On Wednesday evening, May 31, Kent presented his findings to the congregation. There are a lot of positive, exciting, and meaningful ministries provided at First Christian Church that are making a difference in peoples lives. Spiritual health, like physical health, is not a permanent condition that can be maintained by doing nothing. Every church can become more effective in making disciples, and ours is certainly no exception. Church growth doesn t just happen.
Healthy churches aren t around by accident.
Somebody has to choose a course of action that cooperates with God s purposes. A conscious decision must be made to fulfill Jesus Great Commission in a specific place, at a specific time, with specific resources. If our church is to continue to grow in the future as it has in recent years, we will have to make wise and deliberate choices right now . Vision must be cast today for tomorrow s ministry. Pray for me, our staff, our elders, and our ministry leaders as we seek to respond with wisdom and faith to the future .
