Fast Growing Church, What do you mean?

I received a correspondence asking how we know that Element is 1 of 2 of the fastest growing church's in the St. Louis Area. This is how we have come to this conclusion. When we look at how many attenders have come in X amount of years, we don't know of any churches that have history of as high of attendance in as few years as we have been around.

Let me clarify. We don't look down on ANY church. God is doing amazing things in St. Louis. Many people say that St. Louis is the hardest city in St. Louis to plant a church. We have many great relationships with other thriving churches that are much bigger than us. We appreciate everything they have imparted to us with wisdom and generosity.

The other church that has similar growth trends in St. Louis is Journey Church, which is a GREAT Church that we have an awesome relationship with. they are doing great things and reaching a lot of people.

Hope this answers any questions. Leave your comments, I would love to hear what you think and answer any other questions. Thanks to all those fighting in the trenches to reach people. Thanks to all the kingdom minded churches that aren't concerned with taking people from other churches, but taking people out of "Satan's Church", out of darkness, and hopelessness. Stay strong, Lincoln said that true success is never giving up, and not deciding to quit. Let's stick together and reach this world for Christ.

Flock is a Flop

Okay, Flock is a great brower, it has great fast updating and social networking, but the user interface is not as intuative as Safari, so i'm going to stick with what updates with my phone and works seemlessly with OS X. Thats my 2 cents

Trying out Flock, thinking about starting a podcast

As much as i love Safari, I am thinking about trying Flock out for a season. Jody Early has used it and loved it for social networking, which i want to get better at. Plus I want to start a podcast, so i'm looking at reorganizing my digital life to make things like this happen. I'll post new projects as they come alive. Stay tuned

1 of the 2 Fastest Growing Church's in St. Louis

Last week on Saturday, Element Church had a free carnival, were we served over 2700 people. That is unheard of for a church less than 3 years old. With the move to our new facility, we have grown over 120 people, which means we have grown over 30%, in less than a month. Our growth patterns put us in the top 2 fastest growing churches in St. Louis. Why share all this? Because of the following principles

1. It's God. If you don't follow God, then it's labored in vein, so it's all based on God.
2. We do our part and God makes up the rest. We strive for excellence in everything, we do al we can, and God always comes through with what we can't
3. We believe in healthy thirds. 1/3 is younger, then middle aged, then senior. One third is non believers, new believers, then long time followers of Christ. We see young body pierced kids sitting next to grey haired couples at church every Sunday. A healthy church is a balanced church
4. We strive to be relevant, but form always follows function. We don't want to be to creative, where we lose the message. We always put function first, then form in our marketing, series development, Kids ministry, Youth, Visitors, etc...
