The excitement is here!

As we near completion of the ARC, I can't even begin to explain the excitement within my soul. What's so exciting you might ask? Is it the fact that we're going to have an amazing gym where hundreds of children, youth, and adults will come together and experience the love of Christ? Is it the new mega kitchen and dinning hall where hundreds of people will not only find the physical food we all require, but the food of the Spirit that changes lives? Is it the new classroom space where many who simply have no real place to call home in our church find the hope of a church family? Is it that I know we’ll have the largest youth worship center possibly in the state that will draw hundreds of teenagers? Is it that the cafe inside our youth worship center will serve hundreds of teenagers a drink of hot coffee while building Christian relationships? Is it just that the building and everything in it is simply unbelievable?

I'd have to say it's real simple. My excitement comes only because of just one; just one child, one teenager, or one adult who because of these awesome things will come to know my Savior Jesus Christ and the hope that only He can bring. Just one is worth all the money, sweat, and tears! Just one brings me the excitement that I can’t even begin to explain within my soul, however I'm convinced there will not only be just one, but hundreds! There are great days ahead for the kingdom and Cleary Baptist Church. I want to challenge you to look through each picture posted here and dream with me of how we can tell the world that Jesus lives through what He has given us!
