Monster weekend

What a great weekend!  A few highlights and things to come:

• We opened the North Charleston Campus (the Dream Center).  Sam & Joan Lesky, Kenny Gerald and the team were awesome.  We had almost 600 people show up and the services were electric with the presence and power of God.  For those who don't know, North Charleston has been called one of the most dangerous cities in America because of the crime and murder rates.  Sam told them on Sunday that he grew up in Camden, NJ, so this was small potatoes when it comes to tough.  He is the perfect guy for the job!  Pray for them... God loves North Charleston and so do we!  Here's a few pictures from the weekend:
• 

• We had another record attendance weekend at all of our campuses.  A total of 8,745 people gathered for worship!
• This weekend we will be opening the Asheville, NC campus.  Craig and Jeanette Snook, Robert Williams, and the team are gearing up for a great debut.  The Asheville paper ran an article last week on an outreach project that they are doing.  You can read it here.  We also gave out movie tickets along with an invitation to return to the Cinema on Sunday to experience Seacoast Church.  Pray for a great turnout and for lives to be challenge by the gospel.
• We launched 4 new churches through the ARC, which is our church planting arm.  Churches were planted this past weekend in Washington DC, Decatur AL, Huntsville AL, and San Diego CA.  The total attendance at all four churches was over 800 people.  We are now opening a new church every 23 days.  Way to go Billy Hornsby, John Bolin, Ben Mayer, and the ARC team.

Greg, I've been reading and hearing about Seacoast opening up new churches all over. It's great to see how God can take one little church in a movie theater and make it grow into such a huge ministry. Well, I just wanted to let you know that your ministry has been extended around the world. You may not remember me, but I'm pretty sure you know my parents and brother. My sister-in-law even works for the church. I'm Pete Prikazsky. I joined the United States Marine Corps over a year and a half ago. Now my wife and I are in Okinawa, Japan. Due to my brother's encouragement, I have been listening to the messages at work and at home with my wife. We are still looking for a church that fits our needs here, so the messages are a great supplement. I enjoy listening from here and I look forward to coming back and visiting... who knows when.

I wanted to take a brief moment to say how proud I am of Seacoast and it's giving position for the Glory of God.

Also, I am a big fan of Sam & Joan Lesky, I consider Sam a great friend and know that he will do very well and that through him, God will allow miracles to take place in & around North Charleston. Thanks Sam & Joan for your commitment to the Glory of our Heavenly Father.
