- Vist New Vintage Church again
- Speak with the Pastor, Andy VomSteeg
- Meet some North Point Strategic Partner guys, Tom and Russ
- Visit some old college/Won by One friends
- Get out of Fresno for a weekend
- Look at housing possibilities
NVC is a place with Momentum:
- Starting Jan. 11, 2009, NVC's Sunday morning services will be combined into one service and be moved into the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts
- NVC is aligning with the North Point Community Church ministry model
- Hillside Church of Marin's senior Pastor is retiring in the Spring and is thinking about merging his church with NVC to become a multi-site, video-venue campus
- Over the past year, a ton of people have been baptized at NVC, well over 100 (I can't remember the specific amount)
- I would work under a pastor that God has used to take a dying church, shut it down and reboot it to see 1000-1200 people a weekend
- I would also work with John Alan Turner of River Park Community Church, a North Point Strategic Partner, when we was in town
- I need to develop as a leader because I believe God has huge things in store for my family
- NVC has had the same staff for a long time, but the church has grown exponentially
- Sonoma County is something like 98% un-churched!
- Andy is the ONLY full-time staff member
- They are about to move from an established building to a mobile-church
- The woman running Children's Ministry is Andy's mom, she needs to strategically retire because that is a tiring job (it just so happens that I'm married to a CM genius)
- We'll be far away from both of our families
- We'll be far away from our best friends (Paul and Jenn)
- We'll be in the poorhouse, for awhile

hmm.. Very interesting! I can see many possibilities for both of you there! We'd be sad to lose you but we know you need to follow where God needs you! It's a good sign too that the same staff have been at that church for years!
Keep us updated. Blessings!

Thanks for the post. I have been dying to know what went on over the weekend. It sound very promising and Rick and I will continue to pray. You are a gifted young man and yes, you are married to a CM genius!
Thanks for the post. I was dying to know about your trip. Things sound very promising. You are a gifted young man and yes, you are married to a CM genius! Rick and I will continue to pray. You two would have a lot to offer a new mobile church.
hey Micah just read your blog, It sounds very exciting!! I too think that you have great things in store for your future. I have told a lot of the kids and my family to watch and see were you go in the next 5 years. I think God will Do some amazing things through your ministry. I'm sure its been frustrating for you at times, but God has a plan.
Blessings to you
