...if you know where to look. Recently i found some good people and they are at Granger Community Church in South Bend, IN. I checked out their website months ago and was consistently drawn back to see what they were up to. Then i started checking out their staff blogs and was compelled to pay closer attention.
At that point i found Mark Waltz, Pastor of Connections, who has a very similar position to mine here at Southland. Not long after that i discovered that they were having a one-day seminar that covered Culture & Communications so both Derrick Purvis, our Communications Director, and i decided we should go check them out in person.
My assumptions were correct -- there are some great people at GCC. Their staff & volunteers were very kind, competent and compelling. Most of my time was spent with Mark and he is exceptional at what he does. I was inspired and challenged with what he shared.
But of everything i have learned about GCC over the past few months the thing i admire most is the consistent encouragement and support they show each other. Whether it is through a blog, on Twitter & Facebook, or in person they exude a geniune care and respect for one another that is truly admirable. I appreciate that.
