Going to one service

Hey everyone!  I wanted to remind you that starting November 9, we will be going to one service.  The service time will be 11:00am.  A lot of people have asked me if I am okay with this or am I disappointed or whatever.  My answer is "Of course I am okay with it...and no I am not disappointed!"  Two services was the right thing to do for the launch and going to one service is the right thing to do for now.  Before we launched the Toccoa Campus, I had a few opportunities to really lay out the vision for what we are doing in Toccoa and that vision is alive and well.  That vision is to provide an excellent Sunday morning experience where people who are far from God can come, feel welcomed, cared about, and comfortable so they can hear the truth and become fully devoted followers of Christ.  Going to one service is totally in line with that vision.  I think that one "big" service is more inviting to a first time guest than one of two smaller services....they don't feel like they stick out as much.  I also think that the "critical mass" that will be brought to the one service will allow us to build momentum faster......it is really going to be exciting to have everyone in one service....we are going to blow the lid off that gym!

So......I'm not disappointed.  I am excited!  As Pastor of the Toccoa Campus, I am going to do whatever needs to be done to reach that person that doesn't go to church......and so should you.  Reach out.  Invite your friends, family, and workmate who don't have a church home.  You have a divine appointment with someone this week who is searching......invite them, offer to pick them up, get them here....God will take care of the rest.

Cardboard Testimonies

Last Sunday we watched cardboard testimonies from the Seneca Campus during our Sunday morning services. It was incredible seeing the "before and after" testimonies of so many people...it was incredibly moving.

Here in Toccoa we have many many before and after testimonies as well! I would love to hear yours. I think it would be very cool for people to post their "cardboard testimony" as a comment to this blog.....just hit the "comments" link below and leave yours in this format....I'll start


Before - Divorced, unable to love

After - Married to incredible Christian woman who teaches me what love is everyday.

Last Week of Intervention

The "Intervention" series has been awesome so far! But this Sunday is going to be the best of all four weeks...guaranteed. We need to seriously get the word out this week and invite everyone we possibly can! This Sunday has the potential of absolutely changing peoples lives and we don't want to miss this opportunity.

Please think of people that you can invite that need an intervention in their life...that need to know Jesus! Everyone needs to bring at least one person with them this week. Lets pack the place out and see what God does! There are people all over Toccoa and Westminster that need a safe place like Foothills Toccoa to hear about a God who loves them no matter where they are...

Our vision is to reach those who are far from God.....but we can't wait for them just to show up. We have got to INVITE them. 95% of people who are not attending church will come if someone personally invites them.
