I have been posting about our church plant for several months now, and we continue to grow and move forward with our plans of launching our "official" Sunday morning services in September.
In the meantime, I am pleased to announce that we will be beginning our first public services on Sunday, April 19th. This simple evening service will begin at 5pm, and it will be held at the Georgetown Public Library, at 402 W 8th St, Georgetown, TX 78626. This is just one block west of the square!
After searching extensively for the right larger venue to accommodate us until September, we settled on the library for a number of reasons - cleanliness, size of rooms, cost, etc. There were some small hurdles to overcome, but we are really looki forward to getting started there.
We have also assembled some terrific musicians for our worship team, and I am excited to see how they will sound! I say "we" as if I were somehow involved in the process, but I am nonetheless thrilled that we have some talent available.
Our services should last about an hour (perhaps 75 minutes), and child care will be provided for kids up to age 5. When we start our Sunday morning services in the fall, we are hoping to integrate a "kids' church" program for older kids during the sermon time.
Come join us anytime if you are interested!
For March 29th and April 5th, we will still be meeting at the RunTex location just south of the town square on Main Street, from 5-7pm. From April 19th until September, it will be from 5-6ish at the library. If you have any questions at all, feel free to let me know, or you can contact:

Hi, Jason - I wish we were just a liiittle biiit closer... :)
Jason,
I just wandered by your blog and stopped to read it.
My husband & I just joined Wayside Presbyterian Church in Erie, PA this morning. A very welcoming community. I hope all goes well with yours at Christ Pres. Church.
Hi Jason: Being a founding family at a new church must be very exciting! Good luck with the first service, I hope it runs smoothly!
Have a great day,
Anne Rains
Congrats and good luck dude...that's a lot of fun and a lot to look forward to. Blessings to you and your new project. Reach the masses J-bird.
Our church isn't going through the exact same growth changes as yours, but we have been through some of the usual church changes. (I should know. I'm a preachers' kid. Ugh.) But the cool part is, there's an oceanfront hotel in town that is owned and operated by Christians. Since we're operating on a small budget, we're renting the 5th floor "Martinique" suites. It's a bit distracting to see the ocean during church, but it's also kind of awesome. Nature always has that effect on me. It's God's creation and it's such a peaceful setting. I just wish we could stay there forever =)
Good luck Jason. I know how hard you all are working to get this going and it looks like you are well on your way.
Jason- I know this has been a project you have been working on and I am excited to see that it is coming to fruition. You are going to have one awesome congregation, I can just feel it:) God bless you.
