The Dream Continues

Early yesterday while no one was here in the office and the Snow was still on the ground and nesting quietly on the branches of the trees.....my mind began to dream about what will be happening in the years to come on the now 60 acre beautiful campus God has given us to use.

I have a fresh since of what the property looks like as I took my two boys on a "tromp" through the new back 40 acres. We are so blessed and God has been good.

I began to dream about.....in no certain order:

* The incredible outdoor and indoor play ground we will have for the kids.

* The waking/jogging trail that will swirl its way through the woods, along the creek and around the property.

* A creatively designed and used community care building that will have places specifically helping single moms, the financially less fortunate, counseling center, celebrate recovery, pregnancy crisis center, adoption center and the like.

* A phenomenal gym for Team Church and the community to use. (Our growing Zumba crew will love that!)

* A unique and incredible building for our growing kids ministry.

* A new auditorium one day for the adult services as the Student Ministry takes over our current building!

* A great looking and functional building that will allow people at Team Church with skills in mechanics, fixing things, and the like to serve single moms and those less fortunate in ways that are real.

* A sports complex with multiple fields and courts of all kinds to allow Team Church to have fun in sports but also to allow our city a safe place for kids and adults to use our community driven facility.

* A open courtyard that connects all buildings with outdoor seating areas, benches and the like. This will be a great place to spend many afternoons in the beautiful Carolina blue skies.

* A book store, cafe and library type atrium area that has in-door & out side seating area that spills int the court yard. This will be connected to the new main building.


The dream list goes on....but you get the idea. The great thing is that this is what we dreamed about 10 years ago.....5 years ago...and last year when we launched our Expand Campaign. In some form, it is what we dream of doing in every city we pant a Team Church.

The great thing about our beautiful campus is that it will be a place that is designed for Team Church to use as we reach and impact our community AND our community to use as they lead out in their own specific passions and calling. We already Team up now with Public schools, public recreation and many more here.....it will only get better.

As a matter of fact.... Tonight while a large group of Team Church men are here going through the Tony Dungy study called Quiet Strength...another church, Champion Christian Center, will be using a part of our facility for a leadership training they are doing for their church.


Some may say.....those are BIG dreams in a time when our nation's economy is going down the toilet. That is true.....however, I believe that in a few years we will look back at these hard economical times and it will be a great testimony of God's faithfulness!
