INformation About our Formation 25

INFORMATION:

• We had 22 people at church last Sunday.
• Tithes and offerings are very low right now.
• Mike Rich has stepped up to help as church “Treasurer”
• We had 4 visitors with us last Sunday!

We are starting a video-based small group study on Sunday’s. It’s called “Just Walk Across the Room”. Visit our website for some details. This study is important to our church plant because we are convinced that we’re called to be disciples who make disciples… and making disciples often starts with a walk across a room.

We will be meeting at the Rich’s home AND the Green’s home this Sunday at 4pm for the bible studies. If you’re interested in coming visit the website and you’ll find maps to each house.

FORMATION:
We will be doing our first mass mailing (10,000 postcards!) in February in order to get the word out about the existence of Axis. On February 10th we will be hanging 3,000 doorhangers. If you’re in town, we could REALLY use your help (1:00pm at Kastner Intermediate School). Can you help mobilize a group of people to help??

One of our biggest needs right now is what I’m calling a “Connect Team Leader”. I think it’s crucial to our success to have a strong leader that can help the process of connecting people from their first visit until they are “part” of the community. Stats say that our best chances of growing is when we can take good care of the people that DO show up… funny there are stats like that, it just seems logical to me.

I think we are getting better and better at building a genuine community. Deep, meaningful relationships take time to develop, yet I can see this happening slowly, but surely.

We need more people! We are still trying to gather 50 ‘core’ people to help us get this thing off the ground. Of that 50 people, we need 100% that are willing to contribute financially and practically… it’s a lot of work to “do” church.
