ARC Pastor TJ McCormick planted Coastal Community Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. in 2009. Church planting has been the most difficult, challenging and incredibly rewarding thing that I have done in my life! My journey over the past two years of planting Coastal Community Church has be an incredible learning and growing experience for me. I had the privilege of being part of a phenomenal church plant, Bayside Community Church, for seven years. Over those years I grew as a leader, husband, friend and pastor. My years at Bayside helped prepare me for planting our church in September 2009. Venturing View full post →

By Greg Surratt We just got home from a week in Dallas attending the ARC AllAccess12 conference at Gateway Church. What an incredible event. Nearly 3,000 people from 18 countries came to experience the power and presence of Jesus. We came away energized, encouraged, and empowered (sounds like a Baptist sermon). Here are ten observations: I love the spirit of the Gateway house I want to be a history maker (via Craig Groeschel) There’s a life giving way to ask someone to move their car (via John Gray) If church planting doesn’t work out, some of those guys could make View full post →
