FBC is hosting Part Two of our congregational Leadership & Vision Workshop (the initial workshop took place last October). Mark Nishan and Geoff Abbott from the SEC College of Leadership Development are returning to facilitate our exploration of shared Christian values which will inform the Vision and Mission of our Church, as well as work we will do as a congregation.
The workshop is set for Saturday, June 3rd, from 10am to 3pm in Fellowship Hall. Refreshments and a light lunch will be served.
Remember – these workshops are not just for “official” church leaders. ALL who call First Baptist their church home, who care about how we align our works with God’s dreams for us, are invited to attend:
If you attended the first workshop, please plan to participate! We need your continuity.
If you could not attend last fall for any reason, please plan to participate! We need your ideas.
If you are new to the FBC congregation, please plan to participate! We need to get to know one another and learn together.
