Staff planning retreat

Today we had a staff planning retreat up in Clayton, Ga at the home of one of our members. It was an incredible location to meet. What a view!
Anyway, the reason for the meeting was to make sure we were all on the same page in our preparation for moving into the new building. Generally when a church moves into a new building there is a sizable attendance jump (when we moved into our current building we grew by nearly 50% in the first couple of months!) No matter how many plans you make to compensate for the new growth, it seems like you still aren't ready. So this time we are trying to be proactive by implementing new systems and structures.
We are also planning on a complete dry run service from start to finish with all the volunteers in place, prior to our move-in date.
These are very exciting times here at Foothills Community Church.
