A Secret Peek Inside The Church Tours at Children's Pastor's Conference (Pt.1)


Today I led the pre-conference church tours as part of Children's Pastor's Conference. We visited three churches in the Orlando area. We were inspired and encouraged as we saw what God is doing in these wonderful churches. Here's an inside peek at the first church we visited and the awesome space they have created for kids and families.

In 2008, 20 years after the church began and with over 1200 people in attendance, Cornerstone had to continue doing church as always or make decisions to change and lead where they had never been before. The bold decision was made to change. Since that year the name of the church, the strategy and the allocation of space to children and families has transformed their ministry. By making the decision to stop doing a few good programs they repositioned the ministry to do what used to seem impossible in the creative realm of reaching families. They increased space for kids and students by 50% without adding any new square footage to their building.

Family Ministry Pastor Matt Nickels and his team opened their doors and gave us an inside look at their ministry. Here are some pictures from the visit.
