Dave Kennard pastor at Riverside, Oakmont, PA with his crew.

Exciting stuff to what God is going to do here tonight. A whole team of pastors that have heart for there area and host a multi-site church of two locations. MAin focus of small groups, Up bringing grew up in methodist pastor home . went to missouri state and AGTS. Saw he was a fixer so he did not becoming a counselor and became a pastor. Leading from the second chair. This was form seeing his dad worked to death so he does the administration and comes alongside a visionary pastor to help with the big picture.Was a pastor at James river AG in Springfield, MO. On the staff four years. Brand newly marry and was the youth administrator a busy pace. What he love about JR experience he love the jazz of a thousand students come and get ready to see the teens come to the church. This methodology worked. Most frustating experience low pay and intense 60 hours a week making 18000 a year. They left because of money. Most important lesson learned saw scotty gibbons stay so loyal to the senior pastor. He has been there 17 years. Ended up at Oakmont from  a friend.  10 months in waiting for a position. At a altar event heard God says time is up. His wife is said the same thing. Monty Hip Said the same thing.Starting looking all over the nation. Hs low point was when he was asked to.Prayed God what is it what you want me to learn? He needed to pray for the person moving on else where.After three conformations he thought he would have been going to a place in three months. God had to do something in his heart. A one residency helps and looks good on a resume. Titles are just as good as pay. You cannot steer a sitting wheel barrow. Give your resume to everyone you know.Visit the church even before the interview. See what they are about. Ended up at Oakmont. His senior pastor is a visionary starts things and vision and dream to lead. get things going and he finishes them.His staff has a long term blessing of staying there. They all have strengths they use in spite of their weaknesses hangout with each other and go to their homes and play racket ball with each other. Lead form a position of strength do not share weakness in sermons. Lead from a leadership of weakness and people will go further with them then a strength show. Dark side of leadership book. He is a Type A out going guy. Control freak question the how verses wow. Need to get dreamers to more and hows at the right time. Do not procrastinate work by feeling right just get it done. Learn give people space to do their part. Be committed to excellence. Two things
Costume parade giving out candy.
Missional go to the them meet them where they are at vs attractive consumer aspect

Rent price at the mall $6000 a month. They have a video site.
 stream box sending video through internet to the mills.
Bumper video to video. Red flag he has to preach yellow he has stall green is a go.
Free market small group. Come into a stetting 8-12 people share together have snacks sing a song then for an hour studying the word of God.
Using small groups as an evangelism tool. People get together do what they are passionate about and do it together.
