We reviewed a video from RSI. The team hopes to make a decision on this matter in a couple of weeks. REVIEW NUMBERS: Terry reviewed our current financial stat s and looked at attendance and tithing over the last couple of years, compared to the first of 2007. Our average attendance has grown steadily over the last year and ½, especially with Sunday School, which has grown 50-60%. The average tithe per week has also grown to an average of over $8,000.00 per week! However, the growth rate in $ s tithed has not matched the extreme growth rate in attendance. The growth rate in the 11 a.m. service has also been good, going from an average of 71 in 2006 to 96 in 2007. By looking at an 80% seating capacity rule, we reached 117% capacity on Easter Sunday!!! Projections based on these stat s show us that we will reach a weekly 85% seating capacity (based on 360 seats) in 2008.& .At that time, attendance could stagnate and fall off& .There is no doubt that something needs to be done, and the S.O.S. team is working on the best solution!! ARE WE A HEALTHY CHURCH? Some of the questions Terry raised& & Sense of community? Are there personal connections with the community? Is there excitement in the Church? Focus? Growth? Are we  Missional ?& Do we raise issues that are current? Is there trust in leadership? Finances? Effective Management? Do we focus inward or outward? Are we meeting the needs of the congregation? Do we have an impact locally? Do we communicate change? Embrace change? Do we possess innovation and creativity?

Meeting& & & & & & .Thursday, April 26, 2007.& & & & & & & & ..6:30 P.M. Terry opened with prayer. A review of the agenda for the meeting followed& 1) Updates and announcements 2) Review numbers 3) Are we a Healthy Church? 4) Questionnaire results 5) What s Next? UPDATES: Terry announced that Mike and Lori Hembree would be joining S.O.S. as our prayer team. Also, we will begin posting minutes of our meetings on Southland s website. Dan Gray addressed the group regarding the Zoning issues we are facing. We are currently zoned Single Family Residential and would like to have that changed to General Retail. The process is rather long, and could take 6-8 months, but Dan is working on that. Another Architectural firm was interviewed (Sapp Design), and we are now waiting on bids from them and the other firms (Pellham-Phillips and Butler, Rosenbury & Partners). We re hoping to have those bids in fairly quickly to move this process along. Fundraising was addressed. Pledge envelopes have been ordered, and a Building Account has been established specifically for this project. Terry encouraged all of us to  Lead by example & .Mark reminded all of us to  Pray - That our building efforts be for the Advancement of the Kingdom of God. We currently have 2 options in regards to fundraising - GAGE and RSI. Both offer good advice on fundraising methods, scheduling, reaching goals, etc. The difference lie in the  how & .GAGE is a total  Do It Yourself package, offering all the tools to help us, along with the S.O.S. team, volunteers and possibly hiring an Administrative Assistant to deal with scheduling& .RSI would do the same, but provide an RSI employee to help manage the process& .GAGE is a  package that we already have and would require more  time than  TIONNAIRE RESULTS. The answers to many of the questions, and various comments on all the surveys helped us to answer some of the above questions. 76% of those surveyed came to SCC and have stayed, because of the people here and the sense of  family & 64% feel they have been able to develop their  spiritual gifts at SCC. Of those surveyed, 94% agreed that we need more classrooms, 80% would like to see a Youth center, 76% a new (and bigger) Sanctuary, 74% a bigger and more welcoming Foyer, 63% a new (and bigger) Kitchen, and so on& .. WHAT S NEXT? What followed next was a general discussion regarding our next move& Cost estimates are looking to range from $1.5 million for the minimum (meaning classrooms/restrooms only), to $3.5 to $4 million for everything. We need more funding than what estimates are indicating we can achieve. This project will be lead by faith& Mark is hoping to conduct a congregational meeting soon, to discuss options. We need to develop a reasonable time-line, make decisions regarding architects, fund-raising, etc.. We were given a Leadership Challenge - The team members need to lead by example and make financial commitments, and work on growing the church. We will challenge the congregation to do the same. Our goal is to be more  missional and bolder in inviting more to SCC. IMAGINE - Being challenged Gifting Local impact by SCC Having more classrooms Lives that could be impacted Lead by the HOLY SPIRIT Our meeting closed with prayer by Lori Hembree. RCH?
