What if we had not planted the Hobart Campus?

Our own movie poster advertising "The Waiting Room" series

I often get asked questions like these about the Hobart campus:

“Are you growing?”

“What’s your attendance?”

“How many people are new since you launched?”

These are good questions and at the heart of them is essentially, “Was it worth it?”

One of the measurements of success that is much harder to quantify but easily the best measurement to really focus on is stories of transformation.  I’ve written about several of these stories on my personal blog last year and would love for you to read them here.

One recent story is of a couple coming to Suncrest-Hobart after receiving our mailing last year.  Now get this, they recieved the mailing and did nothing with it for almost 6 months.  But when the time was right, when they were looking for a church, they remembered us.  So they came, were impacted by the message and hospitality and now want to take their next step of faith by being immersed!

What makes this an even better story is that they are now bringing their family!

If we ask the question, “What if we had not planted Hobart Campus?”  The answer is that lives like these would not have been changed.

I think we take the same perspective when it comes to Highland, South Bend and Liberia, our Jesus Mission.  What if we don’t plant campuses and help with the Liberian ministry?  You know the answer.
