God has done so many amazing things along the way for us. A brief recap of how we got where we are.
- February 2007...God begins to birth the dream of Discovery in the hearts of two couples.
- April 2007...I go to the session at Olivet and ask for their discernment of this calling and passion.
- Summer 2007...Begin looking for places to host Discovery when it launches a year later. Several places, including Kerasotes, are either flat out "no-s" or cost-prohibitive.
- September 2007...I announced to the congregation at Olivet that I would be resigning my ministry position effective the end of May.
- October 2007...The Board of Discovery Church organizes featuring some of the greatest Christian leaders in Evansville (and Chandler).
- November 2007...Discovery Church of Evansville, Inc. officially forms in the eyes of the state of Indiana and the Federal Government.
- January 2008...The Midwest Presbytery of the EPC begins financially supporting the church launch through a matching gift.
- February 2008...Kerasotes becomes a possibility again.
- March 2008...Kerasotes becomes a reality! God is so good.
- The team continues to grow to 20 launch team members.
- Website development begins.
- May 2008...God (and Billy Long) sell our house for nearly the asking price. A miracle in this market.
- God gets me a job on the westside. By the way, join Bob's Gym (three convenient locations: North, West & Newburgh).
- June 2008...The website goes live (mydiscoverychurch.org).
- Projector and sound system arrive.
- First preview service June 22nd!
God is so good. Stay tuned for more developments.

I'm eagerly awaiting the update on your service yesterday!
BTW, I'll second that Bob's Gym endorsement. I went to the Newburgh branch and loved it. :)
