Vital Signs

Although the final chapter for Lakepointe and our story is still far away from being written I wanted to focus on some of the big wins we have had in the past year.  Our first service for Lakepointe on October 18, 2009 we had 84 in attendance.  We had no idea what to expect since the only thing we had done was pass out some invite cards and do some other grass roots work which I will share later.  84 surprised us and we began to prepare for our next monthly service.  We had determined that we would do 6 monthly services before we launched on March 21, 2010.  For our second monthly service we had 94 in attendance.  We celebrated once again and praised God for the results that we had seen so far.

During the monthly services Scott spoke on the vision and values of Lakepointe with a series called Unstoppable.  We wanted those who attended Lakepointe for the preview services to get a taste of what Lakepointe would look like in the future.  Our desire was for them to catch the vision and heart that we had for Macomb County Michigan.  During this time we did a monthly outreach in the community and we spent $0 on advertisement or promotion other than invite cards.  Each week we encouraged those who attended to invite their friends and family to come back.  At the end of 6 months we had averaged 77 during our preview services with a high of 94 and a low of 67.  We were pumped and excited about what the future held for Lakepointe.
