On April 19, 2015, the church
membership of Brighton First voted to implement five recommendations of a
consultation team that visited our church and assessed our ministry. The plan
is called Vital Church Initiative. (Read the entire report at the "documents" link on this blog site.) The areas listed for redevelopment included:
Vision and Mission Alignment, Goal Setting and Strategic Planning, Worship,
Intentional Faith Development, Leadership Development and Intentional and
Focused Community Outreach.
These areas of focus and
redevelopment include structural and cultural changes in our system. We are
half way through our 24 months of implementation. Major changes have included:
reconfiguring and adding staff, worship design, a new mission and vision,
intentional work and programming in hospitality, faith development and
community outreach, and leadership training.
To date, many congregation
members have offered their efforts and prayers to this revitalization
commitment. I give thanks for the efforts, the words of encouragement and the
prayers of so many.
Our mission as followers of
Jesus Christ is to know God, love God and serve God. We work in all areas of
our ministry to do this with passion and excellence.
