Planting Again... in Macon

Things have been super busy - as usual!
We are working hard in Milledgeville and are excited that New City Church Milledgeville is moving to John Milledge Academy on January 15.  The move will provide them with enough space to go from 3 services to 1.  The move will also allow them to expand their mission and be much more inclusive of families... good stuff.

Warner Robins continues to grow and will be adding 1 new MC this month and possibly another around March.  We are planning for 2012 and hope to see a real push to grow our core and work toward launching Sunday morning services in our own space.

Downtown (Macon) is going great as well.  We sent out about 50 people in August of last year to Warner Robins and have seen our downtown attendance continue to grow - even averaging MORE in attendance in 2011 than 2010 even though we sent 50 people to start a new congregation.
AND
we are in the planning stages for a second site in Macon.  Crazy, I know.  We are praying and working toward the possibility of a January 2013 launch.  We have tons of unanswered questions and a lot that needs to happen before we could do it.


To help people understand our next Macon plant (WHY, HOW, WHAT...) and encourage other churches to take steps toward planting, I started a new blog - New City Planting .  Check it out and help plant churches!
