North Point Church is a busy and exciting place to be right now...even in the summer months. And if you have noticed, North Point Church has been growing. Our mission to "Follow Jesus in the Company of Friends, For the Sake of Others and to the Glory of God" is being fulfilled as part of Jesus' mandate for us to call and form disciples.
In the last three years alone, our average Sunday worship attendance has increased by over 35% and our warm congregation welcomes new visitors each week. A full church on Sunday feels good and your singing voices under Mike's leadership fill our sanctuary. Church growth professionals have found that when your worship space feels 70% full, it is time to start discerning how to accommodate growth. I call this the 'Elevator Effect'. Social Psychologists found that when you are waiting for an elevator and the doors open, a 70-80% elevator is when you are likely to say, "I'll wait for the next one"! The same thing happens in churches researchers have found.
Our Session has asked that we form an 'Exploratory Team' to discuss and make some recommendations about our growth. This team has just started meeting and you'll be hearing more from them as we pray, collect input from the congregation, and discern God's leading for us at North Point Church. We would ask for your prayers over the course of the next several months. We appreciate each of our church members and friends.
