Rome’s First Look at CLC

So this past weekend was the 4th of July…in Rome we have a “Salute to America” Fireworks Festival type thing…Cloverleaf thought this would be the perfect community event to “unveil” ourselves to the community…so here’s what we did and how it went down:

We weren’t able to secure a vendor booth space so we were forced [...]

Vision Becoming Reality

I look back on my life and if you would have told me 2 years ago that I would be following God’s calling to start a new church in Rome, GA then I would have laughed at you, and slapped you in the face…
I remember (vividly) the steps and process of turning a chaotic jumble [...]

On the Horizon

So it’s been a while since I last blogged…
It’s been a combination of moving to Rome, starting work on Cloverleaf Church, and making a concerted attempt to take a little rest from social media.  Now I don’t twitter and blog near as much as others, but I could tell that it was consuming a considerable [...]

Visual Communication

Which is the most important element in a worship experience?…Is it the speaking (cause that’s what really ministers to people’s hearts…)…Is it the music/singing (cause it invokes emotion and brings us to the throne of Christ…)…Is it the things that people see and experience visually (since we are such a visual culture…)
I don’t think that [...]

When Staying is Easy

In 4 days I’ll no longer be a resident of Kennesaw, GA…Rome, GA will be my new address and I truly embark on the next chapter God has for my life…Cloverleaf Church!  Not that what I’ve been doing up till now hasn’t been work towards that, but it’s different when you’re physically moving and leaving [...]

Staff Chemistry

As I’m getting ready to leave Piedmont Church, I look back and think about how much I’m going to miss the staff that I currently work with.  We’re to the point that each person is getting along great with the other and the success and effectiveness of Piedmont is rising as a result.  For me [...]

Anti-”Anti-Church”

It’s a confusing title but just hear me out…Cloverleaf Church IS going to be a different kind of church, there’s no doubt about that…we’re going to do things differently than other churches do and function differently than other churches function.  I don’t want to be like any other church…but that doesn’t mean that I want [...]

Crazy Weekend Recap

As most of you know this weekend was Easter weekend…well at Piedmont we decided to put all of our “eggs” in one basket so to speak…we wanted to create an experiential weekend that encouraged people to stay in town through Sunday afternoon, then go out of town for Spring Break…I think we were successful…so here’s [...]

Technology Fast Unplanned…

So I had been toying with the idea of fasting from my phone in any way that makes it more than a phone (i.e. Twitter, internet, email, apps, etc…).  I mean it wasn’t like I had a iPhone or anything…I had a Blackberry Curve and it was a great phone…I love it…stable…and plus I don’t [...]

What’s Happening @ Piedmont

Here are some updates about what’s happening at Piedmont Church in the next couple of months:

We are in week 3 of Q&A with Ike Reighard…this series is pretty ground-breaking for Piedmont…it takes on the format of a Late Night talk show in every way possible.  If you have people in your life with questions about [...]
