- Today was NO SHOW Sunday at LifeQuest. We asked all the volunteers to not serve today. ONLY Security and KidzQuest.
- Why you ask, because I wanted to show everyone that LifeQuest is NOT a one man show. It is a team effort of 240 volunteers.
- The faces of everyone was priceless when they walked in a and there was no one to greet them, no cafe (coffee & donuts), no ushers help you get seated, no parking lot attendants, no book store, no 411 booth.
No light person, sound, you get the point. - It was Different but with a purpose as we showed everyone that LifeQuest is a collection of the Body of Christ locally to reach people far from God! 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 & Ephesians 4:11-13
- I preach passionately about who the church and who we are suppose to be and how we are suppose to operate.
- At one point I got so passionate I thought I was going to come out of my skin. That was when I was talking about how churches expect pastors to do EVERYTHING. That is un-biblical. Pastor's are to Equip the saints to do ministry.
- I taught everyone there and on video that EVERYONE is a minister!
- At the end we had a lot of new volunteers sign up to serve.
- Talked about the NEW Sunday 1PM Worship Experience starting SEPTEMBER 13th
- At the end we collected change - for over a month now people have been saving their change and we filled two wheel barrows with change. What an amazing sight to see the generosity of everyone that calls LifeQuest Church their home. The change will go toward the Next Generation Project - renovating the new Children's Building for KidzQuest!
- Next week is going to be a week you will want to have your friends and family at. Powerful presentation of the Gospel! The band and everyone volunteer will be back.
- As I close out, let me just say that I love every Volunteer @ LifeQuest Church you guys are the Life Blood of our church community.

Sunday Night Mind Dump
Another Amazing Day at LifeQuest Church. Very Different but with a purpose.

Children's Ministry Building Underway
Guest Blog: Karen Blankenship
It has been an exciting week at LifeQuest as the demolition began on the North Building. Dave Daut and his team have worked long hours to begin the process...filling up the dumpster in no time at all! Thanks to all the volunteers who have served Jesus by donating their time!
We are excited about the financial pledges and contributions that have been made so far in our Next Generation Project. The Next Generation Project is just another example of the way LifeQuest volunteers step up to the plate to do whatever it takes. It takes countless hours of time, energy and money to keep reaching people and to make a difference for God’s Kingdom. When you are watch people walk onto a stage holding up signs as a testimony to how God has changed lives, you realize that it really is ‘All About Relationships.’ It’s about the marriages that have been saved. It’s about the drug addict who finally surrendered his life to Christ. It’s about the woman who was finally freed from the guilt of her past through the power of God’s forgiveness. And it’s about the thousands of others who need to hear the message of Jesus Christ.
Thanks for your support, LifeQuest! Can't wait to see what the next chapter holds as we continue on mission of 'leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.'

Next Generation Project
What Is The Next Generation Project?
The NEXT GENERATION PROJECT is a new initiative that will fund several projects needed to lead more people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Did you know the most opportune time for someone to give their life to Jesus is between the ages of 4 through 14? This means we must do whatever it takes to make sure our children's ministry is not only relevant and life changing, but we must have adquate facilities for this ministry to grow.
What Can We Accomplish With This Project?
The NEXT GENERATION PROJECT is specifically designed to engage our church in something that will expand our impact for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It will take us to our next step to fulfilling our God given purpose in our desire to see our community transformed for Christ.
How Does The Project Work?
All the funds given to the NEXT GENERATION PROJECT will be applied to several ministry projects, The more we give together, the more we will be able to accomplish together.
What Are The Projects?
The NEXT GENERATION PROJECT will include renovating the front part of the North Building to provide room for our Children's Ministry to grow, refinishing the floors in the south building, resurfacing the parking lot, and signage. Our existing children's facilities are already maxed out during our prime-time services. This effort will focus on optimizing space we already own and continue to prepare plans for future expansion.
How Can I Participate?
1. Please Pray about how God will have you participate.
2. Determine your contribution to this project. Please give to the Next Generation Project above and beyond your normal regular giving over the next 4 months.
What If?
If 10 families would give $125 per week over the next 4 months
If 20 families would give $60 per week over the next 4 months
If 10 families would give $50 per week over the next 4 months
If 20 families would give $30 per week over the next 4 months
If 5 families would give $5 per week over the next 4 months
The Next Generation Project would
reach its goal of $57,000.
3. Fill out your commitment card, then listen for stories of lives you have heped to transform.
Thank you for your prayerful and generous participation to the NEXT GENERATION PROJECT. If every family does their part, we will have everything we need to accomplish these focused efforts to share the love of Jesus in our community and our world.
When we celebrate 4 months from now, you will be able to say, "I was a part of the amazing and awesome miracles that God accomplished."
This past year has been one in which we have seen God do some amazing things. We have grown together as we have witnessed lives transformed through the power of Jesus Christ. We have helped to transform our community as we have ministered to those less fortunate than us. We have stayed focused on creating a worship experience on Sunday morning that allows those far from God to find out who He really is. We have been intentional about making disciples and then reproducing them. And we have focused on creating relationships with each other, as well as those who don't know Jesus yet.
With God's help, LifeQuest's impact as a church will be even greater through the Next Generation Project . I believe God has a purpose for each and every one of us and that He has placed us at this point in history for a specific reason. Just as it is recorded in the book of Esther, "And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14)
I am so grateful for your faithful support to your church family and am fully committed as your Pastor. I encourage you to join me and the leadership of LifeQuest in supporting the Next Generation Project! Please prayerfully consider how God can use your time, talent and treasure to support this exciting opportunity to change lives for Jesus!
