Rock Bridge had our second 'night of worship' tonight - and it was amazing.
I'm so thankful to God for the people He has put on our worship teams - not only an incredible collection of talent but an amazing assortment of people in love with Him!
This just keeps getting better and better.

Ever Closer!
On Monday we had our second Rock Bridge Chatsworth informational meeting and it was AMAZING. I am in awe of the people God is putting in our midst as we seek to help grow His kingdom in Chatsworth.
To recap some news shared on Monday:
1. The Holy Spirit is clearly leading the amazing process of getting Rock Bridge Chatsworth launched!
2. We are negotiating to lease the former Harris-Sutton Chevrolet Building. Appalachian Bank has been wonderful to work with us and we are sure God has led us to this point! More soon.
3. We originally discussed a January 2010 launch of Rock Bridge Chatsworth. With the potential to be in a building sooner than we expected we are discussing a September launch. A few key items need to be completed to make this work but God seems to be leading this way. More soon!
4. While the Holy Spirit leads us, we have a role to play. We took some time to pray and move toward action. We had lots of folks sign up in specific roles such as host team, kids team, worship, students and more! People are responding to God's call and it is amazing to be part of.
5. I announced some BHAP's [big hairy audacious prayers]; Launch with a total of 500! [250 that are currently out of church!]; 25 New Small Group Leaders ready to start groups for all those people!
God has proven that a big ask can mean a big answer [the Chevy building!] and I ask that you join me in these prayers!

The Journey Begins...
Rock Bridge is coming to Murray County and on Wednesday, May 13th we held our first informational meeting in Chatsworth. We met at 6:pm for dinner and details at the First National Bank of Chatsworth Community Activities Center. It is awesome to see this first round of people as God has already started calling people to be part of this amazing move of God! So how did we get here you ask?
It's difficult to say when the journey to Rock Bridge Chatsworth began. Maybe it was in 2002 when Matt and Beth Evans were obedient to the call of God to start a new church in Dalton Georgia. More likely however, it was quite some time before that. Whenever it was, it is clear the path has been paved by God.
I can look back and see the hand of God in bringing me to this place. Saved in 1981, 10 years of volunteer ministry service with Young Life and then a move to Chatsworth to serve as the YL Area Director. My arrival to Rock Bridge in 2004 as Young Life in the Dalton area was closing marked the first time I heard Chatsworth mentioned as a place Rock Bridge felt God leading.
In 2007 while volunteering in the RBCC office I began to sense God calling me to offer myself to join the RBCC staff and by April of '07 I was part of this amazing team. I started as an interim kids director with some part time work in my eventual job as associate student minister working alongside Beth. A year later or so I was asked to consider once again splitting my time with the kids team, writing large group curriculum and after a few months it became clear that both ministries needed a full time position and after some prayer I knew it was time to dive into kids ministry full time with our childrens minister, Amanda Welch.
Now, God has opened the door for one more move. I'm working to finish well in my current role and on July first I'll officially begin my journey as the Campus Pastor in Chatsworth. I'm beyond excited, a bit nervous and sometimes scared... just enough to move me to an amazing level of dependence on Jesus.
