Tomorrow I will go to work and ask myself if I am making a difference in the world. (I am asking this currently too.) Most days it is no. Some days I do feel like I connect with my customer and it keeps me going. That gets me going, connecting with people. I love people, I may not be an extrovert that reaches out and hugs the first person that walks by, but I love people.
I want to see people connect with Christ.I want to see people come to a knowledge of Christ that is life changing not just a head knowledge where they recite a Bible verse
in hopes that the words have the power to heal. I want to see people actually know the person of Christ, the Savior that empowers those words. I want them to know a relationship with Him, the one that heals the broken hearted and sets the captive free.
I am not exactly sure what role I (or you) will play in Access Church. Whatever the position, the objective is to connect people to Christ. If there is any obstacle that keeps someone from hearing the awesome message of Christ it must be removed.

Why Access
So I've already been asked "Why do you think we need another church in Florence?" Good question. Ask God. Apparently He has a special purpose for something new in this city because 4 people have separately been given a God-sized vision. Only He can make it happen.
Will it be different from churches we have seen in Florence? Yes, in many ways, but we don't want that to be our focus or point. Starting now, in the very beginning, our hope is that when people think of Access Church they see a body of believers intentionally creating the best chances for those who are far from the Lord to meet and grow in Christ. And people that love Christ and are committed to making Florence the best it can be.
There are currently 4 of us on the Access team: Mark and Erika Chapman, Cookie and Chris Cawthon. If you are just tuning in, we have been meeting, praying, studying Scripture together for a little over a year. We currently meet weekly to pray, plan and watch God move. Sometimes it is slow external movement but that often is when He is moving the most quickly and deliberately internally.
We don't always know what He is going to do next, but we believe His end goal is Access Church in Florence, SC.
We are going to take turns updating this site with music, quotes, Scripture and info that He is using in our lives. Should be interesting! Stay tuned and we would love to hear from you! We hope to put up new posts every other week.
