Tommy Sparger
Tommy is one of my closest friends. We met over six years ago at a church planters’ boot camp and immediately hit it off. We talk at least once a week on the phone. He has been a huge encouragement and friend to me. North Point Church in Springfield, Missouri, is flat out getting it done. North Point Church was mothered by another church in Springfield, MO. I think this is the best way to start a church. You have immediate finances and people, but you have to be a good leader to be able to manage and lead it on day one. North Point began on September 7, 2003, with over 800 in attendance. THAT'S THE WAY TO START A NEW CHURCH! They bought land off a major interstate six months after launching and began building their first building. They moved into their first facility when they were only 1 1/2 years old. They began building their second phase, which included a 1000 seat auditorium, when they were three years old and moved into that facility when they were four years old. North Point Church currently runs 2300 in three Sunday services. They are reaching tons of un-churched and de-churched people.
Tommy is a very creative and innovative leader. You need to put Tommy Sparger on your radar screen.
