Where do we go from here?
Church Plant Reset MeetingOctober 20, 2013
Goal …Creatively Broaden our Circle of influence
(focus: Omaha)
1. We must acknowledge where we are2. Continue to love and value one another over
our own opinions, ideas and plans3. Feedback from congregation4. Some common questions/concerns5. Church plant options are being considered by
the elders … still committed to establishing another church in the Omaha area
Recap from Aug 18 …
Option 1: Wait for how long? for what purpose?
A way forward …
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)
A way forward …
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)
A way forward …
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
A way forward …
… 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
A way forward …
