Administration Meeting Minutes - April 2, 2016

Attendees:
Dan Thurman, Tim Scott, Jackie Eby

Next Meeting:
Saturday, July 2, 8:00 AM

Purpose of Administration Meeting:

Developing leaders that follow through with excellence in all of the five fold ministries as we coordinate body wide activities and serve each other as unto the Lord

• Discipleship
• Evangelism
• Worship
• Service
• Fellowship

Specific Topics discussed this month:

Discipleship
Get plugged into the body by joining one of the following small groups!

• Sunday - Youth Group
• Monday - Men's Prayer Group
• Tuesday - Donna Marie's Prayer Group
• Wednesday - River of Life Group
• Thursday - Redeemed Group
• Thursday - Wilson Group

Fellowship 
In April, we will be attending the Rend Collective concert at Immanual, the Women will be having a celebration at the church to review their book study, and the men will be heading to Hardin for a men's retreat.  We hope you can plug in to one of these opportunities.

Evangelism
There is continued interest in what we have going on in the community on the Third Thursday. As we reach the maximum number of people served last year, we are shifting toward going deeper this year. One example is Fifth Third Bank sending a representative to teach a "Financial Checkup" class on the Third Thursday in June.

To support the adults meeting in the building for the class, our body will need to lead some activities with the children in June.

Service
We will be starting our third class for the 24/7 Dad program with the Fayette County Fatherhood Initiative. If you haven't taken the opportunity to serve with these men that want to become better Dads, then please talk to Kevin Eby about what you might be able to contribute.

Growth

Finances 
We will be making some investments in the infrastructure that serves all three church bodies this summer. Our savings and our giving allow for this to happen without any financial campaigns or loans.

• New roof and removal of the yellow leaking steeple
• New HVAC for Sanctuary
• New carpet cleaner
• New baptistry heater
• New Praise and Worship Video Equipment

Building and Grounds
We have a new lawn care service that can also do some landscaping and mulching and trimming that should free Dan Thurman up a bit and allow for the grounds to look better for all three bodies. With a new roof and elimination of the yellow patched up steeple, and the lighting that was installed last year we have really given the community a more welcome place to gather and commune and experience a sense of synagogue.
