Richmond Road Campus Blog

People have been asking me lately, “What will the Richmond Road campus be like? How would it differ from our other campuses?” Here are some of the things I share:

As on our other campuses, you’ll find: 

• friendly people there!
• people with a passion for serving the community there!
• fantastic Children’s and Youth programs, in wonderful environments there.
• people coming Christ and being baptized there!
• Jon teaching live via large screen projection broadcast from Harrodsburg Road.
• identical worship times.
• familiar and loved worship leaders and musicians there, live.
• the same Core Values and Mission there.
• opportunities to be in Life Groups there.
• places to serve, volunteer, grow and get involved there.

Everything that makes our two existing campuses vibrant and alive…you’ll find on Richmond Road…except the concrete barriers in the parking lot at Harrodsburg Road. If you like concrete barriers, don’t go to Danville or Richmond Road! (just kidding!)

954 people have committed thus far to attend the new campus! We’re looking for 500 more to sign up before Easter.

Note: WE HAVE CHANGED THE DATE FOR OUR Richmond Road Vision Night TO TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 6:30 in BUILDING B on the Harrodsburg Road Campus. You won’t want to miss this night. Put it on your calendar today!

The floor for the worship center and stage have been poured. Most of the framing for the Children’s area is up inside the Dillard’s Building and drywall hanging is underway. The new roof on the Dillard’s Building is almost complete and the roof will be put on the worship building during the month of March. The pace is accelerating–much more to come!

Blessings! 
 

The launch of the Richmond Road campus is less than a year away!

We are looking for 2000 people to help us pioneer our second multisite launch by attending the Richmond Road campus.

If you and your family would like to be a part of this new campus, please let us know by completing the short form below!

 

In 1990, when the Hubble telescope was launched on the back of the space shuttle Discovery, It was the most powerful and expensive telescope ever made.  Its primary mirror measured eight feet in diameter and weighed 2000 pounds.  Scientists were beside themselves with excitement over the possibilities.

But when they got it up there, 353 miles above the earth, they made a terrifying discovery:  the 1.5 billion dollar telescope didn’t work!  Everything was fuzzy.   Nothing was clear.   It had to be repaired.  

Thus in December, 1993, they sent a crew on the space shuttle Endeavor and fitted the mirror with corrective optics.   Since that time the Hubble has sent us tens of thousands of astounding and breathtaking photos from outer space.

I share that story to illustrate this:  Power is important and size is important...but FOCUS is everything! Nothing significant ever happens for any period of time without focus.

Over at the new campus these days we are focused on the following:
 

• Mailing out 1,121 letters asking people who live in the area to  to make a commitment to attend the new campus

• Resubmitting our Master Development Plan to reflect changes that have been necessitated by cost reductions, including a reconfiguration of the pond.

• Laying out a plan to recruit and train volunteers in the Spring.

• Begin planning for a Vision Night for the new campus on April 18th

• Framing, electrical and HVAC in the Dillard’s Building is nearly complete.  Drywall will begin to go up within 10 days.

• Removing and replacing the roof on the Dillard’s building—nearly halfway there.

• Preparing the worship center for concrete slab to be poured within three weeks

Pray for us as we continue to stay focused!   Pray especially that our primary focus will be on hearing well from the Father and carrying forth His plans and purposes.
