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.
