Ok, I'll go first. Square footage, parking spaces, and greeting teams. Probably not what you were expecting right? Currently Great Lakes Church is waiting to hear back from the school district about the potential of meeting at a school. This school has the potential for our church to grow to upwards of 5,000 people and we would also be able to meet in one room all together instead of separate theaters. Why is this important? One reason, the community. We will be able to reach so many more single mom's, teens, marriages that are struggling and hurting people that simply need one thing, Jesus.
Great Lakes is great at making church a place that people can come and not feel intimidated. In short they make it easy to go to church. The volunteers are really the ones who make this possible. The smiling faces of the greeters in the parking lot waving even in the most brutal of Wisconsin winters. The people who work with kids and help parents feel at ease knowing their children are in a safe loving environment. A larger meeting place, no matter where it ends up being, will only allow more people in the community to experience church in this way.
These are the things that keep me awake at night. So pray with me that God opens doors for our church to find the perfect meeting place.
