Some of the questions that I received yesterday revolved around, "What is the name of the church?" Good question, time to clarify . . . .
We decided to keep the name, Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, of which there is great name recognition and community involvment. This became very clear to me as I had visited many different regional and multi-site campus across Kansas City. I had attended Colonial Presbyterian's Quivera Campus way down south KC. While there, I realized that although Colonial Pres. does not have a huge awareness north of the river (their own admission), PV was well known that far south of the river. Therefore, Platte City would have just as much knowledge of PV. While encouraging as this might be, it was also daunting, keeping up with such a great and wonderful reputation for being a part of the community.
The next question involved campus naming. As with other multi-sites who utilize a "_____ Campus" strategy, we wrestled with different names for the campus. The one that stuck the most was 'KCI' due to location AND prominence with the community. Even the news names the airport 'KCI' (when the actually airport designation is MCI). Therefore, the name of the location is:
Pleasant Valley Baptist Church - KCI Campus
Congratulation Stephen. Wish Lin, Cody and I were there to celebrate with you and all the PVBC folks. We miss you all and know that PVBC-KCI Campus will be a great tribute to the Lord.
