Yesterday I was hanging out with a few of our staff for lunch and found myself marveling at the uniqueness of each of them. In our random chatter I observed: Matt – knows all things media and video. He really does. He was rattling off names of music video directors, which videos they have done, […]
I attended both Nashville and Dickson today. I love it when I get to do a little campus hopping. As I bounced between both campuses I couldn’t help but be amazed by our team! Each week all of our staff work tirelessly to create environments for people to engage in worship. Oftentimes their efforts go […]
In my “Create a Crisis” series I’ve talked about what a Thematic Goal is and what the process is like for creating one. Today I thought I would reveal what our Cross Point Staff Thematic Goal is for 2009. This year our thematic goal is about securing the foundation among our staff. As I was […]
