This morning my daughter and I attended Seacoast Church Savannah Campus. It was my first experience at a multi-site church but also a video venue. I want to share about what I saw.
First off they it started in the parking lot, not a parking lot team just really friendly people engaging people in the parking lot. Lots of signage showing you where to go which is nice for a first time guest. Come in and there was a door greeter (really friendly), nicely done bulletin, you walk up the stairs and there is resource table with books for sale (I love resources and books, big plus for me) and free good coffee which you can take into the service with you (big plus).
I took my daughter back to the Children’s Ministry area. The nice lady I met in the parking lot walked me back and introduced me to the ladies who worked with children in a partitioned off area of the hall way. Nice decorations, toys to play with, a video on that grabs the children’s attention while you drop them off. The only thing being a guest and a little worried about my daughter I wish they would had some kind of check in system or call system.
I enjoyed worship. I felt we were being led in worship which is what I know they are reaching for. The Campus Pastor, Doug, was friendly and warm with every person that came through the door and funny on the stage. Gerg Surratt the Senior Minister is great communicator and uses a great mix of engaging conversation, humor and story telling to communicate the gospel message, this weeks message was about community. It is very evident why they are a growing church and are using a method like multi-site video venue to reach people for God which is what it is all about.
