One of the things I like most about traveling is the opportunity to visit other churches, learning something from every visit. This past Sunday, while in Colorado, I had an opportunity to visit Rocky Mountain Christian Church's new Frederick campus. Man! What a nice place!
I don't know if you've heard, but Rocky Mountain has been in a dispute with Boulder County (the location of their Niwot campus) over their desire to build on their Niwot site. Read more about it here.
The long and short of it is that their application for a "special use permit" that would allow them to add to their existing campus was denied. It's interesting what God did with the situation, though. Although they are still in litigation with the County of Boulder, they found land in neighboring Weld County and built a beautiful new facility. They've got around 15 acres and a 70,000 square foot facility. Nice!
This past Sunday was their 2nd weekend in the new digs. I was there. I enjoyed the new facility and reconnecting with Rick Thielen their Operations Executive Pastor. Their opening weekend saw more than 1,400 people from the surrounding community.
I think it's amazing to see God work despite our disputes, disagreements, and court battles.
