Pastors Report
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to
be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to
be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare Gods
people for works of service, so that the body of
Christ may
be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the
faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and
become mature, attaining to the whole measure of
the fullness of Christ. 16 From him the whole
body, joined and held together by every
supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up
in love, as each part does its work.
Ephesians 411-13 16 (NIV)
4
The principle purpose of this organization shall
be to work together as members of the body of
Christ in such a way that by the power of the
Holy Spirit the Living Christ and His Word will
be brought to bear upon every aspect of life so
that, in turn, the
greatest number of people will come into a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ by faith
and grow as His disciples in Faith, Hope and
Love, glorifying God by following Christ daily.

Where are we Going?
Two issues to address ministry facilities.
Our philosophy of ministry Our purpose with
respect to ministry is not to super-size but to
multiply. Our vision will be best served, not by
trying to become one more mega-church but by
aspiring to become a movement of multiple and
multiplying ministries a movement of multiple
services, multiple campuses and multiple
congregations that share a common set of values
and distinctives.
11
Why Multiply?
1. First, we simply sense this as God's calling
for our particular church fellowship in light of
our values and distinctives as informed by the
Scriptures and prayer. 2. Second, we believe
this is actually the most best and most biblical
way to reach more non-Christians. 3. Third, we
believe this is the most best and most biblical
way to develop and deepen Christian discipleship
amongst those who already believe.
12
Reaching Non-Christians

• New churches best reach the unchurched--period.
  Dozens of denominational studies have confirmed
  that the average new church gains most of its new
  members (60-80) from the ranks of people who
  are not attending any worshipping body, while
  churches over 10 15 years of age gain 80-90 of
  new members by transfer from other congregations.
  This means that the average new congregation
  will bring 6-8 times more new people into the
  life of the Body of Christ than an older
  congregation of the same size.

Why Plant Churches, T. Keller

John Piper on Church Planting
Experience has shown, and the Bible would
support, that new churches are one of the most
effective means of evangelism. Leith Anderson,
from across town at Wooddale says, New churches
are flexible, open to newcomers, entrepreneurial,
outreaching, and not burdened with servicing old
internal relationships and demands. Older
churches tend to become so burdened with
budgets, buildings, and pastor and people
problems that they no longer have the energy for
outreach. We will fight with all our might to
keep that from being true at our 135-year old
Bethlehem. But there is no doubt that new
churches have new energy for evangelism. Their
life depends on it. That is a good thing.
14
Strengthening Christians
One study of over 1,000 churches by an
Organization called Natural Church Development,
looked at eight indications of church health.
1.) Empowering leadership 2.) Gift-based
ministry, 3.) Passionate spirituality, 4.)
Effective structures, 5.) Inspiring worship
services, 6.) Holistic small groups, 7.)
Need-oriented evangelism 8.) Loving
relationships.
Smaller Churches were consistently better on all
but 5
15
What is our plan for multiplication?

• Develop our facilities based on our ministry
  philosophy.
• Deepen our knowledge base during a season of
  prayerful investigation.
• Launch our ministry of multiplication using
  time-tested models that are back by knowledge and
  bathed in prayer.
• How? When? Where?

Our Philosophy For Facilities Our purpose with
respect to facilities is not to super-size but to
maximize.
If our ministry vision focuses on multiplication
we do not need a facility large enough to house a
mega-church but we do need a facility that is
sufficient to serve as a base for multiplying
ministry throughout our community.
20
Key Issues to address regarding facilities 1.
Providing a modest increase in seating capacity
to enable us to be a "base church" without the
cost and demands of building compromising our
ministry and mission. 2. How can we increase
administrative and educational space to meet
"base church" needs 3. How can we maintaining
sufficient parking and traffic flow to meet the
needs of our congregation? 4. Creating more
gathering space, an enlarged kitchen, lobby,
multi-use space, and ladies bathroom space. 5.
Balancing the cost of building with projected
increases in the cost of other ministry
priorities.
21
Present direction regarding facilities
The most effective way to address all of the
above issues is to 1.) build a two story
multipurpose addition on the South West corner of
our property just South of the worship area and
2.) expand the present worship area, lobby and
ladies restroom to the North.
22
Increased seating will be addressed by 1.)
extending the overflow seating area the entire
width of the church and adding onto the North end
of the worship area bringing it out to the
present Handicap parking spaces. This will give
us 100 extra seats. 2.) the creation of a
multi-purpose room in a new building to the South
of the present worship area. This room could seat
up to about 175 people in an alternative worship
venue. The extension of overflow seating alone
will easily enable us to grow to as many as 1,000
people in three services.
23
The increased need for administrative facilities,
kitchen space, common areas, ladies restrooms,
storage etc. would be addressed through 1.) the
addition of the North end of the Worship area
mentioned above, 2.) the two-story
multi-purpose building on the South end of the
Worship area, and 3.) significant remodeling
and extension of the present lobby and ladies
restrooms.

itself up in love, as each part does its work.
