, PromptingsI’ve been observing congregations for a long time, paying special attention to how they respond during times of transition. Some congregations go on hold. Others thrive. Somehow, their members deepen their commitment to Christ, the church, and being God’s good news in their communities. Each congregation, of course, is unique, but those which thrive while in transition share some qualities. Their members choose:
• To embrace faith rather than fear• To show up• To pray together and as individuals• To volunteer for and practice a ministry• To listen well to one another • To listen well to the Spirit• To seek out, invite, bring, and acclimate friends to the congregation• To give regularly • To embrace and work a search process in cooperation with elected leadership• To prepare themselves to welcome the next pastor into their lives
Can Central Baptist Church of Fountain City not only survive but thrive throughout the transition times? After a little over eight years of shared ministry with you, I know you can.
Here’s a bit of pastoral advice: Start practicing the ten actions this week and in the weeks to follow. If you do so, CBCFC will hit the formal transition running strong.
