Dear TBC,
I want to thank you for allowing me to serve as your pastor. You are a great church with a great heart. My family and I have enjoyed this first year. We have seen many souls saved and baptized and several new members join our fellowship. I enjoy hearing you talk about how well things seem to be going!
I am very thankful for each person that works hard to make things happen around here. As your pastor I want to encourage you to stay focused and on guard for the sake of the cause of Christ. Keep unity as one of your priority goals. Always remember that this ministry is not about one person or a certain group of people, but all of us are in it together.
One of the dangers in church life is to see a few souls saved and numbers increasing and be satisfied with such small results. We should be thankful, but not satisfied. This is one of the reasons some churches keep growing and others stop or eventually decline. We must all continue to work hard to reach and touch people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The key to accomplishing this goal is for each member to minister in every day life.
I want to challenge every member including children and teenagers to reach 2 people between now and November 2008. Each member should pray for them, invite them, and when they trust Christ help disciple them and assimilate them into the church. It is not enough to bring someone to church one time, we must make a continued effort to minister to them. If you will do your part God will bless TBC incredibly!
To those of you who are not yet members of TBC please consider following through and connecting yourself with this great church. There is a special connection between the membership in a local church enabled by the Spirit of God. We love you and are glad you have chosen to participate in our worship services, why not become a part of the family?!
