and neither do we.


We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9
