The Process | Part 1 (January 31, 2012)
Revolution’s process of Growth is designed to make it as simple as possible for you to Grow in Jesus. While we acknowledge that everyone has their own unique story, situations, and experiences, we believe we have designed a process to help everyone balance the tension of the Gospel along the path of true Christianity. Over the next few weeks and months, we will be rolling out more and more programs, ministries and classes to help us all grow, but we want to start with a general overview to get everyone on the same page. Revolution Church’s vision to Love Jesus and Grow People begins to flesh itself out when you look at our ministry strategies of growing deep in relationships and growing up in obedience. In this post we will take a closer look at our Grow Deep steps.
Our Grow Deep process is all about helping people get connected in healthy biblical relationships. The Grow Deep process can be broken down to 3 key steps or opportunities to establish and cultivate relationships at Revolution that are focused on the Gospel.
First Wednesday
This is where we gather once a month to celebrate baptism, communion and give everyone a chance to meet outside of the awesome frenzy that is Sunday’s at Revolution. Here you can connect with both staff, other attendees and members to begin growing relationships.
Community Groups
In homes all over Cherokee County and surrounding area, Revolution folks meet to discuss the message from Sunday, talk about life, and just have a good time with new friends. Group leaders encourage a welcoming environment and support continued growth for everyone in their group.
Serving Teams
Our teams that make Sunday and our other ministries happen at Revolution are truly remarkable. Not only do they help a church with an average attendance of 1000 happen every week, but they also are there for each other no matter what situation they face together in life.
So those are our steps of Growing Deep in relationships at Revolution. While we realize not everyone will do all 3, people who call Revolution home should strive to be involved in at least one to be in community and continue to grow in their walk with Jesus. God designed us all to be in relationships and this process can help us connect and grow while having Jesus as the foundation of every relationship.

Don’t Miss This Sunday (January 28, 2012)
I am going to be honest with you. I can’t believe all that God has done in 2011. My faith gets so small and I think there is no way God can handle a situation and then He comes through at exactly the right time. As we prepared for this weekend, I realized that that is what God does and has done it over and over again! He is trustworthy and is for us no matter where we are or where we came from. He is in love with us and will do whatever it takes to save us. What I am humbled by as I look back is the fact that he used our church, our voices, our sacrifice, our hands and feet to go after people that need to know that God has not forgotten them and He wants only good for them.
This weekend Pastor Jason is going to be giving a “State of the Church Address”. However, it’s not going to be like the one you saw on Tuesday:) You are going to be blown away at what God has done in 2011 and the vision God has for us in 2012 and beyond. This is going to be one of the best Sundays, not only attend, but to bring friends and family to see physical evidence of how God loves us and is actively pursuing us. I can’t wait to see our Revolution family this Sunday!
