New Church Development Ministry Team Report Andy Cooke and Warren Combs, Co-Chairs
The New Church Development Ministry Team met at the Presbyterian Student Center on March 6, 2015.
In 2014, we concentrated on developing a shared sense of ministry for New Church Development across Northeast Georgia Presbytery. Going forward, we are going to concentrate on supplementing grants from 1001 New Worshipping Communities. “Seed Grants” from the denomination are worth $7500. The year after a Seed Grant is received, new worshipping communities can apply for a $25,000 “Investment Grant.” After that, application can be made for a $25,000 “Growth Grant.” We are working to have this funding for new church development come into our presbytery to start new worshipping communities. We believe that the best way to help new worshipping communities in our presbytery to receive this funding would be to incentivize their applications for Seed Grants with additional funds and a deadline.
At our March 6 meeting, we decided to send a packet with a letter, brochures, and the booklet "Starting New Worshiping Communities: A Process of Discernment" (77 pages, published by 1001 New Worshiping Communities) to the pastors of Cleveland, Clarkesville, Cornelia, and Nacoochee with a formal invitation to form a committee and begin the work of starting a new worshiping community in their area. We will also offer them a $2500 grant if they apply for the 1001NWC seed grant by the Sept. 16 deadline, send a copy of that application to us, and actually receive the grant. We will also sent the same packet to the pastors of Reid Memorial, St. Andrew, and Covenant Augusta with the same offer, but for the Oct. 14 deadline and with the invitation to consider starting a new worshiping community in Columbia County.
In addition, we decided to send a resolution to the next presbytery meeting that would send all unencumbered assets from the sale of properties to the New Ministry Development Superfund. The wording of this resolution was to be created in consultation with the Transitional General Presbyter, Presbytery Bookkeeper, Stated Clerk, and the Chair of BFIT. After consultation, it was concluded that we should table this discussion about a resolution until the presbytery moves further through the current transition.
