I was talking to a guy who's going to be planting a church in Sugarcreek next Spring. He scheduled an appointment with me so he could just come and pique my brain about the area and get get a feel for how NewPointe does ministry. I asked him, "Why Sugarcreek?" His response was basically that his denomination's research indicated that there was an opportunity to reach people in the Sugarcreek area.
So, of course, I'm curious to know what this new church is going to do that NewPointe isn't already trying to do. Who's gonna be reached by this new church that we're not trying to reach? He said those are good questions and that he has talked to people in the area who have stopped going to church. He said he tells them, "Hey, if I lived here and was looking for a church, I'd go to NewPointe." He says the most common response he gets from those people is, "I'm not comfortable going to a big church like that."
Not comfortable going to a big church? Okay then...I guess you won't be comfortable in heaven then. 'Cause it's a lot bigger than NewPointe.
Is NewPointe too big? I don't think so. Hell's too big.
