This Sunday at Fellowship Church we will be commissioning a dozen or so new leaders!

Early in the year, the elders and staff put together a curriculum to prepare these new "leaders-to-be," then appointed mentors to train them in the way they should go.

In the past few months these folks met with each other often, as well as attended regular gatherings of the elders and staff to receive instruction and training. Consequently, they began making a bigger investment in the church to which God has called them.

These people will be the ones that God will use to further the specific ministries of Fellowship Church for the foreseeable future.

One of the things they will be doing is identifying and training new leaders! We expect Fellowship to grow!

But more importantly they will be spearheading our overall goal of taking the gospel message to the 8200 people in our community that statistics tell us either don't know Jesus Christ, or who no longer participate as members in a loving church family.

That's a gargantuan task! 8200 is a God-kind of number! In order to meet that task, these leaders will implement two exciting and necessary strategies.

First, they will do their part to make Fellowship Church a greater presence in the communities where they live and work. They will be present at community events, as well as create community events, and be visible in local gatherings, and take Fellowship groups to local restaurants or businesses. They will make Alachua and High Springs aware of Jesus Christ, and show them that Fellowship Church is one of the many places in our community where they can meet Him!

Secondly, they will guide those people that God adds to our church family, so they can reach a full maturity in their Christian journeys. What this means is that they will encourage and lead Sunday school classes, host small groups in their homes or at church, and individually coach new Christian brothers and sisters!

These are exciting times, so do your part to encourage these new leaders, and let's spur ourselves on to good works (Hebrews 10:24-25)!
