What did we hear clearly from you? Do not limit ourselves to Brownsburg Think of ourselves more as a regional community of faith on the west side We are not as diverse as we could be Especially given the population shifts happening in many of our neighborhoods and the surrounding areas Saying we want to be diverse is not enough We need to learn about our new neighbors and grow our capacity for interacting with diverse people (races/ethnicities, ages, religious backgrounds, political preferences, abilities, etc.) We are ready to take the next step with our youth program Expanding our children’s ministry and developing a middle and high school youth ministry is crucial We love serving… But feel as though we need to focus our outreach ministry more We want to deepen our spiritual lives Through participating in small groups and classes, but need to define clear pathways and next steps
