Influencing People for Jesus

We had a great first preview service for the North Campus on November 13th! We had 95 people show up for our first set-up and run through at Sheffield Elementary School. We are improving as a launch team as we look forward to the public launch in January 2017! 

Here is the sermon I preached at our first preview service!

Can you believe we are halfway through the month of September? Time is flying by and the Launch team that God is forming for the North Campus is coming together. We are continuing to pray for more workers to join the team to reach people with the gospel.

These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.
— Matthew 10:2

North Campus Exciting News!

We are at the ground floor of the North Campus of Chets Creek Church! Jesus said, "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many” Matthew 20:28. Our response to the selfless love of God is to be people that serve others selflessly. I believe that a church should be known for what they do for the community, not for what they take from the community! This past week, the future of the North Campus of Chets Creek began to take form. I love leading this team and I am looking forward with excitement to the days ahead. The best is yet to come and I am thankful that you are committed to spreading the gospel to North Jacksonville! 

Here are some highlights of our partnership with Sheffield Elementary School:

On Saturday, August 6th over 40 people sweated, laughed, and served together at Sheffield Elementary school.

  • The team cleaned, organized and painted the school. 
  • Cleaned up inside and outside of the school 
  • Moved and organized all the teacher’s books and supplies
  • Decorated over 30 bulletin boards for the teacher’s. 
  • Renovated the Teacher’s lounge with new paint, furnishings, and appliances. 
  • Painted outside and inside the school. 
  • Provided 50 backpacks and supplies 

On Thursday August 11th, we had a day of service.

  • The team provided lunch for over 80 faculty and staff
