The Oldhams: August Gate turns 1

A Call to Church Plant

It is our desire that this be a place where you can come to see what God is doing in our lives on a daily basis. In August of 06 God began to open our eyes to the great need for the Gospel in our nation. As we sought the Lord and His will for our lives it became clear that He was calling us to join and play a major part in a movement that seeks to plant young, missional, Gospel-centered Churches that will seek the transformation of a city and eventually a culture. At this moment, it is a vision. It is a dream in our hearts and, we fully believe, a dream in the heart of God.

August Gate turns 1

This past Sunday was the 1st Anniversary of August Gate Church. I can not even believe it has been a year. Even harder to believe is that I was 36 weeks pregnant this time last year. This past year has been an amazing ride and we have been able to share it with some amazing people. Thank you to all of our August Gations for your love and commitment to seeing the Gospel go forth in Soulard and St Louis. This year we have had the privilege of meeting some amazing people, forming awesome friendships, joining in deep community and learning to love our city. May God continue to receive glory and continue to work through August Gate for many years. I am excited for what this next year brings :) Since I have such an adorable baby girl most of my pics from the night are of her :)

Allie very proud of herself because she got this water bottle out of Celeste's diaper bag. Digging in Celeste's diaper bag is one of her favorite things to do. You never know what you are going to find ;)
