We love our church.  The leadership is top shelf.  The pastors are talented, dedicated, and grounded in humility and God’s priorities.  The “production value” (that is to say, the professionalism and impact) of each worship service is nothing short of stunning when considering that 90%+ of the production crew and worship talent are volunteers.  And not just at one location, but at 9 locations serving over 15,000 worshippers each Sunday.  Each and every worship experience is a personal day of renewal and refocus for me.

More than anything, Kathy and I love being a part of this unique church which strives first and foremost to meet it’s mission:  “We exist to inspire life, share life and give life because Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”   John 10:10.  These are not mere words, but words backed up by action.  Check these 2015 stats:  Avg. kids/students attendance = 4,009; 7 Habitat homes initiated through 300 volunteers over 8,400 volunteer hours;  17 global teams served 11 countries via missions; 25,250 shoe boxes were given this December via “Operation Christmas Child”; 40,174 shoes were collected from church families and provided to Haiti; $4,605,000 was given away in our community and in other parts of the world.

These are huge numbers.  However, numbers are just numbers and can often overshadow the true mission.  At the root of every action, experience, and statistic is this important vision:  One Matters – 12Stone Church exists to reach the lost, serve the least, and raise up leaders.  This is one of the things that is most impressive to me – the leadership never seems to lose site of this.

I am forever grateful to be a part of it all.
