Preparing to Be 1 Church in 2 Locations

by mike p on February 20, 2013 in Vertical Bladen, Vertical Church with No comments

On June 1st of 2009, Donnie Paschall (Vertical Executive Pastor) and I began a fast seeking God for direction concerning the discontent and stirring within our hearts. One of the overwhelming leadings that we both individually sensed during that time was that God was not only calling us to start a church (GULP!!!), He was calling us to start a church that would start churches. We felt that God wanted to use this future ministry to reach people throughout our region. We felt that this was about more than 1 building. I cannot believe that in 10 days we will be 1 Church in 2 Locations.

I am excited about this opportunity that we have to meet in Lumberton AND at Bladen Community College.

What kind of preparations have we been making to be ready for this paradigm shift within our ministry?

  • We have been purchasing equipment, securing finances, designing signage…
  • We have been planning campaigns, making preparations…
  • We have been thinking through systems and making sure that we understand what makes Vertical, “vertical”.
  • Last night we had 2 bands rehearsing at our rehearsal space. 2 locations means 2 excellent, Vertical Worship’s.
  • We have been training and empowering leadership to lead Vertical Bladen in a “vertical” way. We are making sure that  our vertical dna be the same in Bladen leaders that it is in Lumberton leaders.
  • We are striving to be as ready as we can be. Will there be challenges? Absolutely! But we will deal with them as they come. This is about 96 thousand people – people who don’t attend anyone’s church.

One of the things I am most excited about is our Bladen Location Pastor, Joey Autry. I BELIEVE IN THIS DUDE!!!! HE FIRES ME UP!!! I know that God brought Joey into our ministry from this reason. The moment discussion began about him joining our team we recognized that God was probably bringing him to Vertical to TAKE VERTICAL BACK to Bladen County. He is equipped, prepared and ready to help people in Bladen County who don’t like church meet God!

This weekend, as we close our series, “BIG C, little c”, I will talk more about how we will be 1 church in 2 locations.

Tattooed: Forever Marked by Christ

by mike p on February 19, 2013 in Vertical Bladen with No comments

Today’s post is written by our Bladen Location Pastor, Joey Autry. Only 11 days until the weekly launch of Vertical Bladen!!

Tattooed: Forever Marked by Christ

I saw something that blew my stinking mind on a visit to Anderson, SC in 2010. Yep, that Anderson, SC. College age students were RUNNING to get in the doors of a …..CHURCH! Imagine that. God had been doing something in my Spirit for about a year. That visit to NewSpring Church had been preceded by a Catalyst One Day event at North Point Community Church where I saw what could be and should be in a local church. Andy Stanley and Craig Groeschel spoke with a message of hope and renewed fervor for His Church and it rocked me to my core. All the way home from Atlanta I couldn’t shake what I heard and experienced that day. A move of God that cannot be stopped by man. That it was time for His people to step up, get off the bleachers, and begin making a difference in our area for Jesus. What I didn’t realize was that Jesus was ‘marking’ me with a new passion for spreading the Gospel and to make disciples. That led to some God orchestrated conversations where I began to brainstorm with a team of men from Lumberton what He was leading us too in our area of influence.

Mike P, Donnie P, Brandon Meadows and a few others were headed to ‘Drive Conference’ in Atlanta. On the way down, we stopped in Anderson and NewSpring Church for their Sunday night service. We arrived a little late (due to a Brandon Meadows ER visit which is a blog in itself) and as we arrived on campus, I was blown away by the scene. People all over the parking lot making sure we were welcomed and loved. Volunteers holding the doors for us with a genuineness that was contagious. College students running to get inside the auditorium (that’s insane!) We were so late that we actually had to sit in the atrium and watch via monitors.The experience was just wow! They observed communion that night and it was as if Jesus was speaking directly into my soul, “I’m calling you to something more.”

Church planting had never ever been on my radar. Coaching for UNC or the LA Dodgers maybe, but to plant a church? In our area? You’d have to be crazy. But God forged this team’s heart on this trip. A couple of the folks on the trip were people I had never met or spoken too. But He was doing something IN us that I just can’t describe. When we arrived at the conference in Atlanta, one of the folks that traveled with us said to me at one point during a break between sessions: “Oh my goodness, ya’ll are about to start a church aren’t you?” We had not gotten that far in discussions but to hear her say it and what I felt in my spirit just screamed “Yes we are.”

Tattoos are meant to be permanent. They’re not something to take likely or play around with. It marks one’s outer body for life. Church planting was not something I had ever planned on or dreamed of doing. But after almost three years on this journey with an incredible wife, lead team, and unbelievable volunteer force, I can’t see myself doing anything else. To see life change week in and week out is indescribable. To see people spiritually go from death to life, to see the baptisms and hope that is found in no one else except Jesus Christ is/has been AWESOME!

In two weeks, we ‘GET TO’ plant again. This time in Bladen County which is our home. I hear almost daily how people can’t wait to experience Vertical Church. With over 19,000 people who don’t attend anyone’s church in Bladen County, I can’t wait to serve alongside incredible churches and leaders to help lead people to be passionate about Jesus so they can lead others to Jesus. Personally I can’t wait for children and adults to be forever ‘tattooed’ by Jesus Christ. Souls forever marked. People forever changed.

Ever Wonder Why Others Aren’t as Loyal as You Are?

by mike p on November 30, 2012 in Message Series, Vertical Bladen, Vertical Pre-Launch with No comments

These “Forgotten Words” have been incredible. No doubt do every one of them have the ability to work together to change the world we live in. I am looking very forward to bringing the last FW to you this weekend. That word:

LOYALTY.

It seems that many people in our world have forgotten all about loyalty. For many in our “Me-driven” society, loyalty towards others has been replaced by a loyalty to ourselves. Maybe you would say, “I’m loyal to others, why do people not return my loyalty?”

This weekend we will dig into what loyalty looks like, what the bible says about it and why others are not as loyal to you as you feel you are to them. So it’s a date, right?!? See you Sunday morning for that!

Tonite, Friday night, November 30th, Join us for a chance to spread the word about Vertical Church! The City of Lumberton and the Carolina Civic Center Present The Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony & Movie In Historic Downtown will take place at 6:00pm. Musical entertainment provided by:

The City of Lumberton “D.A.R.E. Band” and The musical cast from “A Robeson County Christmas” preview.
The movie “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” will
begin at 7:30pm in the Carolina Civic Center.
FREE to the Public.
FREE Horse & Carriage Rides, Tractor Hay Rides, Hot Cocoa and Cookies.
Hot Dogs and Chick-fil-A meal items will be available for purchase.

And don’t forget, Sunday night is our Vertical Bladen Christmas at the former Traxx Restaurant in Downtown Bladenboro. Do you know people in or near Bladen County who don’t “do church” but need to connect to the Church? Bring them to this important gathering where we’ll share, THROUGH THE CHRISTMAS STORY, why Vertical Church is coming to Bladen County. The meeting will start at 5:30 but arrive early for the pre-meeting festivities and warm up your cold bones with some hot-Vertical-chocolate or coffee.
