Good Bye

God is Great, God is Good!! Access Church has played a significant role in the life of four individuals. It was an incredible 18 month journey filled with emotion, (positive and negative) spiritual stretching and it made our knees a little calloused. We are thrilled to announce that Access Church as we know it will cease to exist. (Stay with me) It was announced today that Newspring Church (http://www.newspring.cc/) will start a church in Florence, SC.

This is what we have prayed for. We have begged God to begin a new work in Florence with the same convictions and strategy to reach the unchurched that Newpring has. That is exactly what has happened. Thank you God for giving Newspring the vision to reach not only the upstate for You, but other areas of South Carolina.

Thank you Perry Noble for your desire to see Jesus' name made famous. We are going to work our tails off to see Newspring Florence come to life as soon as possible.
Michael Brown will be the campus pastor for Florence. He is married to Vanessa and they have one son.

Michael, you and your family have been prayed for for over a year now. We are ready to serve under your leadership and see Florence transformed for Christ! Thank you for surrendering to this calling and thank you for allowing us to begin this journey with you.

So it goes without saying that this is the last post for Access Church. If you want to check out what we are doing please log onto http://www.newspring.cc/ .

Road trip!

We are stoked! Six of us leave Wednesday night to go to the Unleash conference at Newspring Church in Anderson,SC. We will spend all day Thursday being motivated, challenged and meeting all kinds of interesting people. I love a good conference. I don't know if I am more excited about the breakout sessions, the worship time or the chance I might meet some of the celebrity bloggers we follow.

The Newspring website (www.newspring.cc)says this about Unleash:
Unleash is designed to challenge, encourage, and motivate church leaders to take action to reach their communities for Christ. During this year’s conference, NewSpring’s senior pastor, Perry Noble along with the NewSpring Band will lead the two main sessions. There will also be numerous breakout topics that participants will be able to choose from during the two breakout sessions.

So pray that our hearts are open to what the Lord has to teach us at Unleash. And that we bring it back to glorify His name in Florence.
