I recently had the opportunity to connect with Robert Emmitt, the Senior Pastor at Community Bible Church in San Antonio. Robert was in our offices with a team from his church that are a part of our Churches With Recovery Ministries Leadership Community. Community Bible Church is also a multi-site church and in a big way. They launched their first campus only about 18 months ago and are now in at least 8 locations. In addition to the tremendous growth, Community's story includes the development of partnerships with YMCA's as locations. Their New Braunfels campus was the first and plans are underway for a similar partnership with the YMCA in Boerne, Texas.
One of the first churches Iam aware of that partnered with the YMCA was Stillwater UMC, Dayton, OH. That partnership has continued to expand and now involves the YMCA's use of the church's building for an after school mentoring program and a shared staff person.
What other unique partnerships are you a part of?
