Church Coaching Center Starts Today!

Today the coaching center that we are a part of and support through money, time and materials kicks off in Rock Hill. The name of the Coaching center is The Cypress Project. This is a year long teaching, coaching and mentoring process for church planting pastors or other pastors who want to bring a new direction and philosophy to their already existing church. Our very own Neal McGlohon is the founder and leader of the Cypress Project.

Currently we have 3 host cities areas. Charlotte/Rock Hill, Columbia and Myrtle Beach. For this first season of coaching we have 31 pastors from 14 different cities. Moreover, Neal led a group in Calgary Canada last month and a group up there wants The Cypress Project to possibly start a center there. As you know, we use a percentage of our mission budget to support this great cause as we seek to Team up with many other churches in their quest to plant new churches that actually reach
people who are Christians or those who no longer attend church. Moreover, we want to help these new churches become churches that impact their local community in real and relevant ways.

Steve Miller, our new pastor for Team Church in Lancaster Co. is going through the process this year and we are excited about that. Speaking of our new Team Church campus.......this Sunday we will have our 2nd preview service there as we gear up for our Easter Morning launch. We believe that there is a huge need in that area for a church like ours and the evidence is the excitement that our new campus has already experienced.

Team Church is our new name.......it is just who we are!
