We are going off TV!
 

It was a very difficult decision. Is it conviction from reading AFF TV threads?????

Sorry, but no. We have been on TV for three years now and the results have been amazing and have definitely brought many people to our church, resulting in several salvations and changed lives.

BUT (and that's a very big but)....on the second Sunday of October, we are launching our first Sunday services in Savannah, where we have only had Thursday night Bible studies. It will be a video venue, with a live band and a campus pastor, but Eddie will preach via big screen. It will not be a live feed, but a week delay. Since that area is reached by our TV show, we didn't feel it would be advantageous to ask people to come to an 11 AM service with video preaching when they can sit at home and see it at 10:30 in their underwear. So, we are cancelling it for now.

Also, it will save the ministry about a thousand dollars per week, which will come in handy in other areas for now. Has TV been successful for us? Absolutetly!!! But it's not the answer for everything. God will continue to bless and hopefully all those people that we've met in Jackson who tell us they watch Eddie every week will now feel the need to venture out and visit the church in person!

She is movin our way folks!!

Don't hold your breath.:hypercoffee

sherri and eddie, that is nothing but wisdom, so many people do things without thinking it thru, and when it is right you will be on again, you are blessed of god, praying for you, dt:hypercoffee

Since television is the medium God has chosen to save the world by close the church and stay on television.:hypercoffee

I'm not really sure what a "campus pastor" is. I have never heard or read that term before. But if he's the pastor, shouldn't he be doing the preaching?

A glorified usher??????????????????????????????:driving

Ha! Sounds about right. Might be one of those "if I hire em I can fire em"

Is this to imply that there are pastors who are not responsible to the church they pastor?

BTW If you are new, Welcome! If not then :nah :)

Don't really understand Stephen. I've been responsible to the church I pastor for almost 22 years. Started 3 other churches besides my own. I never put a "campus pastor" in so I really don't understand. I'm not real up to date on the computer lingo so I don't understand the BTW. Sorry!
