Some thoughts on the near future of Momentum

For the past two years the highest percentage of people who have made Momentum home have been those who were unchurched or had not been regularly attending church for a long time. That is why we exist and do all that we do. Momentum is an exciting place to be a part of and as we grow larger more and more people are going to want to be a part of this movement.

That sounds great and it is, but I just want to let everyone know that we are not going to shift from what God has called us to do. As we have passed the 200 mark and prepare to reach 400 people in the near future we will be tempted to become safe, predictable, and spread thin in order too minister to "everyone's needs". If we do that then we will miss out on the reason why God birthed us and is blessing us.

We will remain laser focused on what God has called us to do. Momentum will continue to attract the lost and disconnected, but I know churched people looking for something fresh and new will be drawn in as well. That is fine, but just know from the start that we aren't here for you...we are here to help those disconnected from God become fully devoted followers of Christ. You will be challenged and you will grow, but only if you find yourself embracing the call of God that is upon Momentum Church. If not you'll probabely sound a lot like this post written by one of Momentum's Favorites, Perry Noble.

Momentum Church, we exist to help people move forward on their journey with God, purpose and friends. we do that through Sunday experiences, Kids and Student ministry, Journey Groups, and outreach. That's it. That's who we are. Jump in and take part in what God has used and will use in Cherokee County to bring hundreds and someday thousands to faith and growth in Christ.

Thanks for allowing me the joy of pastoring such a hungry for God and passionate for people, group!

Love ya'll
