Everyone is congratulating Kansas today. That’s great. They put a round ball through a metal hoop a bunch of times last night. But have you seen what the volunteers at Access Church have been doing?? Truly amazing stuff! Part of our staff meeting each Monday involves sharing “win” stories—How we are seeing God at work…

What are Adam and Rich doing in the studio right now with this guy? Come Sunday and find out! Don’t be a minute late!

My neighbor Randy always has a great story to tell, and he knows it. He doesn’t hesitate to tell you what happened last weekend or last decade… because it’s good stuff! The other day we saw each other at the gas station, and he’d just come back from hunting wild boar. He told us about…

This evening our staff will gather at our house to view “The Passion of the Christ” and have communion together. Today is an incredible day for the Church to remember. Today is the day those who loved and followed Jesus saw heaven weep. It seemed all hope was lost. But Sunday was coming! Below is…

We’ve all been waiting a long time for this week. The first Easter celebration for Access Church! What’s it going to be like? Let’s just say we’re pretty pumped that Jesus is Alive and we bet that after Sunday’s services, you will be, too! Some have asked me, “Do you have big plans for Easter?”…

Being portable has a lot of advantages. It’s cost-efficient, for one. UNF is a great landlord, and I love the fact that I can be on the other side of town and say, “We meet at UNF” and everyone knows exactly where that is. But there are some logistical headaches, too. Like where to store…
