The truth is that there is not enough space in the world to write down all I learned at LifeChurch.tv Albany. The experience was overwhelming and my wife and I returned to Brooklyn charged and energized. We're looking forward to returning this summer with some members of the launch team to learn even more! BUILD THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE UN-CHURCHED At LifeChurch Albany, everything they do regarding the worship experience revolves around reaching the un-churched person. This means very intentionally creating an atmosphere where that person can feel comfortable, accepted and loved. This permits removal of distractions and allows room for people to respond to the gospel. EXCELLENCE Excellence is key. Why? Because from the songs sung, to the message preached, everything is done to our God and he deserves the very best of our ability. God will honor excellence. KIDS, KIDS, KIDS The environment they create for children is so exciting that kids beg their parents to return the following week. But it's not just a baby-sitting service. Kids have their own worship, Bible study and small group time. We want to implement this excellence in kids ministry at Swerve Church as well. SWERVE KIDS In fact, perhaps this is an area of ministry you feel passionate about. Maybe you'd like to get involved and help us build an exciting environment for children to attend. It all starts with joining the Launch Team. Sign-up, we'd love to get to know you have you as a part of the team that is leading people to become fully devoted followers of Christ! Swerve Church is a new Church Plant coming to the Bushwick / Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus. We're committed to the capital "C" church because we know we can do infinitely more together than apart. We will do anything short of sin to reach people far from God because to reach people that no one is reaching, we need to do things that no one is doing. We are a part of NetworkChurches.tv. We hope to launch in April of 2014.

Swerve Church is a new church plant coming to Brooklyn. We have plans on opening up by Spring 2013. WHAT IS SWERVE? The definition of "swerve" is: an abrupt change in direction.

Well...statistically, that is not true. It may seem as if there is a church on every block but statistically, Brooklyn is still largely unreached. New churches replenish and revive a community, and can even create a spark in older, more established churches to return to more outreach and evangelism. WHY BROOKLYN? Brooklyn is the most populated borough in NYC with over 2.5 million people calling it home. It has also become a cultural hub of sorts with a great increase of artists, musicians and young professionals moving in. Add that to sprouting coffee shops, bars and restaurants, Brooklyn is quite the happening place to be. Besides the cultural popularity that Brooklyn has gained as of late, there is also a great spiritual need to be met in Brooklyn. People have grown colder to the things of God.
