Axis Church launches in Ohio
October 28, 2009

After just five months of preparation in Mason Ohio, Axis Church launched on Sunday, October 25 with 220 people in attendance. The church has already started nine small groups in the area! Church Planter Stephen Sams shared his thoughts on the church’s first worship service:

Thanks to our outstanding launch team, we started with every ministry staffed with a leader and an assistant leader, as well as other volunteers. The first message was on the principle of belonging; that church isn’t about attending, it is about belonging. With relationships being our emphasis, I am thrilled that we have already started nine small groups throughout our area. Each of the groups is starting with a leader and an assistant leader and are ready to receive new people right now.
 
We are starting as a high commitment church from day one. We are having our first partnership class in 3 weeks and will do it monthly. We are having our first commitment/baptism weekend in just a few weeks as well. When we advertised, we didn’t advertise coffee and music, we advertised belonging, authenticity, choices and loving the community.  As I shared Sunday, “We are not here to take, we are here to give back, to express love to community.”
