What is the heart behind “Fellowship Unleashed”?
After a decade of ministry, we are poised to
influence our world, beginning with our own community, like never
before. God is prompting us to collectively embrace our shared vision
of “connected lives, connecting lives” and to passionately, creatively
and intentionally engage the needs of our world with genuine spiritual
life.
What changes should we expect?
Any changes we make will be in complete
alignment with our present mission and values. Our leadership team is
actively evaluating our current equipping and outreach strategies, as
well as our facilities. Our commitment is to maximize our influence
while preserving our identity as biblically-based, Spirit-led community
of faith called by God live out the Great Commandment and the Great
Commission.
What does this mean for the Fellowship family?
All of us (leadership included) will have
opportunity to prayerfully explore where and how we might generously
bring to bear the unique time, talents and treasure entrusted to us by
our generous God for the fulfillment of our mission. As always, we are
assuming that every person who calls Fellowship Bible Church home has a
special part to play in our worshiping community of influence.
What difference will a new facility make?
While our present facilities are an amazing
provision we have enjoyed for several years, they will eventually be
inadequate to support our efforts to influence what continues to be one
of the fastest growing areas in Tennessee. We are quickly approaching
the limits of our present facilities in terms of parking, varied
ministry space, accessibility and visibility. A new facility will
optimize our long-term ability to effectively reach and serve
Rutherford County and beyond.
What’s next?
You can expect a variety of opportunities in the coming months to
dialogue with leadership about our future. You can also expect
increased communication from leadership in several formats. Your
questions and comments are encouraged as we navigate the path ahead.
Our elders will be readily available to discuss ongoing initiatives
with you as you have need.
