Goals  1-24-16

Goals Worthy of Consideration and Prayers
In a recent sermon, I listed reasons for confidence and concern pertaining to the future of the church in Milan.
Reasons for confidence include:
  • An impressive number of infants, toddlers, children (and more on the way).
  • Committed parents that consistently bring their children to Bible classes and services.
  • Committed young men that may one day serve as elders, deacons and preachers.
  • Your amazing generosity and involvement in a plethora of good works.
  • God’s desire that the church in Milan increase for His glory.
 
Reasons for concern include:
  • Lack of elders (and deacons).
  • Shortage of teachers (along with the lack of an Educational Director).
  • Shortage of men that are capable of leading in our services.
  • Lack of outreach (by consistently meeting a need in our community).
  • Lack of plans for expansion.
  • Lack of regular activities for our children and teens.
 

I then proposed several goals that will address some of the aforementioned concerns:
  • By Dec. 31, 2016 we locate and purchase property of sufficient size to erect a building
accommodating between 200 & 250 people.
  • By July 1, 2018 we employ a full-time youth, educational & outreach minister.
  • By May 1, 2020 we break ground on our new church building.
  • By Nov. 1, 2021 we conduct our first service in our new facility.
  • By Dec. 31, 2022 we appoint 3 elders & several deacons.
 
Next week: What it will require to achieve these goals.
Jesus, always Jesus!
