FROM DR. DAVID SWANSON

A MESSAGE

As I look back on this past year of ministry, the word that comes to mind most often is

J O Y.

MISSIONAL LIVING

God, in His sovereign faithfulness, has restored our church and our ministry to a place of joy as we seek to build His Kingdom through First Presbyterian Church. Throughout the past year, our church has been renewed and refocused through our three primary vision elements. These are the areas we will continue to develop in the next three years, so let me speak to them specifically.

DISCIPLESHIP

This is the heart of what we want our church to be:

a disciple-making church. We want our church to be filled with disciples of Jesus Christ, men and women who are equipped to live as His faithful followers day in and day out. For that reason, when we survey our congregation this fall, we will be asking you baseline questions about your spiritual practice. Our belief is that those who truly follow Christ will be engaged weekly in the following: worship, prayer, personal Bible reading, giving, serving, and taking part in covenant community. We want to be able to measure how that grows over time while learning to understand what tools are the most useful in facilitating that growth. Our Barefoot Church experience will be a great boost to our entire understanding of what personal discipleship really means. 20

Closely related to being a disciple is how we move out into the world to use our gifts in service. It is impossible for a true disciple NOT to do this. Part of my aha moment during my sabbatical was recognizing that our church has been so programmatically driven that we were not actually giving you time to live out your faith in your families and in your communities. We needed to start doing less so that you could be in the world," meeting people, building relationships, and serving those in need. The term living missionally has been used often, and we hope to make that an integral part of who we are. We want to follow the call of Jesus to His disciples in Mark 3. We are to be with him that he might send them out. This is the twofold rhythm of discipleship we come in, we go out into the world. And we do that over and over again.

COVENANT COMMUNITY

The third area of growth for us has been in understanding what it means to be a covenant community. God has made a covenant with us a commitment of love and grace and faithfulness. If we are His people called to live together in community, then we are to have that same sense of covenant commitment with each other. We are not here because of what we get. We are in this com-

munity because we are committed to the Kingdombuilding work of God in this place. As such, we sink down deep relational roots, we deal with conflicts directly, and we do not get blown by the wind because we dont like the drapes or we dont like a decision the Session made. We are investing in this community of faith even as God has invested His life in us. Out of these three things will flow the direction and future of our church, and our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will continue to mold and shape us. As we think about our changing culture and what will unfold in Orlando and this nation in the next ten years, we want to be salt and light, a warm and hopeful place where people can come to find living water. As such, I would like to see us do three things: BECOME DEBT-FREE BY THE END OF 2016. Currently, we owe just short of $4,000,000, primarily from prior building and our departure from the PCUSA. Lets aim to eliminate that and move forward, financially unemcumbered, into a new season of ministry! BECOME MORE ENGAGED IN PERSONAL EVANGELISM, reaching out to those who do not know Christ, such that we see a surge of adult baptisms. Yes, I would like to see us baptize 250 adults in a single year within ten years. GROW THE KINGDOM OF GOD BY PLANTING NEW CHURCHES IN PLACES WHERE CHURCHES DO NOT EXIST. I want us to be one of the leading churches in establishing this effort in the EPC, such that new churches are being formed in locations where the gospel is not being heard, both in this country and beyond.

KENT STERCHI MINISTER OF DISCIPLESHIP

"When considering all the reasons I am excited about my new position as Minister of Discipleship, one stands far above the others: helping develop and implement a plan for what we call life-on-life discipleship. The call of Jesus to 'Go and make disciples' was given to all who profess Christ as Lord, and it is my humble prayer that in the coming years, we are calling and equipping more and more members of our covenant community to become disciple-makers, who will raise up more disciple-makers. I am also excited about working with Bret in the development and implementation of a comprehensive pathway of discipleship, in the hopes we will fulfill the vision of 'making disciples who light their world!' "

BRET ALLEN M I N I S T E R O F F A M I LY L I F E
"I'm excited about my new role as Minister of Family Life because it seems very clearly God-directed. After many months of searching for a new Pastor of Discipleship with no candidates and after the hiring of Kevin Sheehan (new Director of Student Ministries), I was wondering what God had next for me- now I know. God had a plan. I'm also excited because I have the opportunity to work closely with my good friend and brother in Christ, Kent. We have developed a strong friendship and I believe the gifts and talents God has given us will compliment each other. With the renewed emphasis on discipleship, I look forward to being a part of what God is doing here at First Pres and in all our lives."

WE'RE CHANGING THINGS ACROSS THE BOARD TO MAKE OUR CHURCH A MORE WELCOMING PLACE.
This includes taking a hard look at what a guest to our church experiences on Sunday morning and thoughout the week. We're looking at everything from signange and wayfinding, to better accessibility for seniors and handicapped inviduals, to new and ongoing service training for all of our ministry teams. Earlier in the year, our entire staff participated in a team assessment, and later a training on our new "GRACE" service expectations and how they can be implemented in each ministry area. To join the team and share God's grace on Sunday morning, call Lori Needham at 407.423.3441 x1463.
