Give Christ your best through His Church! Stand with the best people for the best things. Stand with the church. I was invited to attend the Midwest Leadership Summit Advance 2018, on January 23-25. This was put together as a collaboration from 10 different Baptist state conventions and the North American Mission Board. While I was there I was able to take six different sessions, from over 100 to choose from. The conference was paid for mainly by the Cooperative Program. The Cooperation Program is money that we send each month to the Missouri Baptist Convention that funds ministries here in Missouri, and a percentage is then sent to the Southern Baptist Convention. I really picked up a lot of good information at this event. I hope to find ways to implement this information in our church, but not all at once. The sessions I went to focused mainly on becoming more missional as a congregation and becoming more evangelistic as a congregation. I attended one session on intergenerational worship. One important thing I picked up is that as a church we should always be about God s mission. What is God s mission? This is the grand story of scripture; creation, fall, redemption, restoration. God s mission is to redeem a fallen people and restore them to the perfect way they were created. With that in mind we (Centennial Baptist Church) need to discover what is God doing and discern how God wants us to participate. God has given our church abilities and resources to use on this mission. God has called us to this purpose, to reach people from our community who are fallen (all of us before we were redeemed by Jesus) and help them know Jesus, through faith, so they can be restored to a relationship with God. Everybody needs Jesus to be right with God! Let s work towards reaching our community with the Good News of Jesus! Pastor Bryce
