Some churches in San Antonio have been rapidly expanding, and they have each found different ways to cope with their growing congregations and expanding ministries. Greg Styles, executive director of Concordia Lutheran, says their congregation doubled in the past seven years, and they already had six services Saturday through Monday. Consequently, the church decided to build a larger sanctuary that included the 123-foot cross facing Highway 1604.
