LifeChurch

This picture does not show the depth of cars, but I could not find the angle that would.  I'm only showing this because of how amazed I am at the popularity of this church. It was taken at 11a on Sunday morning, which is #3 of 6 services for this location on a Sunday.

About a year ago, there was not a LifeChurch in Broken Arrow, (which is the 3rd largest city in Oklahoma).  Fast forward one year, and LifeChurch in BA has 2 services on Saturday, and a whopping 6 services on Sunday, and still needs more! 

This picture shows cars lined from one end of the strip center to the other end, which is about .2 miles away.  It is a huge parking lot, and cars are parked everywhere in it, plus behind the building, plus the grass, plus overflowing into the adjacent QT parking lot.

Having been in church seemingly all my life, I am familiar with the term "sheep shuffling", but wow, how could 10,000 sheep be shuffled just into one building?  That is a ton of sheep for other BA churches to have lost when LifeChurch opened.  I believe that LifeChurch is also attracting 1,000's of new members to church that have never been in a church before.

I love LifeChurch.  The church roots are Methodist, but you would never know that unless digging deep into the history and message on their website.  The services are ultra-modern worship, friendly surroundings, inviting atmosphere, and Pastor Craig teaches real-relevant messages in what can be described as a non-denominational delivery.

For those of you that don't know about LifeChurch, well, it is one pastor (Craig) preaching the message in Edmond, and rebroadcast 1,000's of times a week to various campus'.

The success of this concept for church is astonishing.  Last week, Pastor Craig announced a new record with over 70,000 souls in attendance on campus', and a record 900 professions of faith during the invitation. 

That deserves a resounding Hallelujah!
