One of the reasons I agreed to speak in Dallas at the Dynamic Church Conference was so I could catch up with my friends who live there. I love Dallas and so I planned to get a lot out of my trip. I ran out of time to see everyone I had hoped to see but I did not miss church.
I was a bit torn as to where to attend services because I have friends at Irving Bible Church, Fellowship Church, Watermark Community, Stonebriar Community, Bent Tree and a couple of others. My friends who serve at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship won out and I ended up there on Sunday morning.
After my hosts finished their service roles, we got to enjoy the worship & teaching in the main service. Following the service, another friend known to many of you, Technical Arts Director Greg Atkinson, (Church Video Ideas) led me up onto the platform for the pastoral team debrief following the service.
I found myself with the key service leaders and Pete Briscoe, the Senior Pastor at Bent Tree. And yes, son of Stuart & Jill Briscoe. They reviewed what worked and what needed tweaking for the next service since there are often improvements needed. I loved seeing how careful they were about providing the best experience possible for those in attendance - even if it meant they had to alter their original service plan.
This fall, Bent Tree will move into their new expansion facilities and it will all be paid for - all $30 million dollars of it! Serious vision requires some serious tech support and since I got such an extensive tour of the facilities from Greg, I thought it wouldn't be right not to let you peek into some of the behind the scenes set-up at Bent Tree.
