By: Pastor Grace In the month of April, I began a very important process of selfevaluation. I first took a good look at myself to determine how I could do a better and more efficient job as the Senior Pastor of FBBC. This led me to begin to look at the church and attempt to determine what we do well and what we don t. These personal inquiries led to what we know as the S.W.O.T. process. Several meetings were held in which different leadership groups met to have some candid conversations about the past, present, and future of our church. Honest and open conversation was encouraged, and I chose to attend none of these meetings so that people could feel free to respectfully critique any and every aspect of church life. All meetings were facilitated by staff pastors who shared with me a desire to make body life better in the days to come. All of the lists of information, good and bad, were put together and listed in order of frequency, urgency and priority. From this extensive list several things of concern surfaced as the most important and critical issues to address. Along with these we noted the many strengths and resources that FBBC has amassed to face the future, among them the many talented and dedicated people. During this time we spent our Sunday mornings going BACK2CHURCH. I shared a series of messages that reminded us what a local New Testament Church was commissioned to do and how we were to do it. We started with Worship and ended at Vision. We noted four key pillars of the church in which we could sum up our mission, Connect, Grow, Serve, Go. This series of messages essentially took the whole summer. The series concluded with Vertical Church on 9/15 and This Generation Now, our Vision casting Sunday, on 9/16. Nationally, with 80% of Christian young people walking away from the church after high school graduation, we asked ourselves "why?" Then we determined to do everything we could to build This Generation Now. Before we can effectively help our young people, we need to be the Church, a genuine, vibrant, compassionate and loving church. Our Bible conference followed where we reiterated our vision and focused on being a church that will more than meet the needs of our young people. Success depends heavily upon the adult population of FBBC taking the challenge before us most seriously. In the last few weeks, several leadership and strategy groups have been formed to address specific components of our vision. Among them: small groups, worship, assimilation, stewardship and oversight teams. (Continued)
3 (Refocusing our Vision, cont.) Several meetings have been held to address every important component of our vision. All of this is absolutely necessary before we will see the obvious results of all of the work and discussions. However, you will see changes for the better popping up all around you. Today we must address the need for internal change, heart change for FBBC. The message will focus on the heart of our church. As humans we are naturally and inescapably attracted by what we see externals. We make value judgments based upon what our senses first experience. Frankly, it is almost impossible to avoid this. The rubber meets the road not by avoiding these judgments but by overcoming them. We must overcome our personal bias, prejudice, preferences and presumptions to be the Body of Christ. In His incarnation Jesus put no emphasis on status and the externals of life. He intentionally was born in an animal feeding trough. He came as a baby, a carpenter, born to common parents of no social standing. He lived, ate, worked, and clothed Himself as a common man. He made Himself of no reputation confirming that what one sees on the outside pales in importance to that which is inside. Before FBBC will begin to realize its vision, there must be significant internal adjustments. FBBC must be a church where everyone is graciously invited and welcomed. There is no room for prejudice in the body. True equality is found in the Body, the Church. As God's people we are to look past the outside, the externals, and focus on the eternal needs of individual souls bound for an eternity, somewhere. We must not allow self-righteous, elitist, prejudicial attitudes cloud our vision to reach every soul with the love of Christ. THANK YOU Grace Dean Thank you for your prayers, cards, help and lovely flowers at the passing of my dad, Art Muscolino. The family was very touched. I also want to thank you for your continued prayers for complete healing from my auto accident the same day. Mostly, we know Dad is where he wanted to be. Praise the Lord.
