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.
