State of the Church - April 2012

In case you missed it, we had a wonderful lunch after church on Sunday and I took a few minutes to share the current health of Rock Bridge Chatsworth as of March 31.

• We have exceeded our budget in giving! [Rousing celebration!]
• Not a reason to 'slow down' but a chance to keep moving forward
• We have spent less than budget! 
• Not being 'cheap', just wise stewards working to be ready for God's next thing
• We have >63% of adults in small groups with new groups forming! 
• This is excellent and has us well on our way to our 80% goal
• We have >70%  of the congregation serving on a regular basis
• Our evangelistic culture is on the rise - we are inviting our friends and they are coming. 
• Keep it up, personal invitation and prayer are the most effective ways to see people get involved
• Attendance is up 11% from the previous quarter.
• Preview for next update - it continues to be up this quarter
• Baptism sign-ups are up - and two have been saved 
• That trend has continued into this quarter

Bottom line... Rock Bridge Chatsworth is HEALTHY and God is working in our midst!
