Where do we go from here? Church Plant Reset Meeting October 20, 2013
Goal … Creatively Broaden our Circle of influence (focus: Omaha)
Recap from Aug 18 … • We must acknowledge where we are • Continue to love and value one another over our own opinions, ideas and plans • Feedback from congregation • Some common questions/concerns • Church plant options are being considered by the elders … still committed to establishing another church in the Omaha area
A way forward … Option 1: Wait • for how long? • for what purpose?
A way forward … Option 2: Begin looking for a new church planter • Form a search committee (involve church plant team?) • Set a new target date for launch (depending on length of time we desire church planter to be on staff before launching the church plant)
A way forward … Option 3: Use multi-site model • Message viewed on screen at second location with everything else live • Hire a campus pastor not a church planter (not looking for a teacher but a shepherd)
A way forward … Reestablish a Core Group … • Are now or willing to become members of CBC • Elder approved • Help write the story … work with the elders in shaping the direction of the ministry (i.e. how teaching ministry is accomplished) • Begin meeting immediately • Recruit others • Develop focused areas of ministry
A way forward … … But each has a role • Core group – leadership • Congregants – willing to join the church planting effort • Helpers – not part of the church plant but willing to be involved to support the work • All – everyone in the CBC family giving and praying as the Lord leads
