“ How We Will Rebuild Our Church…” Presented by Minister Joe Faxio April 2012 Bishop Eddie L. Long, Sr. Pastor New Birth Missionary Baptist Church

It was largely built on the name of our Pastor Only “certain people” reached the lost Only “certain people” made disciples Only “certain people” were discipled The majority of Church ministry was done only at the Church building We expected people to come and check us out Our Old Model of Church New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One 2

Led to the burn out of people (80/20) The majority of people never completed the work of the ministry. It left cracks - people may or may not experience spiritual growth. People took on an “us vs. them” mentality when it came to ministry. Pastors were overburdened and pressured because they carried too much weight. Church survival was highly contingent upon the Pastor. Our Old Model Was Flawed New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One 3

The responsibility to evangelize and make disciples will be placed on the 80% (Members). The 20%(Ministry Officers) will equip and encourage the Members. The majority of the work of the ministry will be done by members in their own neighborhoods and communities. Everyone will be discipled while discipling others What The New Model Will Look Like New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One 4

We will always be growing because we will always be evangelizing. Everyone who is an active member of our church should experience spiritual growth. The work load of ministry will be spread more evenly among the congregation and improve the overall quality of life for our members. No one will fall between the cracks because everyone will be accounted and cared for. Our Pastor and staff will no longer be overstretched and can focus on fewer higher impact activities.

Once a network reaches 100, that leader will become a Pastor and possibly come on staff. Evangelism and Discipleship will not be ministries but part of our church culture. Our new members processes will change. What Will Change As a Result of This Process….. New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One 11
