1. One Mission . . . Three Priorities
Robby Partain
October 2009

2. The BBA Mission
Assist churches!

3. What does the mission mean?
Our job is to come alongside the local church and help them carry out their Great Commission assignment. We don’t create, operate, or fund ministries around or in lieu of the local church.

4. Priorities in Carrying Out the Mission
Assisting churches in starting new churches
Assisting churches in church health and revitalization (including project partnerships)
Assisting churches in equipping church leaders (including peer-to-peer relationships)

5. The BIG Question
The #1 question in North American Christianity right now:
“What in the world are we going to do with all these plateaued & declining churches?”

6. Our Response
We have a process & BBA council in place (latent potential)
We need to do everything we can to see that potential realized
We need a multi-dimensional approach to helping churches become healthy & helping church leaders in leading healthy churches

7. Ramping Up the Church Health Ministry
New in 2010: The role of Church Health Consultant
You might know him: Dr. J.K. Minton
Assignment: Strategy, tools, and coaching
Goal: A customized approach tailored to the needs of the church & church leader

8. Summary: The Plan for 2010 Plant churches and nurture our plants
Equip church leaders
Give new attention to helping churches be healthy

9. Why?
Because we believe in the local church as the vehicle through which the Father is calling people to His Son and developing them as disciples through the power of the Holy Spirit
