I killed a coackroach

There is a right way to do it. And I know just the guy to teach it to you. His new book will explain it all. I'm lovin' it. I don't like to read for extended periods of time (my ADD won't allow it) and this book is set up just for me.

I've been following Tony for 4 years now. I've met with him face to face, I've watched football on his couch, I've ridden in the infamous Audi, but I bet he doesn't know how much his ministry has shaped mine. His insights and strategies have helped me to grow in my leadership. Over the last six months, I have been stretched, challenged, and led by one of the nation's top strategic thinkers. Thanks Tony for your ministry and keep it up. 'The Church' needs it.

If you are in leadership of any kind- buy this book!

Big

For months I've been talking abut something called "Big". And it is. We've been meeting, planning, dreaming, and scheming for a long time. I will give more details as they arise. Plans are being made even as I write. More meetings tomorrow to plan. But here's some info. Big is the next location of Brickcity Community Church. Right now it's just a huge empty building.

You'll hear a lot about it in the coming months but here are a few facts.

• The total space is 60,000 square feet (that's 8.3 times our current facility)
• We are planning to open with a 750-800 seat auditorium and launch with two services from day one
• We will only owe about 50% of the value when we move in (and that's before we raise any money through commitments)
• We are kicking around a VERY innovative way of raising money for this project. Stay tuned, you may want to get involved no matter where you live!
• We will have the most innovative children's services of any church that I have ever seen.
• Our current building is for sale. Interested or know someone who is? Contact me.
• We are planning to move in around September 2009 (now that's aggressive)
• Most importantly- thousands will begin to follow Jesus through ministry at BCC.
