Yesterday was an amazing day! I was able to be at the Grovetown campus for the first time. We had a total of 210 people....WOW! I am so proud to be a part of such a great a church. My dad is doing a great job leading that team and Cliff and the band are rockin' it out every week. We are blessed! If you go to Grovetown, keep up the great work. If you don't, please keep them in your prayers as they make the name of Jesus famous in Grovetown.

A New Day!

It's a new day at the Creek. Sunday we added our second campus in Grovetown and it was awesome! The G-team worked so hard to get ready for the opening of this campus and the work paid off. We had 358 people show up. How awesome is that! Things went really smooth. A few bumps here and there but overall it was great! I can't wait to see how they continue to grow and reach the Grovetown area for Christ. IF you live in Grovetown check it out this Sunday at 10:30 at Grovetown High School. http://stevenscreekchurch.com/

It's finally here!

Well, It's finally here! Stevens Creek Grovetown launches tomorrow and it will be an historic day in the life of Stevens Creek Church. Thanks to all who have worked so very very hard to make tomorrow possible. I can't wait to see all of the lives that will be changed by the ministries of this campus. If you live in the Grovetown area check it out tomorrow at Grovetown High School 10:30. Go G-team!

Are You Ready For Some Football?

I love this time of year. College football is underway and Pro football starts this Thursday night. My team , the Tampa Bay Bucs, play this Sunday against the How 'Bout Them Cowboys. I think we will be awful this year but I still love to watch them. So don't expect to see me hanging around after the 1130 services this fall. I will be at out the door to get home to see the Bucs play. Happy football everybody!

A Great Heritage

This world lost a great saint last Saturday night. My pawpaw Sturgell left this world to join my mawmaw in Heaven after a long battle with cancer. What a great man of God he was. He served his church as a volunteer his whole life. I remember him being Sunday School Superintendent and driving the the church bus to pick up kids who didn't have a ride to church. Man, he loved being in church. He was such a faithful servant. He taught my dad what it meant to be a man of character and to love God more than anything and because of that I am the man I am today. I pray that I can transfer that same great heritage to my two boys. We will miss my pawpaw greatly but know that he has gone to the place that he had dreamed about his whole life. I love you pop!

Brand New Stevens Creek Church Website

The website is finally done. We've been trying to get a new website up for about two years now and this week it is finally up and running. Just wanted to give a shout out to Brennan Baxter who has put in a ridiculous amount of hours to make it happen. Also, to Jeff Brotherton who helped Brennan with graphics and creative direction. These guys are incredible and I'm honored to have them on my staff. Check it out at http://stevenscreekchurch.com/ You're going to love it!

Where did the summer go?

Where did the summer go? It seemed like yesterday my boys were getting out of school for the summer and now that same summer is GONE! We have had a great time though. We were able to go to the beach three times. The first time was just Me, April and the boys. We went to Myrtle Beach for a few days at the beginning of June. I love going with just us but it is no relaxing vacation with two boys under ten. They constantly want your attention....no really, CONSTANTLY! I had to keep reminding myself that in a few years I will wish they wanted to play with me. They grow up too fast.

Our second beach trip was to Oak Island, NC with April's family. We always have a great time there. We have gone for the last 8 years. It's a small beach town with nothing to do and that's what makes it great. Just rental houses all along the beach. It's always a very relaxing week. We love it!

Our last beach week was in Daytona Beach with my family. This one is the complete opposite of Oak Island. It was crowded and busy and all you could ever want to do and FUN! The place we stay has a lazy river, 3 huge pools, 4 Jacuzzis an outdoor putting green, a nine hole putt putt course on the 4th floor and I could go on and on. It was a lot of fun. My brother Ben was able to be there the whole week and the boys so enjoyed spending time with their crazy uncle.

Well that was my summer.....can't believe it's gone.
