LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-10-15T11:57:00.002-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we saw 12 more people confess Jesus as Lord, God, and King! We have now seen almost 200 people give their lives to Christ in just 9 months!!! That blows my mind!

Thanks to everyone who hung around to help flip the room at the Convention Center. We were able to get everything loaded out in record time and served the facility staff in a BIG way. A volunteer told me that as they walked through the room next door to us last week, they could tell that the Convention Center staff was listening to the message as they worked. I am so grateful to do life with people who want to be salt and light!!

THIS SUNDAY we have a very special guest, Matthew Barnett, from the Dream Center in LA. You will not want to miss this weekend!

We will be passing out invite cards this weekend again. Be sure to pick some up, pray over them, and look for the opportunities God provides to use them.

LAST SUNDAY 9 people confessed Jesus as Savior, Lord and King! That is so exciting. Good job inviting people! Keep it up!!

THIS SUNDAY we wrap up the Revelation series, and I can not wait to see how God moves. You do not want to miss it! Just giving you a heads up that you will definitely hear about it if you aren't there.

We are having the service in Ballroom A, and KidSpring will be upstairs. Look for the parking signs and flags to direct you where to go. Load-in will happen at 4am for production and at 6am for KidSpring/Guest Services. We have a little more to set up tomorrow than we do on a regular Sunday. So, a few extra hands in the morning or some people to hang around after the 11:15am service would be GREAT!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-09-17T09:39:00.004-04:00

LAST SUNDAY the opening statement of the message was, "Religion and Reputation always prohibit Recognition of and Submission to Jesus". That is so true and SO GOOD! It's ALL about Jesus and He is enough, regardless!

It was so amazing to see all the people standing at the end of the service, acknowledging the fact of a "Next Step" that they needed to take. For a couple of weeks now I have been praying for one guy in particular and to see him stand at the end of the second service made my month!

THIS SUNDAY is the second to last week in the Revelation series. Come expecting more from these last two Sundays then all the previous ones combined!

We are in Exhibit Hall B this week and KidSping will be right above us upstairs. Load-in will happen at 4am. The temperatures are much cooler so you will probably not even sweat! Most of the time we are done by 5:30am. So, you can come and be home in time for breakfast or a quick nap before the 9:15 or 11:15 service.

DON'T FORGET!!! Wear your favorite football team colors Sunday. It will have something to do with Revelation and the message.

We have Ownership Class Sunday at 2:30pm. You can sign up here; http://www.newspring.cc/nextsteps/commit/ groups are kicking off this week, and you can sign up for those as well: https://newspring.infellowship.com/GroupSearch

The past 8 months have been some of the best I have ever lived. It is a joy and a privilege to do life with everyone at NewSpring Charleston. Let's not keep this to ourselves because people around us are searching for what we have whether they know it or not! Keep making the "Holy City" HOLY each and every day! Love you guys!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

Hey NewSpring Charleston!

I am so excited to announce the launch of our groups for the fall semester. Groups launch week is starting Sunday, September 18th! NewSpring groups are an incredible way to have Christian community, learn the Bible together, serve together, and care for one another. I am praying for God to move in and through groups this semester in an awesome way and I hope that YOU will be a part of it! To search and sign-up for a group that is near you please go to: https://newspring.infellowship.com/GroupSearch

LAST SUNDAY and the one before were interesting, to say the least. We looked at sexual immorality in the Church. Perry did a blog post this week that provides some great take-aways from the past two Sundays. Check it out... http://www.perrynoble.com/2011/09/07/seven-things-to-keep-in-mind-in-regards-to-sexual-sin/

My wife and I had our neighbors attend for the first time last Sunday. We have been inviting them for some time and to see them both walk in last Sunday made my month!

We also had a guy confess Jesus as Savior and Lord at the 11:15am! That never gets old!!

I am so looking forward to THIS SUNDAY and the following two weeks of this series. If you have not been able to make it, I hope you can get to the Charleston Campus this Sunday. If you have been inviting someone and they haven't made it, don't give up!

This week we will be in Ballroom B and KidSpring will be upstairs. KidSpring will be in a place we have never been before so be sure to follow the signs and look for the welcome flags for your best place to enter.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

2011-09-03T17:01:00.006-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we continued the REVELATION series. We saw 4 more people confess Jesus as Lord and Savior!! That will never get OLD!

We also saw our largest number of volunteers serve last week. Thank you to everyone who makes Sunday happen. If you are not involved and you are an Owner of NewSpring Church something is not getting done. If you are not an Owner our next class is September 18th at 2:30pm. You can sign up here http://www.newspring.cc/nextsteps/commit/

THIS SUNDAY we will continue the REVELATION series and as Perry tweeted earlier today, "Can't WAIT for tomorrow as we talk about 'Sex In The Church Part Two!' Expecting/praying for salvation and freedom! BRING somebody!"

We will be in the PAC(Performing Arts Center)tomorrow. If you do not have kids the entrance off of Montague will get you to the closest parking.

Load-in is happening at 4am! Come join us if you would like. You will be home and back in bed by 6am!! Then you can come to the service, having already served. Load-out will happen immediately following the 11:15 service.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY was simply,"WOW!!"
At all campuses we saw an incredible work done by the Holy Spirit. By the end of the day we saw 490 people come forward to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior! In Charleston we had 20 people come forward and 1 person get saved Sunday afternoon at Ownership class. That brings us to almost 150 decisions for Christ in our first seven months. That blows my mind! Thank you to everyone who stepped up and invited someone to church on Sunday. If the person you invited didn't come, DON'T GIVE UP! God never gave up on you!

THIS SUNDAY let's do the same thing we did last Sunday. My prayer is that what we saw last Sunday would never get old to us, but at the same time it would be "normal" for us to invite like we did last week!

Load-in is happening at 4am and we would love to have you join us. If you have time after the 11:15 service, please hang around for load-out.

This Sunday we are in Ballroom A & B! I look forward to the day where we need ALL three Ballrooms. We are making the "Holy City" truly holy one Sunday and life at a time!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

Serve One / Attend One

2011-08-25T15:37:00.008-04:00

We have seen so much happen in the short 7 months we have been a NewSpring Campus. Over the past seven months many things have changed and gotten better. As Owners have bought into the value that SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE, we have been able to see and do things we couldn't in our first few months. For that, I am so grateful!!!

Since there is always room for improvement, we are going to intentionally make a shift on our campus. In order to be able to serve the people attending our campus better as well as improve the spiritual health of those serving, I would like for our volunteers to begin to "SEVER ONE/ATTEND ONE"! For one service we are there to corporately worship and ask God to speak to us personally. For the other, our mindset is all about serving. I want you to buy into the core value that SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE and we will have an opportunity for you to serve with whatever time you have available. However, a majority of our volunteers will have to SERVE ONE/ATTEND ONE in order to accommodate for our continued growth. By committing to this on Sunday mornings, it will help you to get the full experience of our worship service. It will also allow people who are attending the service to get the full experience of being served instead of having the majority of our volunteers already in the service.

Please begin to let us know if you are available to SERVE ONE/ATTEND ONE as soon as possible. This is going to help us in refining our Guest Services and in fully carrying out those volunteer responsibilities. I am excited for the community that this will create in our volunteer teams as well.

Hi, I'm Caleb Jordan and I'm so honored and excited to be a part of NewSpring Charleston as the Fuse Student Ministry Director. I was born and raised in Florence, SC until I graduated high school and moved to Clemson, SC to begin my college career. My freshman year I began visiting NewSpring and shortly after I got involved with the student ministry there as a small group leader. I transferred from Clemson and graduated from Anderson University with a B.A. in Communication shortly after.

I've always loved the beach, and when the opportunity to move to Charleston presented itself, it took little thought to get me to relocate to the coast. After being involved at the Charleston campus for a few short weeks and getting to know my pastor, Andy, there wasn't anything that could tell me I wasn't home.

I love hanging out with students, investing in leaders, and seeing people come to know the love and grace of Jesus Christ. I came on staff at NewSpring in August, and I can't wait to see how God does big things in Charleston through middle and high school students.

FUSE meets every Wednesday 7pm at the NewSpring Charleston Office (2093 Executive Hall Road, Charleston, SC 29407)

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-08-20T08:33:00.002-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we looked at the Church in Ephesus. We learned 3 things we need to value from the letter to that church. The thing I believe God was saying to me was to be more obsessed with REPENTANCE and not REPUTATION! That's HUGE! I hope you were there, and I hope that you showed up expecting to hear from God.

Sunday was a BIG day in the attendance category for us. We broke our launch Sunday attendance with 612 people. I celebrate that because each number represents a soul with eternity at stake!! However, God is not just GREAT and AMAZING because we had 612 people. He was GREAT and AMAZING before last Sunday and will continue to be so, no matter what. He is GREAT and AMAZING for just who He is and not only what He does! I don't know about you, but I've learned the hard way to remember that!!

THIS SUNDAY is going to be our BEST one yet! I'm not just saying that; I am believing that and I need you you to believe and pray that also. We have been praying and asking God who we need to invite and for Him to do what He wants to do this weekend. I am asking that we see 800 people show up to our Campus and that He would bring 80 people from death to life! That will not happen if we are not inviting people we know who need to know Jesus. I am praying specifically for my neighbors to come this weekend. We have invited them to church before, but we are not giving up. I am also praying for Sue who waited on me at a restaurant earlier this week. I invited her and I'm praying that she makes it.

There is still time. Who are you inviting?

We are meeting in Ballroom B and part of Ballroom C. Load-in will be at 4am. You should join us! We really do have a great time and for the last few weeks we've been done by 5:30am. So, you could still get home and catch a nap before church starts. If you can't come early, hang around after the 11:15 service to help load-out!

Ownership Class is also this Sunday at 2:30pm at the office. (2093 Executive Hall Road, Charleston, SC 29407.) If you want to know more about the church or are interested in joining, Ownership Class is where that can happen. See you there!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

NewSpring Charleston there is a lot going on....

WHO ARE YOU BRINGING WITH YOU SUNDAY?

2011-08-16T08:13:00.002-04:00

One of our CORE values in Found People Find People! This Sunday August 21st we are asking you to do just that. We are going to present the Gospel and ask them to respond. I am praying that 80 people in Charleston will crossover from death to life! I am also in prayer, asking God each day to show me who I need to invite. Last year leading up to this same Sunday emphasis we did an Evangelism Seminar. We were not a campus at that point so many of you might know this is available to you. You might also have thoughts that it's just to hard to live out this CORE value and I know this will help with those thoughts as well.

CHECK IT OUT AND GET TO WORK!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-08-13T08:21:00.003-04:00

LAST SUNDAY was, from a numeric standpoint, our biggest to date in almost ever statistical category. We had our largest non-launch non-holiday attendance, largest number of volunteers, and largest number of kids in KidSpring!

All week I've been praying and thinking that if that's what we saw on August 7th, then I can't wait for the 21st. Don't forget to continue praying for people to invite. Yesterday I was on the phone with a guy in our church whose son passed away this week. We were reflecting on his son's memorial service and he said, "I've been able to invite a bunch of people for the 21st!" I pray that you are viewing your circumstances in the same light, as an opportunity to bring people closer to Jesus!

THIS SUNDAY we are continuing the series we started last week call REVELATION! If you missed last week you will want to go to www.newspring.cc and check it out.

We are in the Ballroom this week and KidSpring will be upstairs.

Don't forget Fuse starts this Wednesday! I'll post more info on this in the next couple of days. I am so excited for this Wednesday!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

2011-08-06T11:19:00.004-04:00

LAST SUNDAY was, in my opinion, the BEST service we have had at NewSpring Charleston. It was so great seeing the excitement in all the students and volunteers who went to the Gauntlet. Last Sunday sure didn't look like a church that doesn't have a youth group yet!

Speaking of that, we will be starting FUSE in Charleston August 17th at the NewSpring Charleston office. Stay tuned for a post specifically giving details and information about FUSE.

THIS SUNDAY we are starting a new series called REVELATION. I am so looking forward to diving into this book of the Bible and seeing what God has to say to each of us individually and collectively as a church body.

We will be in the PAC this Sunday for the worship service and KidSpring will be upstairs. We will be loading in at 4am.

Continue to be praying for the services on August 21st and who you need to invite. I am so PUMPED about how we will be doing the invitation on that Sunday!

Also, we have our next Ownership Class on the 21st at 2:30pm. We had 27 people join this past Thursday and already have close to 30 signed up for the 21st. God is laying the foundation for the Fall! GET READY, NEWSPRING CHARLESTON!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-07-30T10:54:00.006-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we started a two week series called Stories. Our video team and Perry did an incredible job by intertwining a message with the stories of life change. As Perry says weekly, "THAT NEVER GETS OLD!" In fact, I believe if you show me a church that doesn't have any stories then you've got a church in decline and dying.

Sunday also proved to be another scratch-your-head-summer-Sunday at the Charleston campus. We had our third largest regular Sunday attendance, our highest KidSpring attendance, largest number of first-time visitors, and highest number of "first-serves" (Owners serving for the first time)!! WOW! That is not supposed to happen in the summer. I cannot wait to see what is in store. The BEST IS YET TO COME. God is so true to His Word. I have been praying and will continue to pray Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." He is answering that prayer. The key is verse 21. If we ever take the "glory" we will not see his power continue to work within us! That's really important!

We saw 3 people surrender their lives to Christ last Sunday as well. That's 114 since January 9th!! THAT NEVER GETS OLD!

THIS SUNDAY we will wrap up the series, Stories. I really love hearing stories of life change and how God is working in our church. I could hear or see one every week.

We will be in Ballroom A this week. So, follow the parking signs and look for the welcome flags for your closest entry point for KidSpring and the Ballroom.

We have Ownership Class this Thursday, August 4th at 6:30pm at the Charleston Office: 2093 Executive Hall Road, 29407. Click here for more information http://www.newspring.cc/nextsteps/commit/

Also, don't forget August 21st we are asking everyone to begin inviting people for that Sunday. Pray and ask that God would set up opportunities for you to invite someone that by God's grace can end up having a story like one of the stories we've been watching.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

Night of Vision

2011-07-20T09:26:00.007-04:00

ALL OWNERS OF NEWSPRING CHARLESTON:

You are invited to be a guest at the Night of Vision this Friday night, July 22nd from 6:30 to 8:30. Dinner will be provided as a part of the vision event on our campus. We would love to have you join us! There will be no childcare on Friday so that all volunteers can participate. We will be meeting in Ballroom C of the Charleston Area Convention Center.

The following is from Perry's blog this week:

"SO excited about the volunteer event THIS FRIDAY NIGHT!!! I’m BEGGING God to absolutely set us on FIRE that night! (If you want to read ahead and prepare for that evening then I would recommend reading John 2-4.) I cannot WAIT to announce the two new locations the Lord has led us to!!!"

Looking forward to seeing you there!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-07-16T09:14:00.003-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we continued our On The Farm series and Perry answered some more of our most frequently asked questions. One of the questions he addressed was very pertinent to what we do in Charleston and that was regarding why we do multi-site the way we do it. I thought Perry did an incredible job of giving us some great statistical proof to back up what we feel is not simply great creative thinking, but the results of following divine direction. Every campus is growing, more people are watching on a screen than live, and the campus growing by the smallest percentage is the one at which Perry is physically present. These were points made to show that it's not about Perry (just like it's not about you and me)! It's all about Jesus!!!

For me personally, I love the way we do church. I love the role I get to play. I love being the Charleston Campus Pastor. Perry does an incredible job each week communicating God's truth, and I get to be more involved on the ground in the lives of our people. I love that part of my job. It is because someone took time to pour into me that I am where I am at today. I thank God that I get to daily try and do that for someone else as I lead this Campus.

You can watch last week's message here...http://www.newspring.cc/series/on-the-farm/

THIS SUNDAY we will wrap up the On the Farm series. I am so excited for what this final week of this series can mean for our campus going forward. My prayer is that this Sunday will be an impactful Sunday and will give us a foundation for what is going to be an incredible Fall! I believe we will look back at this week and say, "That was the week that helped get ___(BLANK)____started". Be sure you are here for this Sunday. Invite a friend, neighbor, coworker, or someone you meet today to church this weekend.

Load-in is happening at 4am on Sunday morning and Load-out will be immediately following the 11:15 service. We would love to have you show up early or hang around after to help!!

We have Ownership Class this Sunday, July 17th at 2:30pm. You can sign up and get more information here...http://www.newspring.cc/nextsteps/commit/

LAST SUNDAY KidSpring takeover happened!! It was incredible to see our KidSpring volunteers run an entire weekend after just five months. I was blown away by the effort and energy put in to make last weekend possible. Thanks for being the CHURCH, KidSpring!

I loved being able to sing and dance with my kids and enjoy worshiping and learning with them as well. I will never again talk about the faithfulness of God without hearing the phrase "I CAN TRUST HIM NO MATTER WHAT." GREAT JOB, KIDSPRING!!

THIS SUNDAY we are back to the FAQ's off of which this series is built, and I can't wait to hear the question for this weekend. There are also several people getting baptized this weekend. I love seeing people go public with their faith!

We will be in the Exhibit Hall A this weekend. This is a little different than normal. So, follow the signs for parking to direct you to the closest entrance.

Our next Ownership Class is Sunday, July 17th at 2:30pm. Stop by Guest Services this weekend to sign up or email brendan.mendenhall@newspring.cc for details!

2011-06-25T08:17:00.003-04:00

LAST SUNDAY was a great Sunday of celebrating our earthly fathers. Perry's message centered around how amazing our heavenly Father is. "God is a GREAT God who wants GREAT things for His children." I am so happy and honored to be called a child of God.

We saw 2 more people give their lives to Christ as well last Sunday. That is 106 lives changed for eternity in 5 months!! BLOWN AWAY!!!

THIS SUNDAY we continue the On the Farm series. There is a rumor that Perry will be singing! We are meeting in the PAC this Sunday.

As a reminder...

-Load-in is happening at 4am/ Load-out will be after the 11:15am service ends.

-KidSpring is taking over the service next week, July 3rd.

-We are baptizing on July 10th http://www.newspring.cc/nextsteps/baptism/

LAST SUNDAY was incredible! Since I didn't get a chance to post last week, let me just say the month of June has been INCREDIBLE. We are growing in the Summer?!? June 5th we had our largest attendance (other than Easter and Launch Sunday). It's amazing! We have seen more people give their lives to Christ the past few weeks as well. I am so thankful to God for what He is doing and how awesome He is!

The past two weeks Perry has been preaching through the 10 things we hope for every NewSpring Owner. The NewSpring website has a great resource created for you and I to keep this in front of us to remember. You can check it out here...http://www.newspring.cc/tenthings/

THIS SUNDAY is Father's Day! We are asking you to break the trend of this day being one of the lowest attended Sundays for church each year. What an indictment on us as men that we have spent too much time passing on being the "spiritual leader" of our homes on a day set aside to celebrate us.

We are going to be giving away a SeaDoo to one lucky dad! Bring your dad and you might not have to do any last minute shopping!

Also check out this post ( http://www.perrynoble.com/2011/06/13/asking-every-newspringer-to-dive-into-this/ ) from our Pastor this week and dive into these scriptures. THE BEST IS YET TO COME! God is at work in our city, and I am so GRATEFUL I get to serve alongside the Owners of the Charleston Campus. One of the many things that Perry has said over and over that has stuck with me is that, "you can't plan a move of God but you have to be prepared for one to happen!" What we have already seen in just 5 short months is for sure a move of God and no one breathing air could possible take credit for it. But, I know there is more. This summer is a time of "preparing" for what HE has planned FOR HIS GLORY AND OUR GOOD!!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY we got seconds with Pastor Robert Morris and it was as good, if not better than the first helping. He spoke on the Principle of First. One of my favorite things he said was that God can't change, because God can't get better! YES!! You can listen to all the other great things he said here...http://www.newspring.cc/series/more/

We had 10 more people become Owners this week! Our Ownership class is the means to join NewSpring. We believe Members have rights and Owners have responsibilities. We are the Church and it's every owner's call to do the ministry of the Church. Our next class is June 12. You can sign up and get more information here...https://newspring.wufoo.com/forms/newspring-church-ownership-charleston//

THIS SUNDAY we wrap up the More series, and you do not want to miss what we have for you. If you are coming to Charleston for the Memorial Day weekend please let us know what campus you are from; we would love to meet you!

Also, we were blessed with the rare opportunity to leave things set up last week. So, we will not be setting up at 4 am as usual. We will, however, be loading out this week. If you have some time to hang out after the 11:15 service, please do so.

If you are in Charleston and your summer schedule allows for you to have extra time during the week, we would love to have you volunteer at the office. Please email charleston@newspring.cc for more information!

Let me start by saying sorry for not posting "LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY" last week. To briefly catch you up Mother's Day was great. If we took your picture you can look at them here http://www.flickr.com/photos/newspringchurch/sets/72157626693730108/ Also if you missed the message Perry did on Mother's Day, it's incredible! Get a tissue and click this http://www.newspring.cc/series/more/ .

LAST SUNDAY was so good. At the end of our services I was ecstatic! We had seen 2 boys give their lives to Christ and another 13 people go public with their faith in baptism. It was a great Sunday. I knew that our attendance was really good in the first service, but I attended the second service and was not aware of our total attendance for the day yet. Already beaming from a fantastic day and an incredible message (http://www.newspring.cc/series/more/), I found out we had our largest attendance to date! It was the cherry on top for sure. I consistently fight the battle of making sure numbers don't determine whether or not Sunday is "good." So, for me it was great to be so excited about who God is and all that He had done before finding out it was also an amazing day in the attendance category. Numbers matter because they each represent a soul with eternity at stake, but it can't be the main reason for a Sunday being good or bad.

THIS SUNDAY we continue our series MORE for 2 MORE weeks (Sorry. . . had to)! We are going to be baptizing again and hearing a message you don't want to miss.

Our children in KidSpring will be continuing their study on the fruit of the Spirit. Ali and KidSpring staff, THANK YOU for what you do! You always do such a great job of teaching my kids the Bible. But, this series has taken things up a notch. To hear my four year old and two year old singing and talking about the fruit of the Spirit is blowing my mind!!

Sunday and Thursday we will be hosting our next Ownership classes. If you've been checking us out for a while and need to join, this class is your next step. If you want to know more about us as a church this class will also provide that information for you as well. Click this http://www.newspring.cc/nextsteps/commit/ to sign up and get more information!

Load-in is happening Saturday from 2-4pm. If you are available for all two hours or just thirty minutes, stop by and help make Sunday happen!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-05-07T11:17:00.005-04:00

LAST SUNDAY can be summed up by Perry's post from Tuesday...
"To say that this past Sunday’s service was awesome would simply be an understatement. I’ve honestly never seen so many people respond to an invitation like our church did this past weekend. The challenge to confess and repent of sin was so compelling that we actually had a guy in Charleston who watched the service online and literally became so overwhelmed with conviction that he got in his car and drove up to where we have church in Charleston and met with our campus pastor! I absolutely LOVE what Jesus is doing in our church right now!"

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24

THIS SUNDAY it is Mother's Day!! We will honor the moms in attendance and will have a place for you to take pictures with your kids before and after services.

Also read this from Perry's blog to see what you can do Sunday to help the people of Alabama.

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-04-30T07:12:00.007-04:00

LAST SUNDAY was Easter. WOW! What a Saturday night and Sunday it was.

Perry had an incredible message from Genesis 3 about the Easter story. You can check it out here... http://www.newspring.cc/series/more/i-want-more-than-ive-got-right-now/
I am so happy to have a Pastor who listens to God and then is willing to do what He says!
We saw 35 people stand and confess Jesus as Lord of their lives on Sunday.
That is 91 salvations in 17 weeks as a church!
I asked and prayed that God would bring 1000 people to our church last weekend. I asked that, hoping that our 434 people who have been attending services on average, would each bring at least one person with them. Now, I know that adds up to 868. However, we are in a series based off of Ephesians 3:20 aren't we? You guys did an amazing job of reaching out to your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. We saw our largest attendance as a church and had 793 people show up to church last weekend. I am so proud that we buy into the fact that found people find people.
One of my favorite things from the Easter weekend is the story of Matthew Parker. He was saved at the Charleston campus on February 20th, baptized on March 6th, and attended an Ownership class a couple of weeks later. He is now volunteering in KidSpring. Sunday he invited a coworker to the 11:15 service and his friend and coworker stood to receive Christ! That gets me so excited and is why WE DO WHAT WE DO!!!!!

THIS SUNDAY we are continuing the MORE series and I have one thing to ask. If you brought someone with you last week, try everything you can to get them back this week (especially if they were one of the ones who stood at the end to receive Christ)!

This week we are meeting in the Exhibit Hall. We have not been in there before. We are still in the Convention Center; it's just a different room. Be sure to follow the signs and our wonderful greeters will direct you where you need to go. Also let anyone you are inviting know so they will not feel confused or lost upon arrival.

You will not want to miss the opening song this week for sure!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY

2011-04-22T13:47:00.008-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we had a great finale to our series UPGRADE. This was Perry's synopsis of the message from his blog earlier this week...

" As we said this past Sunday Revelation = Responsibility! If God has put someone on your heart that does not know Christ OR that once walked with Christ but has “strayed off the path” then you are responsible to have a conversation with that person. You are NOT responsible for their reaction…but you are responsible to be obedient to what God has said. Remember what Jesus said in Luke 14:23 (go and MAKE them come in) and what James, the brother of Jesus said in James 5:19-20!

I am SO thankful that God is a God of second chances. As we talked about Sunday Mark quit, he walked away…but Barnabas believed in him enough to not just pray for him…but to pursue him and bring him back to the faith. AND…God used Mark in an incredible way…and his impact is even being felt across the world even today (as we have the Gospel of Mark!) Who needs you to be Barnabas for them today? Who needs someone to step into their lives and TELL THEM that God wants them to come home? (See Luke 15:11-32)"

You can checkout the entire post here... http://www.perrynoble.com/2011/04/19/a-letter-from-pastor-p-to-newspring-church-22/

THIS SATURDAY & SUNDAY we are celebrating our RISEN Saviour. We have spent the last three weeks encouraging you to not just invite your lost friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family but to BRING them.

We have been a church for 16 weeks now and what God has done is AMAZING. I am so grateful to GET TO do what I do. I am also so thankful for all of you that He has blessed me to do it with. Our campus has averaged 434 people and we have seen 56 salvations over the past 16 weeks. In praying for Easter I thought, "what if the people coming did what we asked?" That would result in 868 people at our Easter services.

Most people who would say "no" to an invitation to church any other time, will come at Easter and Christmas. It's also been proven that most just need to be asked and they will come. With that in mind and a challenge from Perry to not pray any weak prayers, I have asked God to make our people obedient and that we would see 1000 people at our Easter services and 56 more salvations.

We have just a couple more days...WHO ARE YOU BRINGING?

Service Times: Saturday 6pm and Sunday 9:15 and 11:15

We are loading in Saturday at 1pm. Join us if you are available to help. If you are coming to the 11:15am and don't have plans after, please stick around for a few minutes and load out with us.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SATURDAY & SUNDAY!!

2011-04-21T16:12:00.002-04:00

Hey everyone, I’m Brendan Mendenhall and I am so excited to serve as the Charleston Campus Discipleship Director. A little about myself: I was born and raised in Annapolis, MD. In high school I met my soon-to-be wife Lauren and we began dating my senior year. When I graduated from high school I went to a local community college then later transferred to Clemson University (Go Tigers!). My junior year of college I began visiting NewSpring in Anderson, SC.

I graduated Clemson with a BS in Accounting and soon relocated to Charleston to take a job at a local accounting firm. A few months after I graduated from CU I married my high school sweetheart, Lauren. As soon as NewSpring came to Charleston, we were all in. I’ve always loved seeing people do life together, so I stepped into a volunteer role organizing groups at NewSpring Charleston. It was in that place of service that I found my passion for discipleship.

In April I came on staff at NewSpring Church as the Discipleship Director for the Charleston campus. It’s an honor to serve here and I’m excited to see what God does here in the city of Charleston!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-04-16T06:12:00.007-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we had a PARTY!! In Charleston specifically,we had a BEACH PARTY. The band opened with the Beach Boys' "Surfin' USA". The theme tied into Perry's message about how, as Christians, we should celebrate God and all He does. Right from the start of the message he reminded us that it is not about us, but about those who need to be invited to the party. We passed out forks and party hats as a reminder of Easter and the "party" that we should be inviting people to attend.

It was a great message! In fact it was so good that I watched the 9:15 in Charleston and then attended the 6:00 service in Anderson. You can watch it here... http://www.newspring.cc/series/upgrade/

We continued passing out Easter tickets for our 3 services. If you have not picked yours up, do so this weekend!! I am praying and asking God that we see 1000 people come to our Easter services. Our highest attendance since our launch Sunday was just under 500. I don't think it is too much to ask or pray that everyone bring someone to the "PARTY"! If everyone brings just one person, we can easily provide the opportunity for 1000 people to hear the life-changing message of Jesus on Easter!

THIS SUNDAY we will wrap up our series UPGRADE. This had been a great series, and I can not wait to see how we conclude it Sunday. We are in the PAC (Performing Arts Center) this week. If you don't have children, it is best to enter off of Montague. Depending on what else is going on in the other areas of the Coliseum, you may not be able to get to the closest parking lot off of International Blvd.

We also have our Night of Worship this Sunday Night. I blogged about it earlier this week...

Night of Worship April 17th 6pm

From Perry's Blog...
"We are having a night of worship THIS WEEK at every campus where we will get together as a body and beg God to do an amazing work on Easter, sing to Him in full confidence that He is going to do an undeniable work among us and learn from the Scriptures how we can continually be confident in going out and reaching people who are far from Him. Listed below are the night of worship times for each campus==DO NOT MISS IT! (There will be childcare at each campus for children ages four and under…children five and older are welcome to attend this event.)"

Charleston Campus
When: April 17th at 6pm
Where: PAC (Performing Arts Center)

I cannot wait for this event. Plan to worship with us in Charleston as we prepare for what God is going to do through our Easter services. I spoke with a local pastor here in Charleston yesterday. His church does not have a Sunday evening worship service. So, I invited him to come along with anyone from his church that would like to lift up their Easter services as well. Our prayer is that God moves in the hearts of lost people. PERIOD! If you or your church does not meet on Sunday nights, join us as we beg God to do what only He can!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-04-08T15:57:00.005-04:00

LAST SUNDAY Clayton King preached on the Lordship of Christ and making sure you and I have the correct Lord guiding and directing our lives. I loved his point about how we can't simply make God #1 on a list; it is absurd to think that God could fit on a list. The proper perspective is to put God central and revolve our entire lives around Him. THAT WAS GOOD!!

You know if Clayton's preaching to Charleston, people are getting saved. This week was no exception. We saw 12 people physically stand and say out loud that "JESUS IS LORD" during the invitation. It was a powerful experience. That puts us at 54 salvations in just 13 weeks!!

This past Sunday we also saw our largest attendance since our launch! We have also seen our largest volunteer numbers during the past two Sundays. Once again if you're not doing something, something is not getting done! It's all about you seizing the opportunities for ministry. As believers we are all called to it. Some of us do it and grow spiritually through it, while others just consume and miss out!

THIS SUNDAY we are having a party. . . a Beach Party! That's all I can tell you for now. If you show up Sunday in your Hawaiian shirt and Bermuda shorts, you will not feel out of place. Who am I kidding? At NewSpring you could do that any week and not feel out of place. We have two more weeks in the series UPGRADE. Come expecting God to speak to you and ask Him who you need to invite to bring with you.

We started passing out Easter tickets Sunday. If you did not get your tickets last week, pick them up this week. This is a great tool for inviting people for Easter. I also challenge all NewSpring Charleston Owners and Attendees to come to our Saturday service on April 23rd at 6pm to open seats for people at 9:15am and 11:15am on Sunday, April 24th. Be praying and expectant for God to move mightily and do great things this Easter.

Our 4am Load-In team is doing a phenomenal job getting things set for us to worship each Sunday. They could use a few more people, but we have the greatest opportunity for serving after the 11:15am service on our Load-Out team. If you are available to stick around for an hour after the service, it would help tremendously (even if you volunteer once a month)! YOU ARE THE CHURCH.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

Africa

2011-04-08T15:14:00.010-04:00

I've told you that I would post about my trip to Africa and have failed to deliver. So, if you've been waiting, this is my Africa post...

My trip to Africa was INCREDIBLE! All of you who know me realize that long-winded detail is a spiritual gift of mine. However, if I start going into details of my trip, I would write a three page post and no would read it. So, instead I've decided to just bullet point some of the highlights and show some pics. ENJOY...

Without a doubt the highlight of the entire trip was preaching in the village of Tu Tu and leading a man to Christ after the service . I'll never forget the moment my interpreter told me that the man who had walked down to the front of the church was ready to give his life to Jesus!
I will also never forget the herd of goats that came by to bahhh and heckle me as I preached.
Going inside a "home" in the village was quite an experience. I was amazed to see how tiny their homes are. It was an experience!
Meeting people from the other NewSpring Campuses and forming quick bonds was pleasantly surprising to me. We had a great time together, and I can't wait for them to visit me in Charleston!!
Second to leading someone to Christ was seeing all that we've been able to do in Kenya in such a short time. It is amazing to see how God has used us there! I gained a better understanding of 410 Bridge, why they exist, and our partnership with them.
Riding in the BIGGEST lime green Mercedes was pretty stinkin' awesome. (pic below)
About the second day in Kenya, the kids became comfortable with me. It was interesting to see that they wanted to touch and feel my skin and the hair on my arms.
The first day and a half I helped dig holes and build a platform for the Ereri Primary School's water tanks. I do not ever want to have to mix concrete again, especially not "Kenya Concrete." Next time I'm packing some Quick Crete - just add water! WOW! That was hard work!!
The rest of the time I got to help the dentist which was an experience. I saw lots of tooth extractions. (I was corrected from saying we were "yanking" teeth out). I even saw a couple of people who had teeth growing out of the roof of their mouth, not to mention the LARGEST wisdom tooth I have ever seen. I haven't seen any until this trip, but on this trip I saw quiet a few!
It was heart-warming to see some of the people on our trip who have been before get to meet the kids they sponsor through http://www.brightpointforchildren.org/
We saw a CHEETAH!
On the last night in Kenya, I stayed in the nicest tent EVER!

It was such a fantastic trip. I can't wait for people from the Charleston campus to get to

experience it. Please let me know if you have questions or are interested in going, and I'll give you what I know and point you in the right direction.

Thanks again for all the prayer support while I was there. Charleston was heavy on my heart while I was there, and it is an honor to know that I was heavy on many of your hearts as well.

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-04-01T15:12:00.006-04:00

LAST SUNDAY can be summed up with one phrase, "Thank you NewSpring!" Brad Cooper brought an incredible message about the next generation and how our God is a generational God. God is working in and through you and I right now. We might not know just how much we are impacting the generations coming behind us, but we are!

We can all make an "UPGRADE" in our lives if we pour into the next generation. What they can and will do will blow our minds.

Sunday we also had 4 more people go public with their faith and get baptized. That makes it 35 people that have been baptized in 12 weeks. YES!

THIS SUNDAY we will continue our series UPGRADE.

The biggest event to take place every year in Charleston happens this Saturday. The Cooper River Bridge Run will bring thousands of people in town from all over. Take advantage of any and every opportunity you have to invite people to NewSpring Charleston on Sunday. This might be the only chance they get. Seek out divine appointments for invitations. I pray and believe that one day NewSpring Charleston will be the biggest event that happens not only once a year in our city, but each and every Sunday! Can I get an AMEN?

We will have our Easter tickets available for you to pick up this Sunday. There will be three Easter services this year in Charleston. We will be having our regular Sunday services as well as one service on Saturday, April 23rd. Tickets are free! This is just a great tool for us to use to invite and get people to an Easter service. Remember friends and family will go with you on Christmas and Easter when they would normally say NO! Pray for who God wants you to invite and then do what He says.

I can say with all truth and sincerity I have never been more excited about being a part of the local church more than I am right now. We have seen 42 people give their lives to Christ in 12 short weeks. If you have been attending and not contributing you are missing out. God is doing great things and allowing us to be along for the ride. What are you waiting for?

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!

FROM KENYA!!

2011-03-22T11:38:00.004-04:00

I was able to jump on a computer for a few minutes so, "Hello from Kenya." This trip is going great, and we have seen God do some amazing things. I will post more details when I get back, but I wanted to share what happened here on Sunday. I was privileged to get the opportunity to preach on Sunday in the village of Tu Tu. At the end of the message we prayed over the church and the leaders of the church. After the prayer an older African man came to the front; my interpreter, Alfred, informed me that he wanted to accept Christ. So, right there in Africa in the "portable" church (Kenya-style), I got to lead a man to Christ! WOW! That never gets old!!

I hope church was amazing Sunday! Don't forget every campus has had their highest attendance while the Campus Pastor was in Kenya. Don't let me down! Let's keep this a trend. Who are you bringing and inviting this Sunday?

Miss you!

CAN'T WAIT UNTIL SUNDAY!!!

Guest Post: Angie Green

This past Sunday was incredible as we continued the "Upgrade" series! Perry taught that God's way for me to be successful is simply to read my Bible and do what it says. Two of my favorite quotes from the message were, "You can be as close to God as YOU want to be." and "God is after your heart, not your behavior." I hope you are joining me in the 21 day reading challenge. It is always such an amazing experience to read the same passages of Scripture as others and see how the Lord speaks to us individually through His Word! It is not too late for you to participate. You can view the 21 day reading plan and watch Perry's full message on living a successful life by visiting www.newspring.cc

I hope you had a chance to read Andy's post from Africa earlier this week. He had the incredible privilege of preaching in Kenya on Sunday and leading a man to Christ after the service there. Here in Charleston, we had 4 people join that man in securing their eternal salvation! Praise Jesus for reaching souls around the world!!!

Speaking of the broader vision of reaching souls, if you did not get a chance to give to the Japan relief, it is not too late! We at NewSpring are partnering with an organization called "Churches Helping Churches." Over $40,000 was raised in our special love offering this past Sunday. If you would like to add to this, you can click the link on www.newspring.cc to give.

THIS SUNDAY we will continue the "Upgrade" series. Baptism will be a part of our services this week. It is always an unbelievable experience to witness people going public with their faith! If you are interested in taking this next step, please email charleston@newspring.cc

Load-in will begin at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning. If your next step is to volunteer in this capacity, please join us in getting things set up for the life-change that happens each and every Sunday! If load-in is not workable for you, but you could help load-out, we would love to have you join us in this area! Thank you to everyone who is already serving in your area of giftedness to make Sundays happen! Andy and I are amazed by each and every one of you!!!

Make sure to invite your friends and be sure they come to church with you this Sunday! Remember that Andy has challenged us to continue the trend for when the campus pastor is in Kenya by having our largest attendance to date.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

Next Steps

2011-03-15T13:16:00.005-04:00

Our next Baptism will be March 27th. Email charleston@newspring.cc if that is your next step and you are interested in going public on the 27th!

Our next Ownership class will be March 31st at 6:30pm. Dinner and childcare will be provided. We will begin as soon as every RSVP arrives or at 7pm. It will be held at the NewSpring Charleston Office at 2093 Executive Hall Road, Charleston, SC 29407.

If you are wanting to learn more about our church or join NewSpring Church, the Ownership class is how you do so. RSVP by emailing charleston@newspring.cc with your name and how many will be attending with you. Also, be sure to include the name and ages of you children if childcare is needed.

PARTY PEOPLE!!

2011-03-15T12:06:00.005-04:00

I am looking for people who enjoy decorating, hosting, and attending parties. We have an opportunity for people interested in planning and setting up for a party we are having in April. If you are interested please email charleston@newspring.cc and we will be in touch with details!

2011-03-15T11:13:00.004-04:00

LAST SUNDAY we continued UPGRADE with a message that Perry said was one where he wanted to share his heart with the church. I am so glad he did. WOW! What a message. If you missed it, you need to go check it out. I know I say that every week so you will have to get used to it. I tell you to check it out because I know trying to give you a written synopsis would not even do it justice. www.newspring.cc

We had our largest attendance at our Ownership class this past Sunday. I get so excited seeing people join and plug into the local church. I have seen so many of our Owners flourish in their relationship with Christ. To see the way God is working in all areas of their lives really gets me excited like almost nothing else does. I say all of that to challenge you to fully get involved in a church. You are the CHURCH. If you've been checking out NewSpring Charleston, you need to step up and plug in. Stop just consuming, and start contributing!

THIS SUNDAY we will continue UPGRADE. I believe if we would all apply this coming Sunday's message to our lives, we could not possibly remain where we currently are.

I told everyone last week that the trend with every campus has been to have their largest weekend attendance the week the campus pastor was in Kenya. I am just as excited to see who God will bring through our doors in Charleston as I am about getting to go to Kenya. Don't let Charleston break the trend!! I am praying for a 500 weekend while I am gone, and wouldn't be mad if we had a 604 weekend. That would break our highest attendance ever! God is moving in incredible ways; in ten weeks we have seen 34 people saved and 31 people baptized. I can't believe I get to do this and be a part of what He is doing through our church. As the church, God is going to continue to use you to get people here and to make Sunday happen!

I'll be praying that God does amazing things Sunday!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY

I'm Going to Africa

2011-03-15T10:50:00.006-04:00

In two days I will be leaving with the March team that is going to Kenya from NewSpring! I can't wait and can't believe it. My overwhelming thought in preparing for my trip to Kenya is for God to show me why I'm going. I know there will be a great personal take-away. I've been told over and over "It will rock my world" or "It will change my life." I'm sure it will!

I know God has me where He has called me, and I couldn't be more passionate than I am for the local church and especially the local church he allows me to serve here in Charleston. As I told some of our attendees at Unleash last week, Charleston is my Promise Land! With that being said, I am even more prayerful about my trip to Africa and how God will use this experience to impact those of you with the Charleston Campus. I know that there will be many of you who will feel the call to go to Kenya, and I pray that through my trip you will be challenged to answer that call.

I ask that you pray for the trip and selfishly for me as your campus pastor. Pray that God would use us in an incredible way to further His GOOD NEWS!! I ask also that you pray for my family while I'm gone. I will be gone for ten days, and I know my wife would covet your prayers as she takes care of things at home.

I will be praying on Sunday for you and what God will do here in our cities. The volunteers God has assembled here in Charleston make it so easy for me to leave, knowing that our Church is in great hands. I will miss you guys and look forward to being back with you and continue to fulfill our desire to see the "Holy City" truly become the Holy City!

LAST SUNDAY we had an amazing Sunday, seeing 7 people go public with their faith and get baptized! It is always such an honor to be used by God and get to play a part in someone's relationship with Christ.

We also had several little worship leaders on stage last Sunday. It was so much fun seeing the KidSpring children singing, spinning, bouncing, clapping, and staring at the lights. I hope you were able to join us!

Perry also gave a challenging message on how to "UPGRADE" our lives in the area of giving and how to fight off GREED. The phrase will stick with me was, "It's not Satan that is holding the church back but greedy Christians!" If you missed it check it out here... http://www.newspring.cc/series/upgrade/

THIS SUNDAY we SPRING FORWARD; don't forget to set your clocks forward and make sure anyone you've invited does the same.

We are also having an Ownership class at 2:30pm Sunday afternoon at the NewSpring Charleston Office. It's not to late for you to join us. If you want to know more about NewSpring or know that you want to join NewSpring church then the Ownership class is for you.

NewSpring Charleston Office

Charleston, SC 29407

Load-in is happening at 4:00am in the morning and we would love to have you join us. It takes us from about 4:00am - 6:30am to get everything up and running. If you could serve for a couple of hours, you could make it home to relax for a few hours and then come back for the 11:15 service. Having some people who would step up and even offer to load-in once a month would really help our volunteers who do it every week!

One last thing... DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD!!!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY we started a brand new series called UPGRADE. The message was all about Forgiveness. Perry said forgiven people should forgive people! At the end of the message Perry used the visual aid of a key to help us see the "prison" that we can free ourselves from if we would forgive others. You can watch the entire message here... http://www.newspring.cc/series/upgrade/forgiveness/

On a personal note, last week was incredible for my family and especially my wife. Before moving to Charleston my wife and I prayed and continue to pray that God would put us in the path of lost people. We pray that He would set up divine appointments that we can't avoid. Not long after moving to Charleston my wife started taking our kids to a reading time at a local Barnes & Noble every week. She was taking the kids just to have something that would get them out of the house, but God had set up one of those appointments we had prayed for. There she met a lady with three kids and they began to talk. My wife invited her to church and she decided to come. She came almost every week to our preview services. Around Christmas time she stopped coming and about three weeks into our launch she sent a text to my wife saying she wasn't going to come again because church wasn't for her. About three weeks after that she sent my wife a text saying she was coming to church and that everywhere she turned that week people were talking about God and church. This was two weeks ago and she was one of the 21 people who raised their hands that Sunday and accepted Christ. Last Sunday was so great because my wife was able to sit down with her in between services and talk with her about her decision. We know she will be in heaven with us and we pray now for her husband to experience the same life change!

That is why we do what we do! Thank-You Jesus!!

THIS SUNDAY we are continuing UPGRADE. We have a few "small" surprise worship leaders joining us this week. You do not want to miss this!

We are also going to be baptizing this Sunday. I love seeing people go public with their faith. If that is your next step, it's not to late. You can email charleston@newspring.cc to sign up!

I had someone ask me this Sunday if you have to be baptized to be a part of NewSpring. If you haven't been baptized after salvation and if you haven't been baptized by immersion, then the answer is yes. If you are a Christ-follower and you have already been baptized by immersion you do not have to do it again; you just need to come to an Ownership class and then you can join NewSpring. Our next available class is next Sunday, March 13th. Email charleston@newspring.cc for details or signup this weekend at Guest Services.

This week we are also able to load-in on Saturday. If you are available to help, join us at the Convention Center in Ballroom A from 9:30am - 11:30am.

Sunday is also Ali, our Kidspring Director's birthday! Parents: no gifts needed, but please be sure to say Happy Birthday if you see her! She works so hard to make sure our kids have fun and learn about Jesus on their level each and every week. I know she will appreciate it. THANKS!!!

I hope you are inviting or praying that God would bring someone around you to invite each and every week!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-02-26T10:52:00.003-05:00

LAST SUNDAY

I've only got two things to say...

1. We finished the Make War series and it was the best series we have ever had in Charleston!! (OK I know it's the only series we've had.) It was still REALLY good!!

2. We saw 21 people raise their hands and accept Christ as Lord and Saviour last Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES! I'll have to share some of the stories from Sunday in an upcoming post because it's crazy how God is working in and through the people at NewSpring Charleston in just seven weeks.

THIS SUNDAY I'll keep it to two things as well...

1. WE ARE IN THE PAC(Performing Arts Center) THIS SUNDAY! Park off Montague if you DO NOT have kids. Tell your friends, family and anyone you may have invited. We have plenty of room, so invite everyone you know!!

2. We are starting a brand new series called UPGRADE. I love how God is working! He changed the previous series and without knowing it Perry now sees how foundational Make War was for this new series. Tell your friends, family, and anyone you may have invited. We have plenty of room so invite everyone you know!! (I know I already said that!)

You can find out more about UPGRADE here... http://www.perrynoble.com/2011/02/24/this-sunday-were-taking-it-to-the-next-level/

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!

OPEN OFFICE

2011-02-25T17:05:00.002-05:00

Three weeks ago NewSpring Charleston moved into an office location. As you would do with an Open House, we are hosting an “Open Office” next Monday, February 28^th from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. We would love for you to drop-in to tour the office and hang out for as little or as long as you like. We will have refreshments available for your enjoyment.

This is an opportunity for you to meet the staff and other NewSpring Charleston attenders/owners, as well as give us a chance to meet you or get to know you better. By hosting this Open Office, it is our hope that you will now know the location of the office so that if you ever need to stop by in the future, you can. It will also make you familiar with the location in case you would like to help serve as a daytime volunteer throughout the week at the office.

NewSpring Charleston Office

2093 Executive Hall Rd.

Charleston, SC 29407

Look forward to seeing you on Monday! No office-warming gifts needed!

Every NewSpring Charleston Owner Needs To Watch This!

2011-02-21T09:53:00.004-05:00

(This no longer available to watch)

You've got to watch it this week!! It's only available online for one more week!

So, don't watch one of the TV shows you watch and stop down for 66 minutes.

This will INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, and EDUCATE you on what is now and what could be!!

Thanks Elevation Church!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-02-19T07:30:00.009-05:00

LAST SUNDAY was another great Sunday at NewSpring Charleston. If you were not able to make it we missed you and hope to see you this Sunday. You can go to www.newspring.cc and watch what you missed. Perry talked Sunday about the one thing you and I can do to in our relationship with Christ to move it forward. He said the one thing is different for everyone. The one thing is your NEXT STEP! He then challenged us to ask what our next step is and to do it.

I have to be honest. I found myself in the first service really prayerfully hoping for people to realize THEIR next step and to take it. It was then that I felt God saying, "YOU better listen up and think about your next step also!" At that moment the weekend changed for me.

If you missed the weekend or attended the 9:15 service, you missed my challenge at the end of the 11:15 service. Since our Christmas Eve preview service I have felt God pushing me to challenge our church more, especially in the areas of evangelism and serving. So, after an incredible message like the one from Perry this past Sunday and seeing no one respond to the salvation invitation, I wanted to make sure to point out something. I wanted any lost people to know that if they needed to talk with someone I was available as well as many others who would love to speak with them. I also wanted to point out that if no one was responding because we are all saved, then we have some work to do and we need to get to work. This series has been incredible and it is too good to keep to ourselves and consume. We should be constantly looking for opportunities to give it away! Who did you invite to church this week? Did you pray and ask God to provide you the opportunity to invite someone to church? If you did neither...stop just consuming and start contributing. You are the CHURCH! "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." I Corinthians 12:27

The highlight of the weekend was seeing four guys move at the end of the service to go public with their salvation in baptism. Greg, John, Ken, and Dan: I was so proud of your boldness and obedience to your next step.

THIS SUNDAY we will conclude the MAKE WAR series. This has been an amazing series and you do not want to miss Sunday as we put a bow on it!

Don't forget about the tithe challenge for February.

Also, Sunday for the 11:15 service you will need to tell the parking attendants you are with NewSpring and you will not have to pay for parking. Please make sure you pass on this information especially to anyone you have invited.

Sunday at 2:30pm we will have an Ownership Class. This is the class for you if you want to know more about the church and are interested in joining. If you plan to attend, please read the post right after this one titled "Ownership Classes" for details.

Load in is happening at 4am, and load out will take place immediately after the service. We would love for you to help, even if you do it one Sunday a month or every other month!

I look forward to seeing you Sunday! I hope you have had a great week. Show up Sunday expecting God to speak to you.

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

OWNERSHIP CLASS

The Ownership Class on Thursday will be from 6:30-9:30 pm. Dinner and Childcare will be provided, therefore an RSVP will be greatly appreciated so we can make sure we have enough people for childcare and food for everyone! The class itself will begin at 7:00 pm or as soon as everyone who has confirmed arrives.

The Ownership Class on Sunday will be from 2:30-5:00pm. Childcare will be provided food will not. Please still RSVP so we can plan for Childcare.

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-02-12T07:27:00.003-05:00

LAST SUNDAY...WOW WOW WOW! What a service! The video team at our church did an amazing job last week of bringing real life to what Perry had spoke on the week before in our Make War series. If you were not able to attend and did not catch last week's service, grab some tissues and click here http://www.newspring.cc/series/make-war/ .

We had our KidSpring setup next to our adult service downstairs in one of the other ballrooms last week. It was great to have them so close to the main service and something we would love to do on a regular basis if possible. We are working at seeing if it is possible. I'll let you know, but for this week we are back upstairs in our regular location. Please pass this information on to anyone you know who has children.

We also had 3 salvations this past Sunday! I know it sounds like I am writing that as an after thought, but I wanted to save the best for last! THIS IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO!! Lost people FOUND, Blind people SEE, and Dead people RESURRECTED! Thanks to those of you who are inviting people. Continue to invest and invite the people God brings your way. Pray each week to see the divine appointments He sets up!

THIS SUNDAY we have two more weeks in the Make War series which has been one of the best series of teaching I have ever sat through. Perry has said that this week we will learn the ONE thing we need to do to take our relationship with Christ to a level we've not experienced. He said it might be the simplest message but the hardest one to apply. I CAN'T WAIT!!

I will also have information on our next Ownership Class this Sunday and you can get signed up for that at Guest Services.

Like I mentioned above KidSpring is back upstairs this Sunday.

We are loading in on Saturday this week at 3pm. If you have some time to help, stop by Ballroom B between 3pm -5pm. If not and you attend the 11:15 service stick around for about an hour after the 11:15 service and help us load out.

I am so excited each week to see us uniting as the body of Christ to do the work He has called us to in Charleston. He is so GOOD! I am blown away each week that I get to do this. I have been asked a lot recently questions like, "How's it going?" and "Is it still fun?" I can honestly say this is the hardest job but the most fun job I've ever had.

We are a month old and we've seen over 10 people accept Christ and 20 people go public in baptism with their faith! THE BEST IS STILL YET TO COME!!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-02-05T08:09:00.006-05:00

LAST SUNDAY we continued our series Make War. We looked at the question "Why do bad things happen to good people?". If you missed it, you can watch it here: http://www.newspring.cc/series/make-war/why-do-bad-things-happen-to-good-people/

It was so incredible to see people praying for those who stood at the end of the service. I was in AWE that we can be four Sundays into this and see the Body of Christ ministering to each other in that way.

I'm finding that every week as a Campus Pastor there is an element of adventure, and this past Sunday was not lacking. At 3:30 a.m. as I was leaving for the Convention Center I received a text telling me our production truck wouldn't start. Without that truck we are not able to do almost anything we do on Sundays. We started coming up with an alternate plan, but thankfully at 4:50 a.m. the truck just started. We were an hour behind our set-up schedule, but our owners who help with load-in were able to make it all happen. I am so grateful for the owners of NewSpring Church who give their lives to make Sundays happen. My prayer is that because of those who are able to be trusted with what God has given them, He will say "Well done" and expand our reach in Charleston.

If you have been attending NewSpring Charleston and are still not plugged in, it's time to stop just consuming and start contributing! Like Perry says, "If you're not serving, something is not getting done."

You do not want to miss THIS SUNDAY! I will say that again: YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS SUNDAY!!!!! We are putting some skin on what we talked about last week. We will hear some stories that teach what we learned last week. Invite someone, bring someone with you, and don't miss this Sunday.

**KidSpring will be meeting in Ballroom C this Sunday only. The parking lot off of Montague will give everyone the closest entry point to our services.

Don't let the lack of text fool you for this Sunday. I am typing very little on purpose. I want you to get one thing about this Sunday. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS SUNDAY!!!

(Or Any Sunday)

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-01-28T13:55:00.004-05:00

Last Sunday we got to experience the wonderful thing that is portable church! We were in a different room than we had been in for the first two weeks, and there were many events going on in all areas of the facility. There was a boat show in the exhibit hall space, a horse show in the Coliseum, and a 1100 person AME conference in the ballrooms. We were in the PAC which holds 2300 seats. That is 100 less than the Anderson campus. The building is beautiful and I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I prayed for 1000 people to show up for each service. 1000 people didn't show up, but that's o.k. We used this past weekend as an opportunity to see what could be! Eleven years ago no one sitting at Anderson University thought that a room that seats 2400 would be needed for three services either. This past weekend we asked the question how do you get to where you need that many seats? We then looked to our core values. I believe if we, the church, buy into and set our lives around those values we will need the Coliseum (Which seats around 14,000) not just the PAC to hold everyone!!

This Sunday we are back in Ballroom A and in our normal KidSpring rooms. We are also having our first baptism celebration. It is going to be an incredible day. Someone I invited a few weeks back emailed me and told me they were coming this Sunday. I also prayed last week during the welcome that God would set up divine appointments for us to live out our FOUND PEOPLE FIND PEOPLE value. I've had people tell me that that prayer has been answered. Who are you bringing? Who did you invite this week?

I cannot believe we have only been a church in Charleston for three weeks! God has done so much already! I am so grateful for the people God has assembled at NewSpring Charleston to reach and make the Holy City holy! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-01-19T09:03:00.006-05:00

LAST SUNDAY we had a great second week! We saw one more person get saved and move for death to life. I would love for that to happen every week, and I pray that it does! We continued our series Make War, and Perry talked about "Getting Past My Past". If you missed it you can listen to it here http://www.newspring.cc/series/make-war/ . Thank you so much to all our Owners who serve and help make Sundays happen. As Perry says in the Ownership class, "If you're not serving, something is not getting done."

THIS SUNDAY we continue the Make War series and there are some logistical details you need to know. I also need you to make sure all your friends and family who you are inviting to come know this information as well.

We are meeting in the PAC (Performing Arts Center) this week. It's right beside the Ballroom we've been meeting in.

PARKING!!

The PAC is located right off of Montague and has doors leading into it right from parking lot C. If you do not have children this is where you want to park. If you have children, the parking lot we normally use will be fenced off for the boat show. You will want to park in the Embassy parking lot if space is available or in the parking lot mentioned above.

There are four events going on at the Coliseum Convention Center this weekend so thank you ahead of time for your patience and flexibility.

**If the parking lot has an attendant taking payment for parking just tell them you are there for NewSpring Church and you will not have to pay. Please pass on this information on to the people you invite as well.

LOAD-IN

This weekend we have our first 4am load-in. You heard me right. . . 4am!! We could use any extra hands we can get to help us get things set up and ready. The past two weeks we've been able to set up on Saturdays. This is our first week setting up on a Sunday morning. If you can come, just park in the parking lot mentioned above and someone will be at the doors to let you in.

This week I am so excited for the opportunities of getting to see what could be! (The PAC holds 2,300 seats, and I look forward to the day that we can fill it!) I am also excited to hear the message Perry has for us. He seems pretty pumped about it! We live in a very unchurched city so people around us each and every day need what we have. Who have you invited this week? Who are you going to invite?

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

Load-in/Load-out

2011-01-14T09:10:00.005-05:00

This weekend we are able to set up on Saturday again. We want to take advantage of this time to train some of you on how things come together and come apart.

If you have an interest in serving on the load-in team on Sunday mornings or if you can hang out after the 11:15 service on Sundays to serve with load-out, please come tomorrow for training. We will be training from 11:00am - 6:30pm. You don't need to come for the entire time but any time you could come would help. From 11:00 - 12:00 we are just going to be unloading the truck.

If you can't come tomorrow, it doesn't mean you can't serve in these areas. This Sunday we will have a 5am call time for the load-in team and after the 11:15 service we will start breaking down and loading out.

Thanks for making Sundays happen!

SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE.

THIS SUNDAY

2011-01-13T10:50:00.007-05:00

This has been the longest week of my life...

Coming off the high of last Sunday, this week seems to be going at a snail's pace getting to this Sunday. Sunday can not get here soon enough!! I love my church!!

This coming Sunday we will continue the Make War series. I hope if you were with us this past week you are taking advantage of the opportunity to talk about and share the experience with someone. My prayer this week has been that our excitement from this past Sunday would pour out onto the people around us and that they would have to come see what has made us so excited. If that is not where you're at, I'm not sure you were really there this past week or you might need Jesus! FOUND PEOPLE FIND PEOPLE.

We have many opportunities for you to serve this Sunday which I'll post in a smaller post tomorrow. If you are waiting on joining so you can volunteer and serve, I will have details about the next Ownership Class tomorrow on the blog and at church this Sunday as well. SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE.

We will also have a meeting this coming week for those of you interested in leading a group. Trevor Cox, our Central Discipleship Director, will be coming down to help train and give group leaders details for how we are going to launch Groups in Charleston. YOU CAN'T DO LIFE ALONE.

We have so much to be thankful for! Praise God! The best is yet to come!!

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!

LAST SUNDAY

2011-01-11T19:45:00.005-05:00

WHERE TO BEGIN...

THANK-YOU NEWSPRING OWNERS!!!!

You guys have been so fun to get to know, and I am so happy we are on this journey together. I was so thrilled by the excitement, joy, and even tears on your faces Sunday. We saw God answer our Ephesians 3:20 prayer! So be sure to give Him the glory. Thanks for the time and effort you guys put in to make it happen. I am so excited that we get to do this every week.

Special thanks to all of our Owners from other campuses that came down as well. You guys helped raise the level on Sunday and no one can say multi-site doesn't work!! You guys proved that for sure. Thanks!

If you haven't joined NewSpring Charleston or plugged into a volunteer opportunity, get on it and join the ride.

OUR LAUNCH

We saw 603 people attend our first service! That is not normal!!! To whom much is given, much is required!! (I'll blog more about that in a post later this week for THIS SUNDAY.) We had 6 people get saved and 66 kids in KidSpring.

I am blown away by what God is doing and pray He will continue to work here in Charleston. My prayer is that we will get to see life change happen each and every week. It happened "daily" in Acts.

I am also so very grateful for all the prayer support that covered us on Sunday. I can say I have never felt prayed for more in my entire life than I did last week. Please don't stop; God knows I need the prayers!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

The Best is Yet to Come!! To God be the Glory!!

NewSpring Charleston has it's own facebook page.

http://www.facebook.com/newspring.charleston.sc

Be sure to check it out and "like" it if you have a facebook account. You can also direct your friends to it for information and stuff pertaining to the Charleston campus. I will be using this from time to time to give you information that writing a blog post for might seem unnecessary.

Have a great day and I'll see you Sunday! (Love getting to type that!!)

2011-01-10T14:37:00.001-05:00

My Prayer for Tomorrow!

2011-01-08T20:41:00.001-05:00

¹⁶ I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸ may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

²⁰ Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 3:16-20

CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!!

Prayer Warriors

2011-01-07T20:49:00.003-05:00

I would like to cover the facility in prayer before Sunday morning's first service. If you would like to come pray for our services, over each chair, the KidSpring rooms, Perry, volunteers, and anything else, please join us.

We will meet outside Ballroom A at 7:45a.m.

The reason for meeting so early is so that if you want to pray with us, you can still be available to bring someone you have invited or to volunteer in the area in which you have committed to volunteer.

Sunday is going to be amazing! You still have time to invite someone!!!!

Friday and Saturday

2011-01-07T09:00:00.002-05:00

Friday at 10am we are setting up the stage for NewSpring Charleston. If you are available please come to the Convention Center at 10am. If you want to drop in on your lunch break you can as well.

Saturday at 12pm we are loading everything else in to the Convention Center. We will be able to set up the auditorium and KidSpring on Saturday this week. Join us at noon on Saturday!

This weekend is going to be AMAZING!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2011-01-04T22:29:00.005-05:00

This past Sunday we wrapped up our last "Preview Service". This time leading up to our LAUNCH this Sunday has flown by! Thanks to everyone who has jumped on board and taken hold of the volunteer opportunities. God has a place for you that will help us make the most impact in our city. I don't have much to talk about from this past weekend, not because there is nothing to talk about but because I can't think about anything other than what I want to say for THIS SUNDAY!

This Sunday we launch the Charleston Campus!!!!

Please pray for this Sunday.

*Pray for who God wants you to bring. INVEST and INVITE.

*Pray for where God wants you to serve and get involved (if you're not already serving).

*Pray for us to know and follow the plans and direction God has laid out for us.

PARKING:

If you have Children you are going to want to park in parking lot E.

From 26

Take Exit 213 onto Montague. Go West on Montague and turn Right onto International Blvd. From there, follow the signs and parkers.

From 526

Take Exit 16 onto International Blvd. Go East on International Blvd and from there follow the signs and parkers.

If you DO NOT have Children you are going to want to park in parking lot C.

From 26

Take Exit 213 onto Montague. Go West from there, and follow the signs and the parkers. The entrance to the parking lot will be on you right.

In Isaiah 52 it says, "the Lord will go before you." It's our job to follow and give Him all the glory. I am clinging to this verse this week!

THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

Repost: I Heart My Church

2011-01-03T23:33:00.001-05:00

I Heart My Church

I have changed my profile pictures on facebook, twitter and the blog to the "I Heart My Church" picture. If you are an owner with NewSpring Charleston I am asking that you do the same. Post a picture of you wearing your shirt somewhere in Charleston or just the logo itself. My hope is that people will see it and ask questions that can lead to invitations for our launch on January 9th.

We could put up billboards, send out mailers, have a TV comercial, put something in the newspaper, or use other creative marketing ideas; however, your personal conversation and invitation will always be the most effective form of marketing and promotion!

Let's take advantage of the social media outlets at our disposal and use them to invest in and invite the 84% of people who are unchurched in Charleston!!

January 9th is this week. . .let's get to work!!!

Who are you bringing? Who is coming because you invited them?

THIS SUNDAY

2010-12-30T09:39:00.006-05:00

I hope that everyone has had an incredible week celebrating Christmas.

We had a blast last week doing our first ever Christmas Eve services at the Charleston campus. We had record crowds at all campuses, including ours 219 people. We saw over 500 salvations and over 19,000 people attend the 19 services in Anderson, Greenville, Florence, Columbia, and Charleston.

Thanks to everyone who helped decorate to make things look like Christmas. Thanks to all the volunteers who served at a service in some capacity. I know some of you delayed your plans with family to serve. Thanks to everyone who hung around and helped load up everything so that we could get to our families as well.

I know that many of you invited people and had lost people at our services. This was in Perry's blog the other day and I think it was written for many of us in Charleston:

" Found people find people…so THANKS to everyone who went all out to bring someone to a service. Our willingness to be like Jesus and embrace the uncomfortable DOES matter when it comes to eternity. AND…for those who invited someone and they did not say “yes” to the Gospel, don’t be discouraged, MAYBE that was the thing that God wanted to use to bring them one step closer. Don’t give up…if God is still putting them on your heart then there is a good reason for it…if HE is patient with them (II Peter 3:9) then we should be as well."

THIS SUNDAY. . .

We are not meeting at the Convention Center. We are meeting at the

Regal Cinemas Charles Towne Square Stadium 18 which is at 2401 Mall Drive, North Charleston.

The map of the location for this weekend is below.

Please call, repost on facebook, twitter, and email anyone you know and get the word out about the location change.

This weekend has become my favorite weekend over the past few years. I know it will be a great opportunity for us to see what God has done over the past year and look forward with great anticipation to what He is going to allow us to be a part of in the coming year.

It's a can't miss weekend if you ask me! But they ALL are if you ask me.

Miss you guys like crazy and can't wait for Sunday!!!!

PARKING IS FREE TONIGHT

2010-12-23T09:20:00.002-05:00

Tonight you or someone you have invited might think you have to pay for parking. That is not the case. Tell the parking attendant you are there for the NewSpring Church service and they will direct you where to park. We have already covered the payment.

Please help me make sure everyone knows this information!!!

Keep inviting and I'll see you tonight or tomorrow!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

2010-12-22T13:08:00.005-05:00

Words can not describe this past Sunday!

I took the job to be the Campus Pastor at NewSpring Charleston on January 25th. My prayers since that day have been for the days when God would use me to see lost people found, blind people see, and dead people come to life in Charleston. So, to see four people stand broken and receive Christ was a culmination of many days and months of prayers for that day!! I was an emotional wreck and so thankful that God could and would use me to be a part of someone's life change. For those of you who volunteer and are a part of what we are doing I pray that you felt the same humble honor that I felt on Sunday. My prayer now is that we will see more and more lives changed but that we would remain in the same place of awe in seeing it happen! THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!

This Thursday and Friday we are having Christmas Eve services. Invite someone! People who would not go to church any other time of the year will give God a chance at Christmas. So invite them.

Because of the Christmas Eve services we will not have services on the 26th. Please be sure to get the word out because we will not be there if you show up.

Thursday night there is an event going on in the PAC (Performing Arts Center). All traffic will flow through the main gates. If you tell them you are with NewSpring you will not have to pay to park. We have already paid for you. Be sure anyone you know or invite has this information!!! You will then be directed as to where to park as normal.

See you Thursday or Friday! If you are already away, check back for special details regarding January 2nd services!!

I Heart My Church

2010-12-21T11:16:00.006-05:00

Let's take advantage of the social media outlets at our disposal and use them to invest in and invite the 84% of people who are unchurched in Charleston!!

January 9th is coming QUICK. . .let's get to work!!!

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2010-12-18T11:29:00.004-05:00

Last Sunday we had our largest attendance yet and continued the HOPE series. I was in prayer for a few people in particular all morning. I knew that Perry was going to offer a salvation invitation at the end and ask people to walk to the back of the room. When the time came for the invitation in the second service one of the people I was praying for came to the back. It was all I could do to hold it together. The person I talked to was not ready to give their life to Jesus, but I know it's going to happen soon!

That is why we do what we do! So, above anything else that could have happened or did happen this past week, that's what matters! Nothing else even comes close or ever will!

This Sunday we will continue the HOPE series. With next week being Christmas, we know already of some people who will not be around this weekend. If you've been waiting to volunteer and haven't jumped in yet, there is a great opportunity awaiting you this weekend! Load in starts at 6am. Join us if you can.

I did a post on this earlier in the week, but I want to remind you that Thursday and Friday we are having 2 Christmas Eve services. Please continue to be in prayer for who God would have you invite to these services! Lives will be changed!

I am ready to go to bed right now! Can't wait for Sunday!!

NewSpring Charleston Christmas Eve Services

2010-12-14T14:42:00.004-05:00

We have had lots of questions about this. We will have 2 Christmas Eve services at NewSpring Charleston!!

December 23rd at 7pm

December 24th at 4pm

This is from Perry's blog post today!!

Top Five Times People Are Open To Considering Matters Of Faith…

#5 – After the birth of a baby (28%)
#4 – After a natural disaster (34%)
#3 – After a major national crisis i.e. 9/11 (38%)
#2 – During the Easter season (38%)
#1 – During the Christmas season (47%)

Church…my prayer is that we will EMBRACE this opportunity (because found people find people) and do EVERYTHING we can to BRING people to a service on Christmas!!! Research ALSO shows that the #1 way a person will receive information about a church is through the PERSONAL INVITE from a friend or family member. Let’s pursue them like Jesus pursued us!!!

This will take MANY of us embracing uncomfortable situations and conversations…remember, that’s what Jesus did for us!!! I’m praying Joshua 1:9 for all of us as we focus on what this season is REALLY all about, introducing people to JESUS!

read the entire post here http://www.perrynoble.com/2010/12/14/a-letter-from-pastor-p-to-newspring-church-5/

We will not have tickets in Charleston for our services but we will be giving away an iPad at each service!!

Please be in prayer for the services and who you need to invite! Also email charleston@newspring.cc if you want to volunteer for these services.

Guest Post: Matt Alexander

2010-12-13T20:34:00.007-05:00

Hi! My name is Matt Alexander and I am very excited to be serving as the Production Director at NewSpring Charleston! I have lived in Anderson, SC all of my life. My younger brother and I were raised in a traditional Baptist church. Yes, we were "drug" to church every Sunday! I started playing drums at the age of 7, beginning my love for music. In high school I was a member of the drum line in the marching band and played in a garage band called "Silkworm". (I didn't choose the name)

At Anderson University, I majored in Human Resources but spent most of my time playing drums in a band called "Six and Twenty" doing gigs for youth rallies and campus ministries. You might recognize the name of our lead guitarist - Steve Barlow(Our new worship leader!!). Steve and I were band-mates for 2 years and roommates for 4 years! In 2000, I joined NewSpring Church and have volunteered there ever since!

In 2003, I married my lovely wife Sara. We actually met at a NewSpring Bible study! We have three children, Lucas age 5, Ava age 2, and Wyatt is 4 months old. I have an obsession with flashlights, tools and knives. I am a techy,

gadgety kind of guy. (who isn't?) I enjoy trying to play golf... but pretty terrible at it. I love to play racquetball, so

let me know if you play! I love a good challenge! I also love a pick up game of Ultimate Frisbee!

We are so excited to be starting a new life here in Charleston! We know that God has great things in store for NewSpring Charleston! Sara and I both are passionate about what God is doing in our church! We have experienced true life change over the past 10 years through Perry's teachings and Home Groups! I can't wait to meet each of you and begin seeing life change happen here!

If you are interested in volunteering in the production area or with the load in and load out team please email matt.alexander@newspring.cc for more information.

LAST SUNDAY/ THIS SUNDAY

2010-12-07T17:12:00.008-05:00

I am still blown away by this past Sunday. It was incredible!

We went live for the first time with all the other campuses. BIG props to the Production and IT team back in Anderson who pulled it all together, and BIG props to Matt and the production volunteers in Charleston making it happen here.

I had no idea what the message was going to be beforehand and after hearing half of it in the first service I knew exactly why we needed to be live! I'm not sure anyone could have planned it to go that perfectly. That is why I am glad I am not in control and just follow what God is doing. It always works out that God is bigger and smarter than we are. . .EVERY time! If you missed it this week jump online and watch the message NOW! http://www.newspring.cc/series/hope/hosanna/

This past Sunday the Charleston Campus started looking more like a NewSpring Church with our flags and signs. Be sure to check out some pictures and "like" our facebook page while you are there. http://www.facebook.com/newspring.charleston.sc

This Sunday and from now on we will join in with the other campuses. It will be an incredible service as we look at the "O" in Hope!

We are now less than a month away from our launch on January 9th. There is a volunteer opportunity waiting for you. Please do not leave this weekend without seeing where you can plug in. God will use you to reach people in the Charleston area for Him. Don't miss out on what amazing opportunity is waiting for you!! We want to have 100 people plugged in and ready to volunteer for our opening Sunday. Grab your shovel and let's start digging...we have plenty who need rescuing!!

SEE YOU SUNDAY!

OWNERSHIP CLASS

2010-12-06T17:42:00.002-05:00

This is a class to let you know more about who we are as a church and it gives you the opportunity to join and be a part of NewSpring Church.

This is a key step in volunteering and getting plugged in.

If you are interested we have two opportunities this week.

Monday at 7pm

Tuesday at 7pm

Please email charleston@newspring.cc for more details and information!!

THIS SUNDAY

2010-12-03T10:32:00.005-05:00

I am so EXCITED for this Sunday (so much so that I spelled EXCITED twice and in all caps)!!

We have many things we are doing or are going to attempt to do that we haven't been doing!

We are giving info about our next Ownership classes!

We are offering you another weekend and opportunity to serve! (Saved People Serve People.)If you are not plugged into a volunteer opportunity please let me know!

We are starting our Christmas Offering.

We are going to have more people than we've ever had because you are bringing or inviting someone. (Found People Find People!)

It's going to be a great day. I wish it was Sunday right now!

Load in will happen at 6am. If you would like to join us, please do so. If you can't help with load in, we load out after the service. It would also be great if you can hang out a couple extra minutes to help.

January 9th is coming. . .let's get ready!

SEE YOU SUNDAY!

Christmas Offering

2010-12-01T09:32:00.005-05:00

This week we will start collecting a special end-of-the-year Christmas offering at every NewSpring Campus. This is something above your tithe. Please be in prayer for what God would want you to give.

I want everyone with the Charleston campus to know that last year's Christmas offering was able to make what we do this Sunday possible. People in Anderson, Greenville, Columbia, and Florence sacrificially gave. Their giving provided what we needed to move forward with NewSpring Charleston.

Ask God what He would have you give and then give it!

LAST SUNDAY

2010-11-30T10:24:00.005-05:00

We had an incredible service this past weekend! Thanks to everyone who was in town and served to help make it happen. (Saved People Serve People).

I went back and forth with whether or not to cancel the service this past week. Many of you were not able to make it because of the holiday weekend so I wasn't sure if we should just cancel. We watched the recap video from 2008 which is my favorite one I think. After seeing the way it ended, I am convinced that the reason we needed to have the service is because someone needed to have the opportunity to give their heart to Christ. No one came forward and no one came up to talk to me at the end, but I know God was working and moving.

As I said at the end of the service I hope the past few weeks have given you a glimpse of what you are going to be a part of here in Charleston. I am blown away that God would use me to do such amazing things to make His name great. I am so grateful and know that the BEST IS YET TO COME!

We can not sit and think it's going to just happen. We have to do our part and make sure we are where we need to be in our relationship with God. The greatest thing you will ever give to NewSpring Charleston is a consistent personal relationship with God. (Growing People Change). Out of a dynamic relationship with Jesus everything else will flow!

Use the tools we have given you to find people. (Found People Find People.) Also, pray for divine appointments where you can use those tools.

We have a special Christmas offering starting this week. (I'll blog about that tomorrow, but You Can't Out Give God)

I'll let you know more about this coming Sunday later this week as well. I miss you all like crazy Monday through Saturday and can't wait to see you each and every Sunday!!

THIS SUNDAY

2010-11-26T17:21:00.005-05:00

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and that you were all able to have some time off this week.

It was so nice being back in South Carolina for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the day spending time with family and eating large amounts of food. I found myself very thankful for many blessings and people in my life. The shock was how quickly I've found myself so extremely thankful for many of you guys. I can honestly say I look forward to Sunday more than I ever have, and I've missed you guys this week.

I can't wait for Sunday!!

This Sunday many have said they will be out of town so we will be doing one service tomorrow at 11:15am. We will be loading in at 8am. If you are available, please come lend a hand.

Can't wait to see you! Show up ready to take advantage of your serving opportunities and what God wants to do through you at NewSpring Charleston.

LAST SUNDAY

2010-11-23T08:00:00.004-05:00

This past Sunday was incredible!

We watched a message from August titled "I Heart My Church". I've had many requests from people wanting to watch it again and from people wanting to make sure other people who were not able to make it Sunday get to see the message.

Here is the link to the message... http://www.newspring.cc/series/i-heart-my-church/

Please remember that in the message Perry challenged all of us to read the book of Acts this week. I encourage you to dive in and enjoy the beginnings of church history. I'm pretty sure it's applicable to NewSpring Charleston. In fact the first thing I read after taking this job was the book of Acts!

Perry also talked about two other things I want to highlight:

1. At NewSpring we have Owners not Members. Members have rights and Owners have responsibilities! If you are interested in becoming an Owner at NewSpring or finding out more about this, please email us and we will get you on the list for our next class.

2. There is a difference between your attendance and your involvement! This is HUGE! I hope you have been praying about what God wants your part to be in what He is going to do at NewSpring Charleston. These preview services are all about preparing the army, mobilizing the troops and seeing where God wants to use us. If you have not been plugged into a volunteer role there is an opportunity waiting for you.

My highlight from Sunday was that we were able to have some parkers in the parking lot for the first time. What made this so great was that the Holiday Market was also going on at the Convention Center. Our parkers for the 11:15 service parked everyone. I can not imagine a better week to practice parking than when hundreds are showing up to shop for Christmas, and they were served by NewSpring Church. I loved it!!

Something Better! Something More!

THIS SUNDAY

2010-11-20T12:06:00.005-05:00

Tomorrow we have our fourth preview service. I don't know about you, but it feels like it's been about a month since last Sunday. I can't wait for tomorrow!!

For the service tomorrow we are going alllllllll the way back to August. The service we will be watching on Sunday is a message titled "I Heart My Church." Come this weekend and find out why we love NewSpring. I pray that this weekend you will see Jesus's love for you and His place for you at NewSpring Charleston.

This weekend is another great opportunity for you or someone you know to see the heart behind what we do and the heart of our Pastor. We will also have some more tools for us to use in getting the word out about our launch on January 9th.

If you are interested in being involved in NewSpring Charleston please stop by Guest Services this weekend to sign up for your next step.

Remember 84% of Charleston is unchurched, and everything we do in these preview services is preparing us as a church for how God will use us to lower that percentage. Tomorrow will be the best Sunday we have ever had. Don't miss it!!!

LAST SUNDAY

2010-11-16T09:41:00.004-05:00

This past Sunday was so great! We had over 100 people for the first time. We were able to do several things BETTER than we had the previous two weeks and were able to MORE than we had the two previous weeks as well!

"Something BETTER and something MORE than the week before" is our goal each week moving towards January 9th. Without hesitation I know we accomplished that this past week!!

Thank you to all of you have come on board to see God move in Charleston. I love that Perry says you can't plan a move of God, but you have to be prepared for one to happen. I know each week that's what we are doing.

If you have not gotten plugged in or come to check out a preview service yet please join us this Sunday.

Here are some of the volunteer opportunities that are available to you...

KidSpring

Guest Services

Ushers

Parkers

Greeters

Load-in/ Load-out

Production

Facilities Cleaning Team

Campus Safety

(Please email charleston@newspring.cc and we can connect you with someone to get you information and plugged into where you know God wants to use you.)

If you grabbed invite cards this weekend know that we are praying with you for divine appointments for you to give those out this week.

I can not wait until Sunday.

I'll let you know more about it later in the week.

THIS SUNDAY!!

2010-11-11T14:46:00.003-05:00

It is Thursday and I can barely get anything done because I can't stop thinking about Sunday. I wonder if this is what every week will be like from now on. I now get how Perry is so excited each week about the coming weekend and thinks almost every week was and is going to be one of the best ones ever.

This Sunday will be a perfect week for someone who you have been talking to about NewSpring. This weekend's message will paint a picture for them of what a year at NewSpring is like and what NewSpring will be like in Charleston. Please invite people and get them to the Convention Center.

For those of you who have been to our service the last couple of weeks, we will continue with something better and something more than the week before. We are preparing for January 9th and expecting God to obliterate what we imagine!! That is why these first weeks are so crucial. We are learning where and what God wants our roles to be in what He is going to do in Charleston.

If you have not plugged in yet and would like to do so, do not leave this weekend without signing up for a volunteer opportunity or for our next ownership class. I look forward to seeing or meeting you this weekend!

The BEST is yet to come!

You Need To See This!!

LAST SUNDAY

2010-11-08T16:29:00.005-05:00

Preview service #2 is in the books! It was such a great day, and I love that the Charleston campus is having services every week.

We watched a message from 2006 that was loaded with the vision of NewSpring Church. It's awesome how God can use words given to Perry that many years ago to challenge and apply to us TODAY! Who says that satellite campuses don't work?

My favorite part was when Perry talked about being excited about what we are going to see God do in the next six months. That was my favorite because I know that if Perry had been there live on Sunday, he would have said the same thing!

These preview services are giving us a great time to get to know each other and prepare for our official launch on January 9th. I would love to have you join us, and I will be blogging later this week about this coming Sunday.

Guest Post: Ali Zacker

2010-11-03T09:27:00.011-04:00

Hi- I’m Ali Zacker and I am so excited to serve as the Charleston Campus KidSpring Director! Yankee, Clemson Diving alumnus, blonde, amateur baker, runner, middle child…these words can all be used to describe me.

I moved around a lot when I was younger but would say that I grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with my mom and dad, my older brother and my younger sister. When I graduated from high school, I moved to Clemson, South Carolina, where I was a springboard diver at Clemson University. It was during my time at Clemson that I began to attend and eventually join NewSpring Church. Since I can remember I have had a passion for children, to this day my family jokes that “you can always find Ali sitting at the kids table,” and throughout high school and most of college I was affectionately known among friends as “mom.” So, naturally, I found my “sweet spot” serving in KidSpring. In May of 2009 I graduated from Clemson with a BS in Industrial Engineering. After graduating I left for Perth, Australia, where I spent four months doing mission work and attending a Sports Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). After Australia I went to Mexico City, Mexico, and spent three months doing an outreach before returning back home to the states. For the past seven months I have been living in Anderson, South Carolina, and working for NewSpring, first as the Anderson Campus Discipleship Intern and then full time as the Assistant to the Central Discipleship Director. Now, I am moving to Charleston and I can’t wait to be a part of what God is already doing in this city and the incredible things I know He is going to do!

LAST SUNDAY

2010-11-02T10:03:00.003-04:00

This past Sunday we had our first pre-view Service for the NewSpring Charleston Campus. I am still bouncing inside with excitement. What a day it was to see things with "fresh eyes" and for the first time. It was also a day to celebrate all that God has done up to this point and all He is going to do in the future!

On Sunday we had an Ownership Class for people interested in being a part of NewSpring Charleston. The Ownership Class is the process by which you join NewSpring and are then able to volunteer. We will be holding more of these if you were not able to attend. So, please email charleston@newspring.cc if you are interested.

The next ten weeks we will be preparing for January 9th which is our official LAUNCH! We will be training volunteers and working out the vision we have for how NewSpring does church. If you or someone you know wants to get involved please join us. We will meet every Sunday at the North Charleston Coliseum Convention Center in Ballroom A at 9:15am and 11:15am.

I would love to have you join us this coming Sunday and be a part of seeing God do more than we can ask or imagine!

What you can do? Come with me to Florence!

2010-09-07T12:29:00.008-04:00

Many of you have asked a great question, "Andy, what can I be doing now before the Charleston Campus launches? What do you need?"

I love this question and until now my answer has been, "not much... just pray and give!" Which sounds like a churchy, cop-out answer, but it's not. It's a need we have and will always have. For those of you who participate in praying and giving, you will see and experience being a part of NewSpring Charleston unlike those who do not.

But now I need you to do something else as well!

September 19th - October 24th

I will be going to Florence every Sunday, and I want you to go with me. This will be a great opportunity for you to see what it will be like in Charleston as well as get the opportunity to shadow someone volunteering in the area in which you are interested in serving.

This is how it will work. It would work best if you could plan to go two weeks. The first week you go, you will be able to see ALL the volunteer opportunities. Then, the second week, you will have the opportunity to shadow a Florence volunteer where you think you want to serve. Plan on going and being there for both services. This will give you the chance to attend a service as well as become familiar with how volunteering will work at Newspring Charleston.

Please email me the dates you are available and would like to go. Also include where you think you might want to serve. (Parkers, Greeters, Ushers, Production, Load in, Load out, Guest Services Desk, Resource Center, and KidSpring)

Guest Post: Steve Barlow, Charleston Campus Worship Leader

2010-08-26T10:37:00.007-04:00

Hi! Steve here. Just wanted to tell you a little bit about myself and to let you know how pumped I am to be serving as the Charleston Campus worship leader! I grew up in central Florida. My love for music definitely stems from my parents who have been performing in various southern gospel groups and churches for over forty years. I spent most of my childhood involved in church and sports. I started playing guitar at 16 and really got passionate about music. My involvement in sports led me to receive a baseball scholarship to Anderson College to be a pitcher. Baseball was my main focus until I injured my shoulder. God had a different plan for me and I began to pursue music with a renewed passion. Around the same time, I also began pursuing my future wife, Andrea, who I met at Anderson. While at Anderson we were also involved with Perry’s Bible study and later with Newspring Church from its inception. We married in 2001 and shortly after moved to Nashville, TN. While there, I had the opportunity to play guitar for various bands and occasionally lead worship at our church. In August 2006 we had our first daughter Evelyn, or Evie for short. Although we were living in TN, I kept up with the amazing growth that Newspring was experiencing. In 2007 I felt like God wanted us to move back to SC so that we could get plugged in again at Newspring. I started playing guitar for the band in December that year and have been a part of the worship team ever since. In June 2009 we were blessed with the birth of our twin girls Daphne and Iris. It has been an exciting few years and it just keeps getting better. We are looking forward to what God has in store for us and for the Newspring Charleston Campus!

Read This Now!!

2010-08-23T15:58:00.002-04:00

I was going to do a post this week about the coming weekend. The good news for me is Perry already did one.

http://www.perrynoble.com/2010/08/23/dear-newspring-family/

Charleston let's do our part. I will be sending out the list of locations for service watching groups this weekend in a couple of days and I would like for you to pray about who you need to get to one of these locations to hear the message.

We have over 100 names of people on the blog we have been praying to see their lives changed for eternity. This could be the weekend!!
