Overview of ‘Shepherding’ Pastoral Care at McLean Bible Church
McLean Bible Church PASTORAL COMMITMENTS: Shepherd the Flock. Cultivate a culture of discipleship. Multiply points of pastoral contact within church. Equip the Saints for Works of Ministry. Infuse Scripture into every environment. Develop lay pastors & leaders within congregation. Better Steward our God-Given Resources. Leverage everything for making evangelistic impact. McLean Bible Church
Current State of Affairs: Under 20% of attenders or members in a Small Group (approx. 130). 52% of congregants NOT interested in any Discipleship Group at present. Half of those who come to faith in Christ at MBC are still not baptized. Backdoor survey revealed long-time members left as a result of difficulty assimilating / no interactions with ministerial staff. Lack of pastoral connections for congregants (i.e. difficulty contacting or locating a pastor). Impersonal processes / communication pathways.
The WHAT: Regional Ministry VISION FOR REGIONS: Simplified point of contact: Regional Pastor. Focused effort on development of believers through groups (diff. sizes/types): Regional Pastor of Groups. Providing personal connections/recommendations to groups; visitor retention. A physical MBC ministry presence in your area/neighborhood. Localized and personalized ministry & outreach. A fully developed lived life of faith for MBC congregants that connects them to one another and their communities that results in a truly evangelistic impact on D.C. The WHAT: Regional Ministry A BIG PICTURE SUMMARY OF HOW WE BELIEVE GOD WILL USE ‘REGIONS’ TO EXPAND THE MINISTRY OF MCLEAN BIBLE CHURCH IN-AND-AROUND METRO D.C.
