DISTRICT OFFICERS 1. District Superintendent DISTRICT SUPERINTENTENT S REPORT Dr. Jim Kraemer 2017 Dr. Crocker, Dr. Bowling, members and friends of the 2017 Illinois District Assembly, I bring you my third report as Superintendent of this great district. Dr. Crocker, we welcome you and Rachel to Illinois. Thank you for your leadership and friendship as we work together in bringing the Kingdom of Jesus Christ to our communities. In your packet you have the Strategic plan that we have put together to lead our district through the next few years. As you look at our Vision Frame, you see our Vision Statement. The Illinois District Church of the Nazarene exists to Enlighten, Equip, Encourage, and Empower Leaders to get the Bride ready for the Coming Bridegroom in their respective communities. The mission is framed in the Great Commission and Great Compassion of Jesus Christ, to go into all the world and make disciples and to minister and care for the poor, disenfranchised, and broken people of our communities. Our core values are to reflect Jesus in all we do, be intentional in our mission, develop a passion for lost and broken people, and work as a team to turn things around on our district. The strategy will include communication, prayer events, training events, and resourcing. And we will measure our progress by church and leadership involvement, implementation of mission, and visible fruit produced. Please read through the strategic plan when you return home and let s work together with the love, presence, and power of Jesus Christ to make a difference in every community God has allowed us to be in. We began the year with a covenant together to lead our churches in seeking God with all our hearts. Pastors called me sharing stories about sermons preached, altars filled, and great prayer times in many of our churches. With the move of the District Office, Doug Haynes, David Samayoa and I have been able to work better in carrying out the mission of our district. This year David Sorensen took on the role of District Prayer Coordinator. He attended many of our staff meetings and has brought leadership in conducting prayer 62

64 meetings, empowering prayer teams, and encouragement through s to our pastors. It has been a challenging year with the Illinois economy. While many of our communities are experiencing loss in population, our churches are stepping through new open doors to reach lost and broken people. We are reminded that there are still many unchurched, broken and hurting people in all our communities. The work of the church can actually increase in a climate like we are experiencing in Illinois. We continued to provide training in church revitalization and church planting. Churches like Marshall and Belleville First have updated facilities, getting ready for guests. Mt. Vernon experienced a miracle, as they were able to trade their building for a newer, much better building with a finished parking lot, beautiful home, and a substantial sum of money. Through the year we had conversions, baptisms, revival services, victories and discipleship taking place in many our churches. We focused on five church plants this year. Pastor Greg Breeden led the Shelbyville congregation to become a mother church of our new start in Mattoon. Pastor Dave and Barb Perkins moved into the community as Church Planters and Well Church. Then Pastor Aaron Lynn led the Belleville First congregation to become a mother church to the Belleville Hispanic Congregation. Pastor Russ Brewer and Belleville Emmanuel also partnered in assisting this new congregation. Pastor Sonia Samayoa was called to pastor this new congregation. Granite City Hispanic was started by David Samayoa, and located in a Baptist Church in that community. Pastor Brian Trambley, Carbondale New Beginnings, and Pastor Jim Frye, Murphysboro continue to partner together as mother churches for Carbondale Hispanic. David Samayoa is working in Mattoon and Urbana with Hispanic families as we prepare to start new congregations in those communities. A highlight of the year was the arrival of Pastor Samuel and Isela Gomez and their son at our Effingham Hispanic Church. Three years ago I drove by an empty Nazarene church on a beautiful piece of property. At Pastor Samuel s installation the church was full, giving us a picture of a great future for this pastor and his amazing congregation. Pastor Greg Breeden has led teams from Shelbyville, Salem Grace, and others in working on the building. Many of you helped furnish the parsonage as we prepared for the arrival of Pastor Gomez and family. Pastor Rita Briggs turned Jacksonville Grace Place over to Pastor Les and Ava Moore. Pastor Rita seeks God s direction for her next church plant or assignment. Pastor Mark Copley and Pastor Tim Mondy are working with Centralia Celebrate Recovery group which continues to touch lives with lay leadership. These represent new start churches over the past three years. If you have had any part in contributing to the starting of any of these churches, please come forward. A few months ago a letter arrived at my office from an attorney in Overland Park, Kansas. That will get your attention. The letter was to let us know that Sergio and Ester Franco, who have recently gone on to heaven, so believed in the ministry of David Samayoa that the district on which he served will be a beneficiary of their trust. This confirms the wisdom and spiritual sensitivity to those who were in leadership when David Samayoa was called to the Illinois District. Please welcome the Franco s son, Paul Franco as he comes to make a presentation.. We have a plaque with the picture of Sergio and Ester, which we will hang in the District office as a reminder of their love for God and His work, and for Hispanic ministries in the USA and around the world. Thank you Paul and family for your love for God, your love for Pastor David Samayoa, and your generosity to the Hispanic work on the Illinois District. As we continue to move forward, we have a strategic plan in place to carry out the two fold mission of the Illinois District. The Great Compassion of Jesus reminds us, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me (Matthew 24 : 40). The people of Illinois are experiencing the fallout of our dysfunctional government. It has created a great opportunity for the church. Let s step up meeting the needs of lost, broken, and hurting people through food pantry s, thrift stores, support 63

65 groups, foster parenting, adoption ministries, and anything else we can think of that helps people and points them to the love, presence, and power of Jesus Christ. In my strategic plan we offer ways to accomplish this globally, across the district, and locally. This is the year we need to turn things around. God will honor us as we love and care for people who HE loves and cares for. The Great Commission of Jesus reminds us to go into all the world and make disciples. This past year 66 of our 88 churches reported new converts, totaling 391. That is 75% of our churches reaching into the lives of new people. Let s celebrate that!! Our goal is to enlighten, equip, encourage, and empower EVERY Illinois church to be involved in Intentional Evangelism. At Team Day in January, we had Walt Bennett, from Organic Outreach International help us launch strategy for Intentional Evangelism. We have put together a training cohort for Organic Outreach who will be coached and trained to carry this strategy through the district. Pastors Brian Trambley, Cory Swinderman, Darrin Workman, Jared Bouton, Jim Norman, and Wayne Clevenger, along with their Outreach Team Leader will be a part of this training and coaching cohort. Our goal is to equip and encourage every church with a system of Intentional Evangelism that will fit into current ministries and programs. Even with the 391 new converts, and several churches showing strong growth, we continue to decline in all areas except SDMI. We must turn the decline around this year. We will be working hard with Intentional Evangelism and I expect my pastors to be engaged in the process. As part of our strategy my staff and I will be traveling to each zone every quarter to follow up with training, communication, encouragement in areas such as Intentional Evangelism, discipleship, finances, and other items or concerns Pastors want to talk about. Please check the calendar in your strategic plan booklet, as I expect my Pastors to be at these meetings. The only excuse I ll take is that you are too busy reaching and discipling new people, and creating new Nazarene s, so you simply cannot get away. We may need to add a new time for bi-vocational pastors. We have to turn things around this year. We have to!! I will also be meeting each quarter with new pastors who have arrived on this district in the last three years, and we will be meeting quarterly with the Hispanic pastors. We have to come together to pray, strategize, equip, encourage, and empower the leaders of our great district. Did I tell you we have to turn things around this year? We have to! And pastor, it is your responsibility to take leadership in reaching new people with the gospel in your community, and teaching your congregation in Intentional Evangelism. Marc Abla, layman at Decatur First, is serving as the Outreach Influence Team Leader for the district training. Marc, I have a question for you. What is your outreach temperature today? Why? Intentional Outreach has captured Marc Abla. Marc was a delegate to General Assembly. Outside his hotel Marc met two homeless men, Gary and Jeff. He began to build a relationship with them. He took time to hear their story and began showing them what the love of Jesus looks like. Saturday evening they were with Marc in the General Convention service where Dr. Porter preached a powerful message on hope. They were with Marc again at the Sunday morning and evening service. Later that week when the two new General Superintendents were installed, there was Gary and Jeff, with Marc Abla experiencing this historic moment in our great church. I told them that there are 2.5 million Nazarene s around the world, most of whom will never experience an installation service for new General Superintendents. I don t know what will happen to Gary and Jeff. I do know that they know Jesus loves them and Marc Abla loves them and that the Nazarene s are a caring group of people. Marc has stayed in touch with these two men and continues to influence their lives. If Gary and Jeff move into your community, will Jesus trust your church with them? Will they find genuine love and care? Will people do what it takes to reach out to them? If fact, does Jesus trust your church with any lost and broken people? That is a 64

66 question we must continually ask. Lezlie and I are building a relationship with four of our neighbors. I don t have time to tell you about the doors God is opening, but we continue to discover that HE opens doors when we ask Him to. Illinois District, we have to turn things around this year. We have to! With the love, presence, and power of Jesus Christ, we can. But we have to be intentional with our evangelism. Pastor s I have a challenge. If you will determine with God s help to bring at least one new person to faith in Christ this year and disciple them, I want you to stand so I can pray for you. Don t make it a project, make it a passion to obey Christ s commands. Develop a relationship with an unchurched person with the intent of leading them to Jesus. Begin to disciple them, and send me a picture of you and them together so we can share our stories at next year s District Assembly. Better yet, bring them with you to the Assembly. Church Laity, I have a challenge for you. If you will determine with God s help to personally bring at least one person to faith in Christ this year, and disciple them, I want you to stand so I can pray for you. Again, don t make it a project, but a passion to obey Christ s command. Build a relationship with an unchurched person with the intent of leading them to Jesus. Begin to disciple them, and send me a picture of you and them together so we can share our stories at next year s District Assembly. Better yet, bring them with you to the Assembly. I will be praying that the Holy Spirit will go before all of us, opening doors that will amaze us, and that all of you can experience the joy of bringing someone to faith in Jesus Christ. This is the year we must turn things around on the Illinois District. Let s do it!

Thad Haynes This has been an amazing year on the Illinois District for SDMI. What a joy it is to serve the wonderful churches, pastors, and lay people that are working so hard to make Christ-like disciples. The following report highlights many of the high points from our year. Jodi and Dave Askins report another great year for Lay Retreat at Camp Warren. They were ministered to by Rosalynn Williams and led in worship by the Duffield s. This year, they hope to expand the opportunities for discipleship by offering breakout times with specific focuses. The dates are set for September and will be held once again at Camp Warren in Decatur. The workers for the Weekend are Billy Huddleston and Bob and Jennifer Wilkerson. We had a great year in Children s Quizzing under the direction of Vonda Hill. This year 21 churches from the district participated on the District level with representation from 97 quizzers. Out of those quizzers, 27 of them qualified to go on to the 20 th World Quiz. They joined 5880 quizzers from 12 countries in the largest Word Quiz to date. July 5-8 found SDMI back at Camp Warren for Children s Camp. 170 campers and 35 workers from 21 of our churches experienced one of the best camps from recent years. Terry Hedges did a fantastic job as camp speaker and many children responded in the services. Thanks to Debbie Brewer, Children s Director, along with Ryan and Cheyenne Lutz from Decatur for directing such a great week. Next year s camp with be July This year saw many gains for some churches across our district. Those showing 1-9% gain in SDMI Responsibility and attendance are: Belleville Emmanuel, Casey, Centralia, Chrisman, Decatur Parkway, Effingham Hispanic, Fairfield Fountain of Life, Mahomet, Murphysboro, Nebo, Oasis Community, Roxana, Salem Grace, Shelbyville, and The Hope House. Those showing 10-49% gain are: Arcola Spanish, Bethel Community, Carbondale New Beginnings Community, Decatur Trinity, Granite City Iglesia del Nazareno, and Oakwood. We also had two churches reach Exceptional status- 50% or more gain: Decatur Oak Grove and Taylorville First. Russ Brewer reports great things from our Adult Ministries. Our Primetime Day held at Salem Grace had 127 in attendance. They enjoyed a day filled with fellowship, music with The Clarks and messages from Dr. Ted Lee. This year we will head back to Salem on October 24 and expect good news from Dr. Diehl and the Wilkerson s. Our District Ladies Day is set for October 14 in Roxana. We look forward to hearing Lynnlee Moser encourage our ladies. Thanks to Lisa Sorensen for heading up this special day. We also had an eventful day in Shelbyville for Men of Purpose Conference. One hundrednineteen men from the district were encouraged by our DS, Dr. Kraemer and led in worship by Rev. Russ Burch. This year s conference is April 21 with Dr. Scott Sherwood. Thanks 72

74 to Gary Townsend, Bob Turner, and Russ Brewer for all your efforts to make it an inspiring day. As I wrap up my first year as District SDMI Chairman, I m encouraged by all that our district is doing. I also am encouraged by our global church. Eleven delegates represented our district at the General SDMI Convention in Indianapolis this summer. While there we saw that discipleship is so vital not only here in our world area but around the globe. What a joy to serve a church, district and denomination that has not lost focus that we must all go and make Christ-like disciples. Respectfully Submitted, Rev. D. Thad Haynes District SDMI Chairman 3. District NMI President Sandy Stickler It has been my privilege to serve as your Nazarene Missions International District President this past year. Our churches have been busy making Christlike disciples in the nations. We are thankful God allows us to help in His mission. We use five emphasis to reach out...prayer, Alabaster, LINKS, World Evangelism Fund, and Involving youth and children. Prayer is the key to all ministry. Without it we can do nothing. One hundred percent of reporting churches do pray for missionaries and the work of the mission department. Our district had 3 LINKS families this year and were divided among our zones. James & Katherine Radcliffe, Henry & Grace Stevenson, and Robert & Kolene Hintz. We are building relationships between the missionaries and our congregations. The World Evangelism Fund (WEF) is a very important part of the financial support of missions. Our district gave $468, making the Illinois District a World Evangelism Church of Excellence. Thirty-four individual churches over paid their WEF also receiving this distinction. There were fifty-three churches who paid their WEF budget in full. Thank you so much!!! Alabaster is an offering taken in the churches with an emphasis in February and September. All monies in this offering are used for buildings and property on the mission field. Illinois gave $37, this year to Alabaster. Keep up the good work! Our council believes so much about including the children and youth that they voted this year to give a scholarship of 100% of the camp fee for a teen or child to go to camp at the spring zone rally and the fall zone rally. It is important our children find Jesus young and listen to his voice. Many missionaries report they were called into missions at an early age. The people of Illinois have been reaching out to the world with local ministries, district ministries and global ministries. They have given to Compassionate Ministries including child sponsorship, the Jesus Film, World Broadcast, work and witness and deputation offerings taken in three missionary district tours. I celebrate with you for all that has been accomplished this year, but want to challenge each church to do just a little bit more! Only 43% of our churches are Mission Priority Churches. We must do better!! Let's set our goal to be 90% next year. I know we can do it and I will be contacting you and trying to help you through the year. So, roll up your sleeves, put on your prayer caps and see what God can do through us in !! 73

75 Respectfully submitted, Sandy Stickler IL District NMI President 4. District NYI President Jay Bush Highlights: The past year has been a great one for the Illinois District NYI. We enjoyed a great Encuentro Puerto Rico mission trip where we conducted VBS, painted and ministered to the great Nazarenes of San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had several students from our District accept a call to the ministry on this trip. Kevin Hancock and the Good Samaritan youth group organized an outstanding Radiate event last fall. Radiate is a one day mission project in Washington Park. This past year we worked on clearing a path through the very overgrown woods behind the Ministry Center. There was a small path that went through the woods before but it was badly overgrown and was a serious safety issue with small children traveling from their homes to the ministry Center for the various after school programs and activities. Unfortunately, we ended up canceling the Spiritual Life Retreat due to some very icy weather. We were so looking forward to having one of our own, Tim Cox speak at the retreat. Tim is now a Youth Pastor in Kentucky. District Celebrate Life was once again held at Roxana church of the Nazarene. We had nearly 200 students participate. We are so thankful to the Roxana church for hosting Celebrate Life again. They have great facilities and a wonderful group of volunteers that make it all possible. Regional Celebrate Life was also fantastic. Our numbers were up about 40 students over the previous year. While we were not in contention for the Grand Trophy, our students demonstrated all their God-given talents through singing, athletics and the arts. They also had a wonderful time. Personally, the highlight of RCL was listening to the preaching of LaMorris Crawford. LaMorris is an anointed communicator and students and adults alike were powerfully impacted by the preaching and the worship services. Camp Table Rock provided another outstanding week of Spiritual focus and renewal for our District NYI. Ron Jackson was the speaker for the week and did an incredible job of challenging our students in their walk with Christ. That is the year in review but I also want you to know that this next year will hold many great opportunities to grow and give and serve God s kingdom as well. Preview: We are planning on continuing these great District events again this next year. Radiate, Spiritual Life Retreat, District Celebrate Life, Regional Celebrate Life, camp at Camp Table Rock and once again next summers are offering a District Mission trip (for students and adults and senior citizens and even children provided their parent is also going. Next summer we will be traveling to Guatemala City, Guatemala to run VBS programs, sports camps and to help plant churches. It is going to be a great great week of serving God. Jammed Boughton (Marshal) is our District Coordinator for this trip. See Jared for more information about this life-changing opportunity. Also, just a reminder that NYC (Nazarene Youth Conference) is in July of 2019 and will be held in Phoenix, Arizona. More information will be coming down the pike but I wanted to remind you. Vision: 74

76 I just gave you a snapshot of what we have done and what we are planning on doing. In reality I listed off a number of events or programs. Programs are (or at least can be) great but programs are NOT why we exist. Our desire is to use events/programs to engage students where they are and so we can have the opportunity to point them toward Jesus and the life-giving message of the Gospel. Programs are a method to accomplish our mission. What is our mission? Evangelism, Discipleship and Leadership Development. The District NYI exists to assist the local church in accomplishing these tasks. There are churches who have no NYI activities outside of District events and there are churches who have no need for the District NYI. By that, I simply mean that they do not rely on the District to provide Youth Ministry because they have a strong youth ministry apart from the District. In the days ahead, I would love to see more local churches providing Youth Ministry, even if it is only 1 or 2 or 5 youth. I know this can be difficult, many times in smaller churches there are also smaller resources and less adults who are willing to invest into the lives of its young people. According to the 2016 Annual Pastors report, 5,207 of the 22,392 organized local churches reported NO YOUTH! This represents nearly one out of every four local churches. We need to change this. We need to find creative ways to engage this generation for Christ. I challenge all churches on our District to make youth ministry a priority and work diligently in this next year to reach more youth. As District President I want to offer my help in assisting the local church either begin or grow their local youth ministry. One of the struggles for many laity in leading youth is knowing what to speak about and finding the time to prepare teaching material. In the days ahead, you will be hearing about an online subscription that will be made available to every local youth group on the District. This subscription will allow youth workers, volunteers, teachers, youth pastors, etc. to go online and download teaching materials as well as group games and other youth ministry content. These resources will be provided for one year free of charge. By next year s District Convention we will evaluate the need and participation and will consider continuing to provide these resources if they are being utilized and we are satisfied with them. So let me ask you to please use these resources when they are made available to you and please provide feedback on how you use and like them. With so many smaller churches who do not have youth staff we want to help put something that is high quality and user-friendly for our churches to use. I also want to challenge churches to be creative and figure out ways that your local church can evangelize the students of your community. Set goals, if your current youth ministry is one student, then try to triple or quadruple that in the next year. I would love to spend time next year in my report telling YOUR stories of how you and your local church invested your time, your resources and your imagination to grow the Kingdom of God. It is time for us to use the incredible minds thy God has given us. It is time to use the incredible technology and resources that God has provided us and let's get busy reaching students for Christ.

Christian Cultural Engagement A. WHEREAS, in times when our culture desperately needs the Church to be a living example of Christ-like holiness and love, we strongly urge: 1. All our sisters and brothers in Christ to remember that we are called to be the Body of Christ in our world being empowered by the Holy Spirit to the glory of God the Father. As a result, we urge our brothers and sisters to remember the importance of corporate Christian worship, the receiving of the Sacraments and the practice of spiritual disciplines within the family and individually, believing that these are primary Means of Grace by which the Holy Spirit shapes us into a holy people. 2. That pastors, evangelists, and leaders live and teach the scriptural doctrines of the new birth and entire sanctification, believing that the Holy Spirit bears 97

99 witness to both works of grace through the infilling of His Spirit, and that the one biblical evidence of the latter is the cleansing of the heart by faith from original sin manifested by the fruit of the Spirit in Christian service: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self- control (Gal 5:22-24). 3. That the church manual be made available to all in the church who desire it and the Articles of Faith (Manual, Part II, para 1-22, pgs ) and the Covenant of Christian Character (Manual, Part II, Articles , pgs ) be read, or printed, and distributed to the church body at least once a year admonishing each Nazarene to diligently pursue a lifestyle that honors God, the church and one another. 4. That new converts be lovingly nourished and instructed in the way of holiness. 5. That all of our people, "in putting off the old to put on the new and holy way of life as well as the mind of Christ (Eph 4:17-24), take to heart The Covenant of Christian Conduct of our church which gives guidance in areas of Christian Ethics, 104 entertainment, Marriage & Divorce, Abortion, Human Sexuality, Christian Stewardship, etc. (Manual, Part III, para 33-41, pgs 46-60). B. WHEREAS, ethics and values are constantly being questioned and changed by our society, the church must strengthen itself in its commitment and conduct. Therefore, this committee felt it vitally important to not only reaffirm our belief in Scripture and our Wesleyan guidelines, but to also provide useful information in this document to resource both laity and clergy to make the church both a beacon of hope and a model of holiness to our families, community and world. (Matthew 5:10-17; Ephesians 5:1-2,8-14; I Peter 1:13-17). Believing that ministry in the life of a Christian is based upon who we are in Christ, not merely the activities that we engage in, we encourage our people to see their world through the eyes of Jesus, to seek out opportunities for love and service at home and at work, within their local church as well as in the larger community. We also encourage our people to work with and in public institutions as a means of Christ-like engagement with our culture on the local, State, National, and Global levels. 1. Each local church should strive to provide opportunities for Christ-like service such as: a. Ministries to the vulnerable, marginalized, and hurting within one's own congregation, believing that Christian love demonstrated toward those within our own fellowship is one way that Christ's love is made evident to the culture around us. b. Consider initiating special ministries that reach out to the needy in the community.

Along with engaging in acts of love and service through the local church, we must encourage our people to bring the same acts of kindness into their workplaces and homes. In understanding that Christ has called not only pastors, but in fact all Christians to be salt and light in the world, we must 98

100 encourage our people to not look at their homes and workplaces as mundane and trivial, but as places to which they have been called to bring the love and hope of Jesus. We must understand that being a missional church is not something we do only corporately, but something we do individually, every day as we live our lives as salt and light in this dark and broken world. 3. Our people should show Christian stewardship by becoming involved in civic, community and school functions and cooperating with other churches and civic agencies who share our ministry objectives. Our pastors, youth workers and parents should maintain an awareness of the activities and promotions of organizations within the local school system and unite in an effort to oppose activities that do not comply with New Testament moral standards. Examples of civic organizations to offer aid and service to: a. Pregnancy Resource Centers b. Homeless Shelters c. Habitat for Humanity d. Credible Christian Counseling Centers e. Food & Clothing Pantries such as Hopeful Hearts Ministries in Decatur, the Good Samaritan Ministries Center in the 105 Metro- East and The Master's Hand in Olney and Newton along with multiple food pantries in local churches throughout the district. f. Nursing Homes; Senior Adult Organizations g. Appropriate Parent/Teacher Organizations (Resources: Nazarene Compassionate Ministries; Focus on the Family; Salvation Army; Nazarene Ethnic Ministries; Illinois Family Institute, 799 Roosevelt Road, Building 3, Suite 208, Glen Ellyn, IL; Toll free: (800- FAMILY-1); Fax:(630) ; info@illinoisfamily.org). 4. We should actively monitor our State and Federal Legislature on issues which pertain to, and affect our church and community and express appreciation to individuals/organizations that promote legislature and programs which edify. We encourage the above while being simultaneously mindful that our commitment to Christ our Lord must always be far greater than our commitment to any political party, agenda, or association. Therefore, we urge church leaders to make available the names and addresses of government officials and stress the importance of prayer for all elected officials. We also call our people to thoughtful participation in local, state and national politics, especially pertaining to the biblical ideals of faith, family, and social justice while also wholeheartedly acknowledging that the politics of this world are not the politics of the kingdom of God.

101 5. That each local church provides its members with ample opportunities to see beyond our own borders and mature into global Christians by staying informed about world events (both natural and political) and the persecution of fellow believers that we might pray for the increase of His government and peace on the earth. In addition, we urge the promotion of sacrificial giving for the cause of world evangelism and personally participating in Work and Witness when and where possible. (Resources: Nazarene Missions International - nazarenemissions.org; Nazarene Compassionate Ministries - ncm.org; Nazarene Communication Network - ncnnews.org, Voice of the Martyrs - persecutedchurch.org, International Christian Concern - ice@persecution.org) C. This report is a re-affirmation of our ethical and moral standards, as set forth by the General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene. It is the prayer of this committee that t h e s e suggestions and resources will benefit individuals and churches committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. For only through personal involvement can we go into the "fields white unto harvest" (John 4:37). LET US GO! Respectfully submitted, JAMES NORMAN, Secretary MICHAEL TAYLOR, Chairman 8. Church Growth We, your Committee on Church Growth, make the following recommendations to the district assembly for consideration: Commission We recommend that every church emphasize the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) in every facet of their ministry. Scripture is very clear that our primary motivation in church growth is seeing souls saved and discipled in Christ Jesus. Prayer Prayer is the foundation for all church growth. Without prayer, little of lasting value will be accomplished. We also recommend that the church provide opportunities for concentrated prayer and fasting during the church year. We recommend that each local church do their best to support the District sponsored Prayer Summits and Encounters. Mission/Vision/Purpose We encourage every church to develop a mission statement, a vision statement, and a clear statement of purpose. We recommend that these three key elements be presented to the local congregation on a regular basis to ensure continued focus on God's plan, mission and vision for the local church. Responsibility List Every church should maintain an accurate and detailed responsibility list. We also encourage each congregation to actively and regularly contact, nurture, and disciple those for which they have claimed responsibility. Contacting Absentees should be contacted through a regular, systematic approach. This is not solely the responsibility of the pastor, but should be a shared ministry within the church among the laity. Churches should be encouraged to use various means of making contact with absentees: personal visits, phone calls, texts, Social Media, etc. 100

102 Discipleship Emphasis should be given not only to evangelism, but also to discipleship. The new Christian should be encouraged to seek the experience of entire sanctification which leads to continued spiritual growth, productive service, and inspirational witness in the Christian life. Lay Ministry We encourage each local church to seek creative ways to provide for and promote Christian service and ministry opportunities within the church and community. Education Pastors and laymen should take full advantage of educational and CEU opportunities, including seminars, workshops, videos, books, and especially the quality CLT programs that our denomination offers. Evangelism Each local congregation should seek to evangelize their community with the vision of seeing souls saved and lives changed by the grace and for the glory of God. Innovative and creative methods of outreach and evangelism should be explored and implemented. New Church Starts We believe every church on the Illinois District can and should be prayerfully involved in creating or supporting new church starts. Each pastor should promote and attend the Church Planting Essentials and Churches Planting Churches DCPI training. Prayer, funding, and personal involvement in new church plants should be part of the local church mission statement and vision. Personal Evangelism It is the privilege and duty of every Christian to share their faith with others. We encourage all churches to provide specialized training for various types of personal evangelism as well as developing a mentoring plan for the discipleship of new converts. Revivals We encourage our churches to plan for and facilitate annual revival campaigns. We strongly urge the use of full-time evangelists in the Church of the Nazarene. Servant Evangelism Methods of servant evangelism should be employed in churches of all sizes and in all areas. The local church should look for creative and helpful ways to be a blessing to the community it ministers to. Finances Set aside a portion of the annual church budget for purposes of outreach and evangelism. The Bible says, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21)." Evangelism Committee We encourage each church to review and implement the guidelines for a local Evangelism and Church Membership Committee as stated in the Manual, page 71, and section Global Church Growth Award It should be the goal of every church to introduce each new convert into the membership of the Church of the Nazarene. The purpose of the General Superintendents Growth Award (GSGA) is to give prominence to those practices that are central to the local and worldwide advancement of the church, 101

103 specifically, new Nazarenes, significant involvement in sponsoring a new church, and 100% participation in fund allocations. Churches that win people to Christ are healthy. Starting new churches is the most effective means of evangelism known to the church. Fund allocations are essential to the cooperative ministries of the Church of the Nazarene. I. New Nazarenes requirements are based on 10% of attendance for the current year. II. III. The meaning of significant involvement in sponsoring a new church is very specific and is spelled out in the Sponsorship Criteria Worksheet. This worksheet is available online. Full participation in fund allocations includes district assignment, educational support, pensions (applicable to US only), and World Evangelism Fund. The requirements for receiving this award are intentionally high it is special recognition by the Board of General Superintendents. It is not based on attendance or membership. This award is not intended to replace all awards. This award is given in recognition of outstanding accomplishment in essential practices of the expansion of the kingdom of God through the Church of the Nazarene. The presentation of this award is intended to say Thank You to the receiving pastor and church, and to elevate in the consciousness of our people the compelling importance of winning people to Christ, starting new churches, and supporting the organizational structures that make possible evangelism around the world. Respectfully submitted, Cory Swinderman, Secretary Gary Williamson, Chairman 9. Ministerial Staff Support We, your Committee on Ministerial Staff Support, submit the following in order to care for the welfare of our spiritual leaders and encourage their commitment to our spiritual guidance. The district office and the Pastoral Support Committee want to assist pastors and church boards in understanding their roles in providing adequate compensation for its pastors and staffs. Support of the pastor by the church is an expression of the belief in the call of God on the life of the pastor rather than a job where monies are paid for services rendered. Adequate compensation enables a pastor to fulfill his or her calling. Pastoral support extends beyond the compensation and benefits for the pastor and staff and includes those expenses incurred by pastoral staff which is necessary to conduct the business of the church. Each church pays a sum to a pastor s ministry, which is divided into several categories: compensation, benefits and expenses. The sum of these categories is considered the cost of ministry to the local church, not all of which is to be considered the income of the pastor. The district Pastoral Support Committee has developed guidelines for local pastoral support committees to evaluate their commitment to the ministry of the pastor. Anyone wanting further assistance in assessing or planning adequate compensation may contact the district office. In addition to consideration for the local pastors, churches should also establish a remuneration policy for pulpit supply, including travel expenses. Senior Pastor The senior pastor is the leader of the church and a leader in the local community. 102

104 Bi-vocational Pastor A bi-vocational pastor supplements income by means other than church compensation. Churches should view the circumstances that cause the pastor to supplement income as a temporary situation to be resolved as soon as possible. The goal is to remove as many worldly concerns from the pastor as possible, so that the pastor may attend more intently on his or her life s calling. Recognizing that small and young churches may have difficulty in providing adequately for their pastor and family, we urge such churches to use what they are able to provide to the best advantage of their pastor and to strive toward the goal of full support. Associate Pastor and Staff An associate pastor is defined as a partner in ministry, on staff, whether receiving compensation or not. The church is to work toward a similar benefit package for the full-time associate as for the senior pastor (guideline to the church: an amount equal to 70 to 80 percent of the senior pastor s compensation package). Associate pastor and staff salaries should be negotiated in accordance with the recommendations of the senior pastor. Retired Pastor A retired pastor is a minister with retirement status. We recommend that retired pastors be employed for pulpit supply as frequently as possible. Retired pastors usually live on meager retirement benefits and may welcome the opportunity to provide for pulpit supply. Retired pastors are a source of experience and expertise that is available to the local church. Evangelist Often, the evangelist s only source of income is from meetings held at various local churches. We recommend that a full-time evangelist s minimum remuneration for such a meeting be an amount equal to twice the local senior pastor s weekly cash salary for each full Sunday in the special meeting (as recommended by the Evangelism Ministries of the Division of Local Church Growth). The local senior pastor s weekly cash salary and prorated insurance and Social Security benefits should all be included in the compensation. Additional compensation for housing and travel-related expenses should be paid in a separate check, allowing for maximum tax benefit for the evangelist. I. For the Pastor A. Concerning Salary: 1. That for all full-time pastors, every church provides a minimum of $ 475 per week salary. By definition, salary should not be deemed to include reimbursements and cost of ministry expenses listed below in Section B, Paragraph 1. The Advisory Board is to make the distinction between full-time and bi-vocational pastors. That churches which are legitimately unable to provide for such remuneration recognize that their pastor is bi-vocational and, therefore, able and obligated to supplement his or her income. We recommend that the district superintendent or designated personnel monitor the suggested minimum weekly salary on the basis of the materials provided by the general church s worksheet and, when necessary, give strong counsel to church boards to provide the above-stated minimum salary and benefits. 2. That the church place, as an employee benefit, an amount equal to 10 percent of the ministerial staff s monthly salary in a tax-sheltered annuity each month for his/her retirement. This is the third leg of the retirement tier recommended by the Pensions and Benefits office of the general Church of the Nazarene. 3. That the church review the ministerial staff salary at least annually and that increases reflect at least cost-of-living increases. That a letter be sent once a year from the district superintendent to the local church board secretary reminding the board of its responsibility in this area, and that a written summation 103

105 of the board s action shall be returned to the district superintendent within 30 days of the local board meeting. 4. That any significant increase in the annual amount raised for all purposes by the church during a pastor s tenure be taken into consideration at the time salary and benefits are reviewed. B. Concerning Reimbursements: 1. That the church pays reimbursements for all church-related expenses, and that among these are standard mileage reimbursement at the recommended IRS rate for personally-owned automobiles. To avoid additional financial burden on the pastor and staff during these days of rapidly changing gasoline prices, the church board is strongly encouraged to monitor and comply with any increases the IRS may possibly make on its recommended mileage rate during the calendar year. Entertainment expenses, office supplies, continuing education expenses (books, tuition, conferences, etc.), gifts and all other reimbursable expenses deemed appropriate by the IRS should also be included. 2. Church-related expenses of pastoral staff should be qualified on the basis of material from General Headquarters, as well as the Internal Revenue Service. Every church should provide adequately to prevent financial strain to the parsonage family, and that every church provides 100 percent Social Security and full family hospitalization. That churches be allowed to maintain their present insurance program, and if churches propose a change, the change should be approved by the district superintendent and the District Advisory Board. 3. That the church provides the ministerial staff expense to all church-related functions, including the district and general assemblies. Lodging, meals and transportation shall be a part of this expense. 4. That the churches encourage and financially support its ministerial staff to continuing education through school, seminars and conferences. 5. That each local church board provides funds for the purpose of sending its ministerial staff to the general assembly. C. Concerning Housing: 1. That the church provides housing and utilities and/or adequate housing allowance. Utilities shall include heat, water, sewer, electric, gas, internet, and trash pickup at a minimum. 2. That the church equips the parsonage with a stove, refrigerator, air conditioning, washer, dryer, draperies, curtains and carpeting. 3. That a minister could request the church board to adjust his/her compensation for any year in which it is anticipated that the minister will purchase major appliances and/or furniture. 4. That the fair-rental value and the designated additional parsonage allowance should be entered into church board records at the beginning of each calendar year. When a housing allowance is established in lieu of a parsonage, a review of the allowance should be made annually regarding payment, taxes, utilities and repairs. 5. That the Board of Trustees or Church Board of the local church inspect the parsonage once each year in order to continue to provide for quality living conditions. No parsonage family should be expected to live in substandard housing. This inspection should be scheduled with the pastor and spouse and 104

106 be done in their presence. Any necessary changes seen at this inspection should be completed as soon as possible. 6. That the local church board makes all necessary arrangements for the ministerial staff s moving expenses. D. Concerning the Ministerial Staff s General Emotional and Spiritual Welfare: 1. That the church continually lifts the parsonage families in prayer. 2. That the church remembers the ministerial staff s family with suitable gifts at appropriate times during the year and consider a gift of no less than one week s salary at Christmas. 3. That the church provide for vacation and time off according to the following scale (this schedule refers to total years in ministry): a. One year in the ministry: two weeks vacation b. Two to ten years in the ministry: three weeks vacation c. Ten to twenty years in the ministry: four weeks vacation d. Twenty or more years in the ministry: five weeks vacation (District Assembly, Family Camp, ministerial retreats and seminars, and working in Teen or Children s Camps are not to be considered as part of this vacation time allowance.) 4. In order to benefit the church and the health of the pastor, the church should encourage the pastoral staff to take a minimum of one day per week for family time. 5. That the church allow the senior pastor the privilege of holding a full week revival or speaking engagement of one or more days, not to exceed seven days per year, with the church to be responsible for pulpit supply without loss of salary to the pastor. 6. That the local church offer the pastor/staff two mental health days each month to be taken at the pastor s discretion, to be used at a time when workload or individual stress is overwhelming. 7. That the local church make available to its pastor a one month sabbatical at the end of each five years of uninterrupted ministry to that same church. II. For All Full-time Evangelists (Song and Otherwise) A. Concerning Salary: 1. That evangelists be paid at least an amount equal to twice the pastor s salary or a minimum of $500 for each Sunday of the meeting. 2. That, in addition, Social Security on the amount of salary be summarily paid. 3. That evangelists be notified in writing at the time the meeting is scheduled of the minimum remuneration they can expect to receive from the local church. 4. That local churches avoid canceling previously scheduled revivals. 5. That a local church canceling a revival without notifying the evangelist at least 30 days in advance be obligated to pay the minimum remuneration in full, unless the evangelist is able to reschedule the same date. 105

107 B. Concerning Reimbursements and Housing 1. That churches provide for all travel expenses, lodging and food during the meeting. 2. That local churches having full-time evangelists as members pay one-half the cost of the hospitalization insurance. 3. That local churches having full-time evangelists as members provide for their expenses to general and district gatherings. C. Concerning the Evangelist s General Emotional and Spiritual Welfare: 1. That finances for revivals be raised in advance of the scheduled meeting. 2. That the local church sends a Christmas gift to all evangelists who have served the church during that calendar year. 3. That local churches having full-time evangelists as members provide encouragement and support for their ministry through prayer and such tangible ways as love offerings and remembering them on their birthdays and anniversaries. III. For Retired Ministerial Staff A. Concerning Reimbursements: 1. That local churches having retired ministers as members provide for their expenses to general and district gatherings they wish to attend. B. Concerning Their General Emotional and Spiritual Welfare 1. That local churches having retired ministers as members remember them often, such as at birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas, with gifts of gratitude for their years of faithful service in the Kingdom. 2. That local churches having retired ministers as members pay one-half the cost of the hospitalization insurance. 3. That the Illinois District gives a one-time love gift to all elders upon their retirement. We recommend a minimum of $1,000. We ask that each local church board secretary and pastor receive a copy of this report from the district superintendent and that the same shall be read or distributed by the church board secretary to the church board as a reminder of their responsibilities. The church board secretary shall notify the district superintendent in writing concerning the fulfillment of this policy. Respectfully submitted, Jerimy Wooley, Secretary Darin Workman, Chairman VI.
