The Future Church Part 2 - July 30, 2000

Sermon Acts 2:42-47
The future church part 2…..the permission giving congregation

The parsonage was hit by vandals….toilet papered
The early church….focused and unencumbered

The modern church
Struggles with system designed to keep things the same

Mission drives the church
Invite form send

Structure disappears…book of discipline

Trustees many hands make light work
Sprc

Dream team .. church council
Dreams/Sets priorities

Steering team/exec hub

Accountability = the mission
Minutes of exec hub in newsletter
If the pastor is a problem….he goes
Solved several problems this week alone

Funding for ministries
Budgeting/Faith/patience

Spiritual gift inventories
Recruit & deploy people into ministry
Passion comes to the front

Biblical
People are freed to spend their time in ministry

Next few Sunday afternoons
Pray for the future of your church
