In case you missed the announcement I made on Sunday, September 22nd, here’s the news. You can also watch the announcement video here. I’m excited to announce that Revolution Church is joining Pantano Christian Church and will become the next campus of Pantano as one church in multiple locations. In other words, Pantano is becoming multisite!
This journey has been born out of a ten-year relationship of trust between myself and Pastor Josh Reich. God has been at work to bring together two churches with a shared vision and values to have a greater kingdom impact. Having had a parallel purpose and a common mission, we believe that we will more effectively bring the love of Jesus to our city by multiplying healthy, life-giving churches and campuses. We believe Revolution and Pantano are better together.
This is such a natural and good union. Revolution’s vision has been to impact our city by planting a church within 10 minutes of anyone in the city. Two of Pantano’s key purposes is to reach people not connected to God or a church and also plant healthy life-giving churches. Over a year ago the leadership of Pantano decided to become a multisite church or one church in multiple locations. When Josh learned of this and after a season of prayer, he initiated the idea of Revolution joining Pantano. As Revolution joins Pantano, it is our hope that we can accomplish more, go further and faster and more effectively.
Revolution brings so much to this shared mission. Revolution is a mature, healthy church that has experience in doing portable/mobile church over the last eleven years. We don’t think of this as Revolution going away or being swallowed up by a big church. Revolution sees this as the next step toward greater impact and Pantano welcomes the leadership and richness Revolution brings to Pantano.
Here are a few more details. Also, check out our information page – click here.
- Revolution becomes Pantano Southeast (meeting at Empire High School – 8 miles and 15 minutes south of our current building – map) officially on Sunday 9/29. All campuses will have live in-person teaching and live worship along with groups, children’s and student’s ministry.
- All of the Revolution staff will become Pantano staff on September 29th, 2019. At the same time Revolution “legally” becomes Pantano and the sermon series and messages will align. Additional changes (branding, names, signs, website, technology updates, etc.) are being made and the transition will be complete and celebrated on January 5, 2020.
- Josh is the Campus Pastor of Pantano Southeast leading his same team.
- All campuses are overseen by one Pantano eldership and directed by the executive leadership currently at Pantano.
I’m asking and challenging anyone who can or will to consider checking out the new campus. Maybe you are ready to serve! Maybe this campus is closer and makes it easier to invite your neighbors. Maybe you like a smaller venue. Or maybe God is calling you to make a move without having to leave Pantano!
