EEE REFRESH

A Nurturing Church What does it mean? The goal is to become a nurturing church. Where Everyone actively engages in caring for each other. Mentoring new members and fostering discipleship. NCD has 8 areas that each church must look at Empowering leadership Gift-based ministry Passionate spirituality Effective structures Inspiring worship services Holistic small groups Need-oriented evangelism Loving relationships What would it take to become a more Nurturing church?

A Relevant Church What does it mean? “The Relevant church” – You and I become relevant to our communities. “The salt of the earth”, and “The light of the world” Our measurable target for the quadrennium will be to baptize 5000 souls. There will be Conference wide dates for baptisms which will fall on the last Sabbath of every quarter. With Everyone on board we can baptize 5000!!! What would a Relevant church look like ?

A Spiritually Hungry Church What does it mean? As the church becomes more hungry for God’s word and His character, it will see improvements in the the personal and spiritual lives of members & Pastors alike As we study God’s word and grow spiritually, the character of Christ will be seen in us. God will open doors for us and we will see the power of God. He did this for us at the end of August – Adventist Radio London What would it take to become a more Spiritually Hungry church?

A Resourceful Church What does it mean? Increase in tithe & gift aid to support SEC Missions Therefore there must be money for mission! The South England Conference with your help will seek to raise £65 million in tithe and £15 million in Gift Aid by the year 2019. This will enable us to move the mission of the church forward. As we give more we can do more! Money Follows Mission What would it take to become a more Resourceful church?
