Graystone Expansion???

There is so much going on at Graystone right now:

-The closing next Friday on the house and 7 acres on Ozora Rd

-Securing financing on the construction of the new building

-GSM (Graystone Student Ministry) is exploding (in a good way)

-Small groups kicking off this week (80% of adults are in small groups)

-Addressing overcrowding/space issues in our current location

-Enlisting an army of servant leaders/volunteers

-Oh, and all the normal duties of a Pastor/Staff Team of a growing church

Well, recently, Graystone has been approached about starting a satellite campus in St. Mary's, Georgia via live video feed. With all that is going on, we have not had too much time to think about expanding beyond our immediate community. But it sounds pretty exciting. We will have to pray about it and see where God leads. Even though I am a visionary, I am having a hard time thinking beyond building phase 1 (23,000 square foot multipurpose building) of our master plan on the 18 acres at Ozora Rd.

Please continue to pray for us to stay focused on God and His direction for our church.

God is good!
