Counting down til September

In case you haven't heard Foothills Community Church will be adding a 2nd location in Toccoa, GA. Our plan is to hold our first service sometime in September of 2008, which means between now and then there are a WHOLE LOT of things to do.
Here's what's going on right now. We have 2 new LIFE groups that are starting up in Toccoa. Paul Carr, our Connections Pastor will be working directly with these groups in hopes of multiplying them in the near future.
We are just beginning the process of interviewing for the Campus Pastor position. This person will be responsible for overseeing operations at the Toccoa location. In addition to the Campus Pastor we will be interviewing for a worship leader and children's director in the next few months.
In the next couple of months you will be hearing a lot more about the next location on Sundays. I want to keep this in the forefront of everyone's minds.
I will also be asking for people who have a pioneering spirit to make a commitment to helping us get started over there. We will need tons of leaders and volunteers to help pull this thing off.
Here is how this will work. On Sunday mornings everything in Toccoa will be live (music, children's ministries, refreshments, etc.)with the exception of the message. The message will be captured at our Seneca location and then played on high quality video projection. I know that sounds weird, but believe it or not, it works! I went to a church that was using this technology recently and within a couple of minutes I forgot that the Pastor was not there in the room. It was amazing. If you think about it, most of the time you probably watch the screens during the service anyway. The Campus pastor's responsibility would be to welcome the people, make any announcements, and to connect the people. Basically he is the "face" of Foothills in Toccoa
I have many Pastor friends that are doing this and the results are amazing.
Would you begin to pray about how you might get involved with this new initiative?
Together we can accomplish our mission to reach those people who are far from God!
