So I feel like I have fallen out of the gravitational pull of the blog-o-verse, but alas I am now approaching re-orbit. Just got back from a trip to San Diego (North County actually), which was a part of my Seminary training--I know, suffering for the Lord! I spent a good deal of my time (between sessions of course) at the beach, thus the burn. When in Rome......
Part of the trip was visiting a great and creative church, North Coast Church, in Vista, CA. NCC is a church of about 7,000 which sounds a bit pretentious, until you visit them. You can read more about them here. They have pioneered a model of ministry that is quite creative and apparently in their context quite effective. They are one church with many locations, many styles, many mindsets, that are linked together each weekend by a shared teaching experience via video. Their senior pastor Larry Osborne is a great leader, and a very creative thinker. We had the chance to spend the day at his house on Friday.
Anyhow, here are some pictures of the trip for those who are interested.

Ever since I visited SaddleBack, who also does the "Video Venue" thing (although the main draw is definitely the main service), I've wondered how something like that would work in Seattle. What do you think? Would it fly?
