This episode of The Story of Real Life reveals a fundamental shift in the leaders' philosophy. Rather than continuing the effort to expand their present location to accommodate all the people who were coming, they decide to start placing churches and campuses in the areas that the people were actually coming from.
The shift in strategy made a significant change in Real Life's approach to reaching people, and the momentum continued to grow until they had 7 church plants across the Northwest and Texas, and 4 different campuses in their surrounding county.
This change not only opened up room for a few thousand more people in their main location, it gave each campus an opportunity to be more community specific with their serving, reaching out to nearby schools and businesses to offer support and care . It also opened up many more places for volunteers to serve and the need for more leaders.
From it's humble beginnings - this small backyard church with 4 couples has grown to a combined weekly community attendance of over 8,000, with many more thousand in attendance across the church plants. And as we said at the beginning - God remains the hero of this story. The miracle lies in how He has worked through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.
