We anticipate that this coming fiscal year will be a pivotal year in our time of transition. Pastor George has begun to call us to a new vision with an emphasis on growing as disciples in the context of community.

Fiscal reality requires the Mission Council to prayerfully evaluate how we engage in outreach. Changes in our situation, the growth of national Christians and many of our missionaries reaching retirement make changes imperative.

Two trends are converging at this time. One is fiscal as we are challenged to match our spending with our available resources. The other is strategic as Pastor George Davis, the elders and staff continue to sharpen our focus and become more purposeful in staffing to that vision.
