Church Plant Reset Meeting October 20, 2013

1.We must acknowledge where we are 2.Continue to love and value one another over our own opinions, ideas and plans 3.Feedback from congregation 4.Some common questions/concerns 5.Church plant options are being considered by the elders … still committed to establishing another church in the Omaha area

Option 1: Wait  for how long?  for what purpose?

Option 2: Begin looking for a new church planter  Form a search committee (involve church plant team?)  Set a new target date for launch (depending on length of time we desire church planter to be on staff before launching the church plant)

Option 3: Use multi-site model  Message viewed on screen at second location with everything else live  Hire a campus pastor not a church planter (not looking for a teacher but a shepherd)

Reestablish a Core Group …  Are now or willing to become members of CBC  Elder approved  Help write the story … work with the elders in shaping the direction of the ministry (i.e. how teaching ministry is accomplished)  Begin meeting immediately  Recruit others  Develop focused areas of ministry

… But each has a role  Core group – leadership  Congregants – willing to join the church planting effort  Helpers – not part of the church plant but willing to be involved to support the work  All – everyone in the CBC family giving and praying as the Lord leads
