It just goes to show that when you trust God BIG things happen. I was with the kiddies (which was awesome) but I would really like to have a video of the service.

I was glad to see your service lived up to what I had hoped. The band was quit good. Your message was good.I think you may out grow your theater soon, If you had that many on first service. I think most people will be back. I’ve been going to Cedar Creek for 3 years and hoped that they would open one in Monroe- it’s like they did now.I’ve been telling people they gotta go to Church now I can tell them Monroe too.

Who would have known…
I think God has a way of always doing things in our life to make us wonder! I wondered if elavate was right for me..and Icame to understand I am where he wants me! I was so sure that no one would come…and I was wayyyyyyy wrong! Why would I ever not trust God? He came and put a passion for the people at our church on my heart! God is good!!!! Shane

I can’t believe we’re just getting started. The energy and buzz in the theater was amazing, but more so the excitement of what God brings. I had to hold back tears as I looked over the overwhelming amount of people…because the faces I saw put in perspective every frustration, every tear shed over something not happening the way I thought it should, every trial to get to this point…it was all totally worth the sacrifice.
And there’s more to come! We sure did launch, at amazing speed. But it’s not because of us, it’s because God draws us to Him for His joy, His honor.

I can honestly say that I am so proud to be apart of Elevate. I stood in an unrealistic awe on Sunday as the people kept flowing in and my heart wept at the movement that God is making on this city. I keep replaying it in my mind excited about what next week will bring! AWESOME!!!!

I’m still in the “awe” stage where I’m still looking back and asking, “What just happened?” The amazing thing, I mean the really God-Big kinda thing, is that all this is just the beginning! That almost seems a little overwhelming at this point.
I am so encouraged to hear these amazing stories and perspectives from all of you coming out of our grand opening. This is the kinda stuff that will put God on the map in Monroe, Michigan. I don’t think it ever gets old hearing how God is touching people’s lives. Thanks to all of you for sharing your stories… it’s the espresso in my cup, which definitely overfloweth!

I am so excited to be hearing the feedback from those in attendance yesterday. A friend of Adam’s once told him that when planting a church, make it a church you would want to go to. I think we have successfully done this with Elevate.
Sunday morning I thought about the hundreds of churches we have sat in, prayed in, and preached in all around the world, some on pineapple plantations in the Philippines others in rural villages in Russia, and still more in small and large cities across America, still none have compared to the feeling of attending and participating in OUR grand opening in Monroe.
The Lord has done great things for us and we are filled with joy!

JC: thanks for sharing your story and welcome to the Elevate family

Aaron L & Kristin K: appreciate the kind words about me personally (checks are in the mail by the way ha) – truly humbled to be part of all this

Hey Heath: Elevate is lucky to have a friend like you bro – I’ll never forget the Pre-Launch prayer gathering I attended for COTH-SB campus. It helped expand my vision!

Dave, Aaron, Justin & Ryan: you guys are spot on – its all about God touching people’s lives (our own included)

Steve: If you liked the band, you won’t want to miss what we have planned for Easter and yes sometimes the band will play more than they did this past Sunday – glad you enjoyed the service!

Emotions were definitely hard to keep back yesterday. It just proves God is BIG – even if we think our vision is big, His is bigger.

The stories that are being told by the people that attended on Sunday are so encouraging to us! Thanks so much for making our Grand Opening a success.

I am looking forward to the next months ahead eagerly waiting to see what God can do through Elevate!
