The Best Part of C3...

C3 was a pretty phenomenal conference. Fellowship church has definitely pushed the envelope in the area of church creativity. If all we did was fly our staff to Dallas, walk into the facilities and see the stage set-up complete with hundreds of LED's it would have been worth it.

On top of that, however, we got to hear great messages from world-class speakers like Ed Young jr., Brian Houston, T. D. Jakes, and our very own Perry Noble.

All of our exposure to creative facilities, lights, music, and speakers was a huge success, but the best part of the trip was definitely the time we got to spend as a staff. I mean, how can you top being with the guys while they are making sound affects at take off. Or, almost causing a 50 car pile up on 121N while trying to merge across 35 lanes of traffic to keep up with Chunks who was leading our caravan. Or, when I accidentally called the female security guard at Avis Chunks (it's a long story).

The best time we spent as a staff was definitely the time we spent critically thinking through our strengths and limitations as a church and as a staff. Pastor challenged us to think through the things that we're doing well and the things that we need to fix and as a result we're walking away from C3 with a higher bar. And that, is irreplaceable.

All in all, C3 was a huge success.
