METHODOLOGY
Greenhouse is a fresh new way of doing church. We believe it's a return to the way church life was experienced in the earliest days of Christianity. That is, we place a high priority on knowing God and developing real, caring relationships with one another. This is accomplished by simplifying church organization to the point that we focus on two major events each week:
Celebration Service: The time we spend together to praise and worship as a body. The focus of the Service is to celebrate Christ, hear God's Word and give testimony as to how the Holy Spirit has worked in our Church body and individual lives.
Cells, or Home Groups: The Church Body is divided into Cells that meet in homes. A Cell Pastor facilitates the meeting and the Bible is used to teach and equip the Saints for ministry. Cell groups are small in number and each person in the Cell is accountable to the others. No one is left out or forgotten. Cells meeting in the homes are very personable and allow people to relax, share experiences and be real with each other. The Cell meeting is usually followed with a time of fellowship and pot luck dinner. We water with the Holy Spirit and feed the Word of God growing mature Christians. Thus the name of Greenhouse. See our Statement of Faith below. Take a few moments to read it over. If you have any questions, feel free to call our church. We pray you find a church as led by the Holy Spirit.
Phillipians 2:4 - Let each of you look out not only for his own interest, but also for the interests of others.
ABOUT THE PASTORPastor Roy and his wife Laura of fifteen years have been serving the Lord for twelve years. They have seven children, six boys and a baby girl. Roy and Laura were youth pastors and Roy was the leader of the men's ministry at Faith Christian Center in Phoenix, Arizona. They were directors of the Youth Ministry at Lakeland Christian Center in Lakeland, Florida were Roy also served as Associate Pastor. Roy was educated in the computer industry with a degree in Computer Technology and owned his own computer repair company. He closed the company down to answer the call as a Pastor and began looking for a place in order to prepare for the ministry. Roy was looking for a new wineskin and methodology for the body. He found that ministry at Greenhouse Community Church, (Now Vineyard of Lakeland) in Lakeland, Florida. The methodology was that of the cell group and the fruit was apparent. He began his education as a cell group pastor at Greenhouse Community Church and completed his pastoral training. Roy served first as an associate cell pastor and then as a cell pastor.
Roy and Laura felt called by the Lord to move to Blanco, Texas to introduce the cell group methodology. They moved to Blanco in 1994 and began church meetings in their home. Greenhouse has met in rented property until recently. With its growth, Greenhouse has now purchased two city blocks in Blanco and is looking forward to building it's first meeting place. Greenhouse mets at the homes of members on Wednesday nights and holds it's celebration service at the Assembly of God in Blanco, Texas.
Pastor Roy also holds Sunday morning services at the Armadillo Farm near Luckenbach, Texas at 9:00 A.M. This is an outreach ministry held on the front porch of Jalapano Sam's home. This outreach touches the homeless and the rich. People from all over the U.S. have met on the front porch to hear the Word of God.
