Sending-church daughtering discussion questions Nov 16 2008
As God grants growth approaching the 500 number, our
response should be to work towards resourcing, equipping and sending a group from
FGMB to daughter a new congregation. While the process of daughtering a new
congregation can be challenging, we believe it can be a life-giving process, and one
that is faithful to the church’s universal mission. As we begin the church-daughtering
process, we should employ the best practices of other congregations who have
experience in this process. For instance, we should set aside financial resources to
aid the new congregation in their transition to independence, and hire new pastoral
staff that would eventually lead the new congregation, allowing for pastoral
continuity in the “home” church.
