Outlook Christian Church - One Year Later
Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 02:35PM 
Outlook Christian Church (formerly Oaklandon Christian Church) recently celebrated their one-year anniversary in their new building, designed and built by Aspen Group. We met with Senior Pastor Rob McCord to get an update on what has happened since they moved into their multipurpose space in February, 2009.
The church took a risk leaving the street they had been on for over 140 years with building a new facility on a green site. “But it was 100% the right move,” Rob shared. “And that has been confirmed again and again.”
Attendance started increasing immediately when they moved into the new facility, increasing over 60% in the last year. Many of the new attendees have said they “watched the building go up” and wanted to come check it out. “We are thrilled to see unchurched folks coming, finding our church to be comfortable and inviting but passionate about following Jesus,” Rob said. It is about transforming lives which was just celebrated through cardboard testimonies during their Easter services.
The growth has created energy and a “revival” spirit in the church. Outlook has had over 65 baptisms in the last year, and the bi-monthly membership class has more than doubled in size.
The space is bustling with activity seven days a week, and there is a lot of coordination with set up and tear down. But the building has created a culture of flexibility, which is part of Outlook’s DNA. “Phase 1 is perfectly suited for what we need, and we are squeezing a lot of ministry out of it,” Pastor Rob said.
