I think that one of the requirements for planting a church - is filling out a ton of forms every couple days.

These things have a million questions ranging from how many books you are reading to how many doors you have knocked on in the past 30 days. I always feel so strange answering that particular question… Why?

I am not a door to door salesman trying to convince people to buy my “product”. We (and our entire launch team) spend a lot of time and a good bit of money doing whatever it takes to build real relationships with the people in our community. Buying food (cookies, cake, whatever) for the people in our neighborhoods (check). Buying a million doughnuts for the college students in the dorms at KSU (check). Planning random cookouts for people that we don’t even know (check). That is our “knock on doors” philosophy.

We are trying to love people where they are…period. Doesn’t matter if they go to Freedom Church, the church down the street, or they would rather be cheesegrated than show up at a church. Until we show people that we care about them - with no strings attached - our impact will be very limited….
