I was a local celebrity pastor for one Saturday when I made the following article in our local newspaper about pastors who use Twitter in their ministries. Story by Kelly Jasper.

New Passion Church: Foundations Part 3
There are a lot of churches who have “Core Values” to describe the essentials of what they value as a church. One of the core values for The Church @ the Springs as an example is “Growing Larger and Smaller at the Same Time: We Value Small Groups.” At New Passion, we call our Core Values, our HEART. This is what we are passionate about. These are the things that we hope to drive us forward as people and as a church. If we do not live by these values as individuals, it will not work in a corporate worship environment. Below is New Passion’s HEART in detail…
New Passion Block Party
We (New Passion Church) hosted a Free Block Party for Grovetown on Saturday. This was our very first event to get to know our neighbors, so needless to say, we were clueless as to what we should expect. We received a positive response from the community as we were promoting the Block Party, but sometimes people are just friendly and that does not mean they are going to show up 🙂
We had over 300 people attend Saturday’s event. Seeing all of the faces from the community at this event made New Passion Church feel the most real that it ever has. The sobering fact is, 95% of the people I personally spoke to, said they were not plugged in with a church or were looking for a church. That’s just more confirmation that we are in the right place and that New Passion is definitely needed in Grovetown. Below are some thumbnails from the event, they represent some of the faces of the community, the fun kids were having, and the awesome volunteers that pulled this event off! The NPC Volunteers amazed me Saturday. Great job everyone!
