As I connect with leaders and volunteers at Hope Summit, I love it when people catch the vision for evangelism.  It isn’t easy to change direction and do something differently when you’ve been doing it the same way for years.  I had the privilege of meeting with our Arts Team and began to cast vision for our [...]

Confession time. Sometimes when pastors preach, we feel like we are on an island and there is no one actually listening.  We get little or no response from the church, and we can almsot feel like what we’re doing is pointless.  It kind of feels like we are stranded on an island in the middle of a lake.  We can see [...]

I’m so excited about Christmas Eve at CCV this year.  Our creative team has been working overtime to create an experience that will help us connect with God, each-other, and the message of Jesus. …colorful Christmas lights on a cold winter’s night a candle’s warm glow that brightens a darkened room. All around us are [...]

At our churches we want people to know what we have to offer when they show up to a weekend worship service.  However, as our churches grow (and we have more to offer) traditional verbal announcements just don’t cut it anymore.

Night 2 of Stretch was awesome and I am again amazed at how wonderful our volunteers are at CCV.  The food was great, and our students are having a great time (see the photo below for the happy meal/blender contest!).  April did a great job communicating forgiveness and how our middle school students need to know that God [...]

Brendon and the Student Ministry team pulled off a great start to Stretch tonight!  The volunteers, staff, and students seemed to be having a blast as the first night of stretch kicked off a great event.  Tonight’s topic, taught by Brendon, covered the idea of LOVING OUT LOUD (check out his sermon video below).  In [...]
