I took Sunday off and visited Five Points Fellowship Church,
and I got to spend the day with Dean Herman their Pastor. Five Points
is currently running between 600 and 700 people in the old Easley
Colony theater downtown. It was amazing seeing how they have
transformed that theater into a church – the way they do their music,
and their children’s rooms. They have taken what they had and used
everything to the best of their ability to reach people. It was a great
experience.
I got to spend time with their staff, and we did what we call “walk-throughs” which is where we go to each other’s churches and just walk around as any visitor would, so that we can let each other know what their new comers are experiencing when they come to church. We do this, because an “outsider” can see things and recognize issues, where a person that sees the same thing every day won’t notice it.
I was a fantastic experience. Dean does a great job, and is an incredible communicator, and he is ALWAYS wanting to get better – always wanting to improve in order to reach more people.
They do a great job, and it made my day to see them in action.
