You Are Important To Us, We Need You To Survive
The Theme for 2023 is “Serving Our Community”.
To accomplish our mission we are going to need all hands on deck, the real hands and the virtual ones, the local and the distant. As a church we can grow wide, that is increase the number of people we fellowship with as a body, or we can grow deep, that is in knowledge of God’s word, prayer, praise, love, and unity. It is my belief that the Lord wants us to strive for growth both ways. The Bottom Line, ”All People Need the Lord”. The Springfield Baptist Church has the mission/charge to share Jesus with the world.
Proposed Church Initiatives 2023
1. Communicate with every member on the Church Rolls of Springfield Baptist Church whether local or distant.
2. Institute a church outreach program at least once per quarter to at least One Nursing home, Hospital, Jail and or School
3. Pair ministers and deacons and map them to a church member or church family for connection and care. To perform things like
communion, prayer, scripture and be the interface between church members and the church ministries namely the missionary ministry.
4. Perform two outdoor type meetings or services that are advertised and welcoming of the community.
5. Welcome packet and protocol for new members and members we have not communicated with in a long time.
6. Minister development Recurring Monthly opportunity for faithful associate ministers and faithful aspiring ministers to deliver a message to
the church and receive immediate feedback from the church regarding areas of improvement (Constructive criticism).
7. Re-establish children’s choir roughly age 2 thru 12ish and young adult choir 13ish thru 50.
