Church-Planting Cohort to Begin
Are you a church planter who would like to connect with colleagues for prayer, training, problem solving, and brainstorming? Are you a pastor who would like to learn more about church planting? The GARBC is facilitating an online forum for you! John Greening, GARBC national representative, and Scott Greening, a church planter with Baptist Church Planters, will be hosting a monthly series of interactive sessions to encourage and strengthen church planters beginning Feb. 9. E-mail John Greening & Scott Greening to learn more or sign up.

Ready for an Upswing?
The beginning of the new year signals a time to analyze the successes and shortcomings of the previous year and to get a fresh start. Economic times have been challenging for many churches, resulting in unmet budgets and the necessity of making tough financial decisions. The GARBC can help as you look to get your church’s house in order for 2012 and work toward meeting your new budget. The GARBC offers financial consultation to churches within the association. Receiving assistance in the process of analyzing your expenditures and budgets can pave the way for your ministry’s continuation for years to come. Contact Michael Nolan, 888.588.1600, ext. 853, and get 2012 started on the right foot!
