[USER=14203]@ElephantStomp[/USER] one last thought here.
Through a belief, through a church, we have the ability to make a change. We are making a change.
I think the new Cane Bay campus makes the 14th. I mentioned to Darren earlier, the first services has 800+. I'm guessing there are 15,000 or more now.
A really neat story about how it all started...literally, in an apartment's clubhouse. I think it was 70 people that first day: the average size of a church today. 1988, I think.
You mentioned the SBC in another conversation. Are you familiar with the ARC?
As I mentioned, they've started 14 or 15 campuses here. They are over 600 around the globe. Everyone with the goal of having a "Dream Center."
We are a cult. We aren't small. We aren't sinister. What we do isn't strange. But we do have a religious devotion toward a particular object. In this case, community.
