In 2004 Dave Dummitt approached Jon Ferguson about launching a church in suburban Detroit. Dave was intrigued with not only launching a church, but in starting one with the intention of becoming a reproducing multi-site church. After exploring the opportunity, the NewThing team said, “yes”. Dave Dummitt spent five months doing a leadership residency at Community Christian Church, where he saw first hand how messages were created, how the arts were integrated, and how Campus Pastors work with Children’s and Student ministries. God showed up in some big ways, providing Dave’s team with free office space in a Fitness Center, and the ability to meet in the Scranton Middle School in Brighton, Michigan. God continued to pave the way as more potential staff for the launch fell into place and 24 people moved from out of state to help launch the church.

2|42 Community Church launched in the Spring of 2005. Dave Dummitt meets weekly via conference call with the teaching team of Community Christian Church. 2|42 now averages over 1000 in attendance over two Sunday morning services and has plans to go multi-site in the near future.
