Getting Ready!!

The progress on Stage 123 is simply amazing!!  We are hoping to open this new worship center sometime after Labor Day.  We'll be using this space as a second worship venue on Sunday mornings, for student ministry, as a cafe, for Inquirer's Lunches, etc.  We had a great meeting last night on creating the right environment and experience that fits our culture and helps us achieve our vision of connecting more people to Christ & His community. 

As far as Sunday mornings go, we'll need hundreds of Rock Bridgers to choose to worship in Stage 123. The main reason for this is we are simply out of space in the Wink (especially at 11:00) and cannot reach new people (which is a big part of our vision).  However, we want the experience in Stage 123 to be as good as if not BETTER than what happens in the Wink Theatre.  That way we can easily encourage people to worship in the new space AND reach a new wave of people through the new environment and the additional seats that will be available.  Our goal is that you will either not care which space you worship in or that a good number of you might prefer to worship in Stage 123.

Here's a few reasons why someone might PREFER Stage 123: 

• smaller space


• easier to hang out and fellowship with others


• larger cafe/lobby


• Starbucks type coffee (expressos, etc.)


• easier to "get in & get out"


• closer to Children areas


• the space is simply cool (built in the 1920's ... used to shape eternities!)


• better view of me :)
