Why I'm excited about FCC

I love Foothills Community Church! I have worshiped at many churches, but there is something very special about this place.

** People are being saved and lives are changing. I just left a memorial service for a man who gave his life to Christ at FCC 2 years ago. The common theme was about how his life had changed since that time!

** So far in 2010 we have had over 350 people give their lives to Christ at FCC! Read that again.... 350 people saved! God is at work.

** We have 2 campuses. one in Seneca, SC and another in Toccoa, GA. Both of our campuses are filled with awesome people!

** The people are genuine. I find it very refreshing when people can just be themselves. FCC is a place where you can take the mask off. We're all broken, messed-up people in need of God's grace.

** The worship is amazing. Every time I am at a service I can feel the Holy Spirit in a very real way.

** The Bible is proclaimed without compromise. As the Lead Pastor, I make no apologies for this. We believe that God's Word changes lives, so we stand on it's authority.

** There are so many unselfish people who serve God with their gifts, abilities and talents. Hundreds of people serve every week. We could not do what needs to be done without our Dream Team of volunteers! (If you are not serving, you are missing out)

** People are growing spiritually and connecting with one another. We have dozens of LIFE groups that meet in homes, on campus and on the ball fields and all sorts of other places. (If you have not connected through LIFE groups, sign-up will be in a couple of weeks for the Fall semester)

** We have the most phenomenal, hard-working, committed staff anywhere. These guys and gals are dedicated to Jesus and to the Church.

** We have an outward focus. We believe that God wants everyone to be saved, and it is our responsibility to share Christ with our friends.

** Our Children's ministry flat out rocks. Hundreds of kids every week are having fun and learning about Christ's love for them.

** Our Student Ministry is doing an incredible job of reaching teens for Christ. In the last year attendance has skyrocketed!

** Hundreds of people annually are being baptized! In fact on Sunday September the 5th at 4:30pm we will be having our next baptism. We are going old school--- it will be held at Biggerstaff Retreat center, and we'll also have a huge covered dish dinner and games and other stuff!

** We have an awesome Care team that helps families with benevolence, during times of bereavement, and during crisis. We have prayer teams and meal teams that deliver meals to people, we have people who help those with marital and family difficulties, and teams that are serving the needs of our community.

I could go on and on, but if you attend Foothills you already know all of this--- but if you don't, why don't you give it a shot. We would love to have you!
