Dear Friends of New Destiny

Dear friends of New Destiny:

It is with great expectation that I announce to you the launch of New Destiny – a new church in Denver, NC. The anticipated launch date is September 2009.

Lincoln County has a population of 71,894 (2006 estimate). The west Lake Norman area of Lincoln County- East Lincoln County- has a population of 33,000 with Denver having at least 10,000. An estimate of 29,085 people in Lincoln County are unclaimed for the gospel. Only 19,497 are evangelical Christian adherents. Many in the west Lake Norman area commute to Charlotte, Gastonia or Hickory. This area has shown tremendous growth and is expected to continue to grow. Recently I-485 has opened to route 16 and construction on 16 is expected to continue from Charlotte to I- 40. This will allow easier and quicker access to Charlotte from Lincoln County.
This is an American Mission Field
Melissa and I were married in September 2006. We made our home in Huntersville where Melissa had been living. We have spent much time in prayer, seeking Godly counsel and research in pursuing ministry opportunities. We have looked at moving and have looked at area churches for ministry opportunities. But we kept seeing in our area of Lake Norman/ Northwest Charlotte Metro that there was a lacking of Evangelical, Pentecostal Churches – especially Assemblies of God. We realized the call of God is right where we are. We realized that the need is in our community and God is raising us up to the challenge of planting a church. After approaching the NC District, we were advised the greatest need is Denver, NC. Our target area is the intersection of routes 73 and16. We live 7 miles / 11 minutes from this side of Denver, NC.
A Different Kind of Church
I believe we need a different kind of church. We want to create a church that will be very specific in its focus and target. We hope to be a church that will place its emphasis on communicating God’s unchanging truths to a changing culture. We desire to allow God to build His church and we will work for Him.

Why are there so many different churches? Because there are so many different types of people. One type or style of church will not reach everyone. It is our hope to build a church like no other so that another group of people can be reached with the awesome love of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your prayers and consideration in partnering with New Destiny!

Sincerely,

Michael A. Teeter
