  1. The Power of One Plan “How We Will Rebuild Our Church…” Presented by Minister Joe Faxio April 2012 Bishop Eddie L. Long, Sr. Pastor New Birth Missionary Baptist Church

  2. Our Old Model of Church • It was largely built on the name of our Pastor • Only “certain people” reached the lost • Only “certain people” made disciples • Only “certain people” were discipled • The majority of Church ministry was done only at the Church building • We expected people to come and check us out New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One

  3. Our Old Model Was Flawed • Led to the burn out of people (80/20) • The majority of people never completed the work of the ministry. • It left cracks - people may or may not experience spiritual growth. • People took on an “us vs. them” mentality when it came to ministry. • Pastors were overburdened and pressured because they carried too much weight. • Church survival was highly contingent upon the Pastor.

  4. What The New Model Will Look Like • The responsibility to evangelize and make disciples will be placed on the 80% (Members). The 20%(Ministry Officers) will equip and encourage the Members. • The majority of the work of the ministry will be done by members in their own neighborhoods and communities. • Everyone will be discipled while discipling others New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One

  5. Benefits Of The New Model • We will always be growing because we will always be evangelizing. • Everyone who is an active member of our church should experience spiritual growth. • The work load of ministry will be spread more evenly among the congregation and improve the overall quality of life for our members. • No one will fall between the cracks because everyone will be accounted and cared for. • Our Pastor and staff will no longer be overstretched and can focus on fewer higher impact activities.

  6. How The New Process Will Work

  7. Seven Step Process • Pre-encounter • Encounter • Post encounter • Leadership School • Biblical Studies • Entrepreneurship & Prophetic Training • Public Administration New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One

  8. Things To Know About The “Pre-Encounter” • 7 week process • Delivered via House of Peace or Life Groups • Covers some of the fundamentals of the faith including deliverance, faith, confessions, healing & blessings. • Involves three books New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One

  9. Things To Know About The “Encounter and Post Encounter” • Covers more of the fundamentals of the faith including water baptism and baptism of the Holy Spirit. • Starts with a three day weekend. • Concludes with a four hour* session the week following the Encounter.

  10. Things To Know About The “Leadership School” • 6 weeks in length • The goal is to prepare disciples to go and make more disciples • Covers such topics as small group facilitation, evangelism and leadership basics New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – The Power of One

  11. What Will Change As a Result of This Process….. • We will become a church of small groups (everyone will have a 12 and be in a 12). • Everyone will have the opportunity to build a network (their group of disciples). • Once a network reaches 100, that leader will become a Pastor and possibly come on staff. • Evangelism and Discipleship will not be ministries but part of our church culture. • Our new members processes will change.
