General Info:
A Purpose Driven Church Insoul is a 7 year old church with a purpose to reach people who usually do not attend church. From it's very inception, Insoul has broken the mold of traditional church and pioneering a new way to reach its community. Insoul is a trendsetter church that speaks the truth to a modern culture in ways that are simply understood. Insoul is a Purpose Driven Church because we exist to fulfill the The Great Commission, (Matt. 28: 19-20 ) and The Great Commandment, (Matt. 22: 37-38 ). From these two passages of scripture comes the five purposes for why our church exist: Worship, Fellowship, Maturity, Ministry, and Missions. Everything we do is based on these purposes. Insoul began in Vedia Johnson's Hair Salon with about 50 people in November 2002. The church went public in April 2003 at Westover Senior High School in Fayetteville, N.C. The first public service had an attendance of 300 people and attendance never went below 200 afterwards. In August 2003 Insoul renovated the Cinema 5 Theater and began conducting Sunday Celebrations. The building had been closed for 8 years prior and the ministry grew rapidly and soon expanded to 2 services. After 3 years, Insoul was conducting 3 services every Sunday, with an attendance of 600 people. After 5 years, Insoul purchased property to begin construction of Phase 1 of their new church facility. Phase 1 consists of a 700 seat sanctuary, cafe, bookstore, and children's center. Insoul is currently meeting at Westover High School, interestingly, the same place where the first public service was launched. The new facility is scheduled to be complete by June 2010. By September 2010, Insoul will have broken through the 800 Barrier in Sunday Morning attendance. The Insoul strategy is to attract a crowd, turn the crowd into a congregation, move the congregation to spiritual maturity, help them to identify their spiritual gifts, release them into ministry and teach them to invite their friends to church and tell others about what the Lord has done for them.
