How Photography Helped Plant a Church

So let me tell you how a professional photographer is going to take gorgeous pictures of you and your family, and how 100% of the proceeds are going to help our beautiful little church plant (Genesis Covenant Church) get on its feet.The early stages of planting a church are actually quite simple: you merely set up eleventy billion coffees with people, where you pour out your soul, your vision, and your passion, and then you ask people if they want to join you in your risky adventure, either with their presence or their finances.It’s exciting. Seeing people come alive and catch what this new beginning is all about makes me giddy. But it’s also vulnerable and tiring and it can feel like I'm out there pounding the pavement alone.That’s why the unsolicited gifts that have come along the way have been so beautiful. Betsy Wall is a friend who also happens to be a stunning professional photographer (all of the photos on this post are hers). She has offered an evening of mini-sessions as a way for Genesis to raise funds to cover some of our start up costs. What? Who does that? One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to Genesis. Boom.Here’s how it works: Check out the details below, then email Betsy to set up a 15 minute session at one of the times & location listed below.WHEN & WHERE
