We had a visitor at church yesterday. It’s funny how excited we were. I get the sense it was a guest at the hotel where we meet. When she asked Travis what time church started, he couldn’t remember…we weren’t expecting a guest.
She participated in service, she sung and you could tell she was [...]

Worship at The Heights
Posted in Church Planting, church on September 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We had a really good service this past Sunday at The Heights. We have already come to enjoy The Cambria Suites and feel like this is a place that God had a hand in guiding us to for our meetings. It’s new and very welcoming and I think that people will feel comfortable coming there [...]

We had a team meeting last night, minus a few team members, to discuss the plans for our first, official, public service. The date is September 13th which is two weeks from yesterday. It became apparent that there was much left to do and to discuss so we will be meeting again tonight. Pray for [...]
Preach the Gospel

Several years ago, shortly after we moved to St. Louis, Kevin and I visited a large church in the area for a Saturday service. We wanted to visit just to kind of scout them out I guess, see how they did things. I remember being overwhelmed at the size of the place, at [...]

As you may have seen in a couple other places, or heard, The Heights is welcoming new members to our team. Travis and Wendy Penn and their children, Isaiah and Brooklyn will be joining us this Summer.
Needless to say, we are thrilled with this news. We have heard many great things about the Penn’s and [...]

The Heights Team had our first fundraising service yesterday and it was AWESOME! A massive thanks to Pastor Doug Philllips and the Emmanuel FWB Church. Pastor Doug was the first Pastor to call us from Indiana to tell us how how excited he was that we were coming to Noblesville. The Emmanuel church is a [...]
Finally…an Update

I wanted to post an update for those who follow the blog and pray for us and for our team on a regular basis. I don’t know how many there are but for those of you who care…here we go.
Things are good in Noblesville. We are consistently grateful for this place that God has led us to. It [...]
Church Hopping

Aside from not getting to preach, one of the really difficult things that we have encountered since I resigned my position at Trinity back in June is the search for a church. The Sunday after my last Sunday at Trinity, we attended a string of six different churches in six weeks. Now that is partially [...]
Praise Item Anyone?

I wanted to take a minute to thank God for a few things. I could take longer than a minute and thank Him for more than a few things but alas, here we go.
Thank you God that our transition to Noblesville has been a smooth one. In fact, that is an understatement. The transition couldn’t [...]
Why We’re Doing This

I’ve been asked several times why our family is moving toward church planting as opposed to some other type of ministry. There are a lot of reasons really. Studies prove the effectiveness of planting new congregations, I have always been passionate about church planting, and we feel like this is what God wants us to be [...]
