good problems

I’ve been involved in lots of meetings lately where we’ve been discussing strategy for sustaining the tremendous growth that NewPointe has been experiencing. It’s amazing to think that, barely two years into the new building, we’re running out of space. The kids’ areas are nearly full. The auditorium is getting more and more crowded. The parking lot and traffic flow is getting more and more challenging.

Consider this:

Attendance last Sunday: 2, 990

Attendance on the same Sunday last year: 2,392

That’s a 25% increase.

In fact, NewPointe’s attendance numbers have nearly doubled since moving in to the new facility (26 months ago).

And we know, these are all good problems to have. We’re very thankful for problems like this. And we feel very challenged. We’ve been meeting in order to try find creative solutions to these “growing pains.”

All options are being considered. What I’m asking for from you is prayer. Would you please pray that as leaders we would make well-informed, Spirit-led decisions? Would you also begin to pray about what role God would have you play as we move forward? We don’t know for sure what that looks like (we’re still hammering out the details) but as we move forward, we’re going to need prayer, support, more volunteers, and a can-do approach everyone connected to NewPointe.

Good problems. No easy solutions.
