Leadership Roundtable

Yesterday my worship/media pastor and I went to Oasis Church for a leadership roundtable. The Oasis was listed as the 34th fastest growing church in the country last year. It was great spending time with Troy Shaw, his staff, and 15 or so other pastors.

You got to love Troy's heart to just "love on people". He is strong about his vision and committed to the mission God has for them. They are doing an amazing job. The three sessions were short on teaching and designed to make the time together a true round table. It was great hearing from Troy, and we got a lot out of the dialogue. I look forward to the next round table in a few months.

I know the pastor of Church Alive, Wayne Pugh. They currently are leasing the facility that the Oasis used before they built. After the roundtable we went to see this facility. To see where Oasis was at and where they are now in just a little under four years is mind blowing.

Yesterday served to expand my vision of what is possible. If you are an EMC-er this is going to be a great year. Own the the thought for yourself that together we can radically reach the people of our communities. If we are going to do something significant for God and for our communities than we need to be significantly committed. People are lost, marriages are struggling, addiction holds many, people need a growing relationship with Jesus. This year apply your time, talents, and finances to the cause of Christ and let's dominate this area for Christ!
