Louie Giglio & Chris Tomlin church plant!?

-I got an e-mail this morning from one of my college roomies… He lives in Atl— and He’s been hearing in multiple circles that Louie G “Mr Passion” and Chris “Golden Child” Tomlin are planting a church in Midtown area of Atlanta—

-I have read up on Chris’ old church home in Austin… and it seems that he’s announced the decision there back in June….

-Saw some more insight on the plant here…. I know there are a bagillionzillion young/single professionals in the ATL area right now…. so the plant makes sense—

Anyone know of more conversation out there??? Or links i need to catch up on???

Thoughts?

  • I am planning on being there for the grand opening.. its going to be amazing.... Louis is one of the great speakers who actually have a message and allows himself to be used by God.

    I know from a student pastor point of view, we can use all the help we can get in metro Atlanta area. God most definitely has Atlanta on his Radar for revival and a outpouring.
  • here is your link to the new church

    haha..oops...didn't see lots of ppl had already commented before I wrote that...glad you're in the know! :)
  • marla
    yeah, they were talking about it publicly at the passion conference in ATL last spring. no details, but that they were gonna be about the local church for a while...after the whole world passion tour thing.

    The launch date is officially 1month away--- for all those looking for insight...

    -Will you join me in praying for the PCC fellas!?
  • I dont think they are trying to compete.... i think that ATL has MILLIONS OF PEOPLE NOT MEETING JESUS.... NP is 50min north of ATL... it isn't really in the city--- from what i've heard, PASSION campus will be between Buckhead and NP.... sooo many people to reach for Christ... Andy and his team are fine with it... i think the internet world could probably get over it as well---

    This make no sense. Doesn't Louie work with Noth Point Ministries, don't they have a church in Buckhead. Why are we always trying to compete.
  • tish
    Nathan at 3.02. I belonged to a Hillsong Church and it was so heavily into prosperity teaching that I left it. I pray they never go down that track.
  • Jill
    They will plant next year after the world tour is over and done. Louie, Chris, Matt...it'll be insane. Chris has moved to Atlanta, Louie has lived there for a while, Matt is on his way. Check out the Passion podcast called "the answer is yes" for all the scoop.
  • L.G. Spoke @ North Point this past Sunday and mentioned from platform his plant.... Waiting 4 podcast to render so I can listen myself!
  • LG discusses the "why" in this podcast: http://passionpodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post...
  • i've heard some of the same things as the posts above...

    i heard that louie visited hillsong for a conference and was amazed with how well they did church that it made him question why there were no other churches like it in the US. so then they started tossing the idea around...
    atlanta makes sense bc it's the home of passion and it is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. how does this look for andy stanley and the north point churches? i'm not sure, but i can guarantee that louie would not do it in the ATL without stanley on board with it and supporting it.
    and i did hear matt redman already bought a house here and the nockels are moving as well.

    i just had a lot more than this to comment, but i decided to write my own post :)

    hope all is well, brad...hope to see you soon!

    Does anyone know why they chose Atlanta? I definitely do not know all the details and statistics, but I know ATL has had a lot of outreach, growth, and opportunity in recent years.... should we be lighting fires in other places across the country too?....like NYC or Cali?
  • Got an update about Louie and Tomlin!
