Mission Statement

A congregation is well advised to compose for itself a Mission Statement

which will serve as a direction finder and keeper as they travel together

toward God’s destiny for them. It is not a confession of faith, nor a complete

doctrinal statement, but something like the cloud and the fire which went

ahead of God’s people in the wilderness.

With deliberate, prayerful intent, the congregation was invited on a Saturday

morning to draft such a statement for Knightdale Baptist Church. The

following is the statement which was composed by those who were led to

gather for that purpose. The date was July 24, 2011.

The Mission of Knightdale Baptist Church, as a loving, unified body, is to

worship God and share Christ through various Christian ministries, teaching,

service, prayer and fellowship.

As my Clary clan in South Carolina used to say, “Anybody with one eye and

half sense can plainly see that the mission statement does not describe us as

having already arrived.” We hope it describes us as what we shall be when we

have “arrived.” Consequently, as we travel toward our destiny it will be useful

to keep us on track. Churches and Christians inevitably find themselves off

track, off task, off mission. A judicious use of a short mission statement helps

put us back on track.

As we make our plans to pursue various ministries, teach disciples, meet the

needs of those who suffer, we need to look to the mission statement and be

sure the plans move us toward what God is calling us to be.

The development of a local church mission statement is essential for its

health. A sense of mission focuses on an awareness of direction, purpose, and

reason for being. The mission of the church becomes the standard of

measurement for all activity.

Any organization needs a clear mission to be effective. A church mission

statement must have a theological dimension. Theology is a study of God’s

activity. God is the source of the church’s existence. The church, therefore,

exists to relate to and express God’s activity in today’s world, as well as to

interpret God’s presence in the past. God’s living presence, the Holy Spirit, is

at work expressing the activity of God in today’s world.

The development of a local church mission statement is essentially an answer

to the question, What is the meaning of being in Christian ministry right here

and right now. Maintaining a

current mission statement is an

ongoing, never-ending

theological activity of the local

church.

― Charles Dorman

copied from a book entitled

Management for Your Church,

which outlines a process for

developing a Mission statement.

Opportunities!

thought on my part. The main

purpose for my request was to give

the church the OPPORTUNITY to hire

a part-time minister of youth. The

other purpose for this request was to

allow me to explore other part-time

vocational/educational

OPPORTUNITIES. Second, and more

importantly, the church voted to

begin the process of seeking and

hiring a part-time minister of youth.

OPPORTUNITY! I am excited for our

youth and their families! I also hope

you will join me in thanking all the

dedicated youth leader volunteers

who have skillfully and lovingly

guided the youth ministry for over

seven years. The new youth minister

will truly be blessed to minister with

Nido Qubein, popular motivational

speaker, author, successful business

man and current president of my

alma mater, High Point University,

once said, “CHANGE BRINGS

OPPORTUNITIES.” For many, change

is filled with anxiety and fear. For

others, it represents an

OPPORTUNITY for growth. At the

church business conference this past

Sunday evening, the church

expressed a desire for growth

OPPORTUNITIES on two specific

motions: First, a motion was made

by the personnel committee, at my

request, that my full-time position

be reduced to a twenty-five hour per

week part-time position. This

request came after much prayer and

such an outstanding group of

dedicated volunteers.

My new part-time position begins

August 26th

and will include the

duties of minister of worship and

assisting the new pastor in the

development of a comprehensive

family life ministry.

As I mentioned Sunday night, I thank

the Lord for the privilege of serving

each of you and look forward, with

great anticipation, to the

OPPORTUNITIES that God brings to

us.

To God Be the Glory!

Pastor Search Committee Update

investigation in the near future. This will take some time to complete this mission, so continue to be in prayer for our church, the committee and the candidates.

-Philip Humphries

The Pastor Search Committee is making excellent progress in our mission to call a pastor for our church. We received over 150 resumes and after prayerful consideration have narrowed the list and will begin interviews and extensive


Reflections

the gym and as I am writing this I am planning a movie morning for the kids also. It was one of my ideas to have the prayer partners for the youth while they were away in Kentucky, and I thank everyone who helped me with that project. I was not able to go visiting as much as I had thought I would so I came up with a way to reach out to our friends who are in the hospital or are shut-in and cannot make it. I sent cards to almost everyone on the shut-in list and prayer concerns lists at least once. I also met a lot of interesting people who came asking for help. It broke my heart a few times when we were not able to help a few that came to the door because of funding

Most of y’all probably know that I was working at the church this summer. I was working as a CBF sponsored intern. The program is mainly for students who are interested in a career in ministry. I was not interested in doing this internship to start a journey of going into the ministry, but instead I wanted to learn more of the behind the scenes. I wanted to learn everything it takes to plan a worship service, I wanted to interact and meet people that come into the office off the street wanting help, and I also wanted to learn more about the church. I was able to do many things this summer that I would have never gotten the chance to experience. I had different activities for the children such as a game time in

or that I couldn’t help because I was the only one in the office sometimes. I learned that there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff that I had no idea about in ministry. It takes a lot of preparation by Dr. Dorman, Hal, and Patty for us to have a worship service on Sundays, a Bible study on Wednesdays, and all the other programs that take place. I learned a lot this summer but most importantly I learned how to be a better church member by expanding my knowledge of how the church works. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work at the church this summer.

A Service Opportunity

The Properties Committee is in need of crews to paint several rooms before school starts. We usually do this in preparation for Homecoming, but it needs to be done be-fore the preschool children return to their classes. It has been more than ten years since the classrooms were painted.

The committee is trying to get things organized. They suggest that groups such as Sunday School classes, might be easier and more fun. The RA’s have already volunteered. What we need you to do right now is volunteer - groups and/or individuals. If you cannot paint, perhaps you could help buy the paint. This building makes the greatest impact on first time visitors and non-members of any building on our property. We cannot allow it to be less than attractive. It’s time. We are asking persons to sign up now. Give us your name and we will get the work organized. Sign-up sheets will be available in Sunday School classes and the Sanctuary. You may also contact members of the Properties Committee with your offers of help. Call any one of them. They will be encouraged by your support.

Youth Events and Missions

A Back-to-School

Supply Drive A drive, sponsored by the Angelic Ministers, is going on now! Please help with this mission by purchasing school supplies for children in need in our local schools. We need book bags, pencils, pencil cases, wide-ruled notebooks, erasers, scissors, crayons, glue sticks, etc. This is an immediate need - some schools have already started and others will start soon. You can leave your donations in the Conference Room. Thank you for all your support!

Dear KBC Volunteer,

Knightdale Baptist Church has enrolled in Shepherd’s Watch, a program associated with Group Publishing. Many of you may know that our VBS materials come from Group Publishing each year as well as other KBC materials for children and youth. The program is specifically geared toward making church a safe place for children and youth.

Some time ago we began a process to have Background Checks done on all workers who were involved in the children and youth areas of our church. The process was not completed. How-ever, we do have a limited number of Background Checks on file that will not need to be re-peated until August of 2015.

Although others signed Background Check forms, many of those were never completed. Some of our key volunteer workers are in this group. We are beginning a process this week of signing the Shepherd’s Watch Background Check forms so that they can be processed in August. You can pick up a form at the church office, and I will have them available during the Sunday School hour soon. Be sure to complete the front and back of the forms.

Once 100% of our workers have had a completed and clean check, we will be able to post a cer-tificate in the children’s area attesting to this safety feature of our ministry. We need to make KBC a safe place in this world for our children to be nurtured and cared for each week.

Thank you for your participation in this process.

Sincerely, Terry Johnson Sunday School Director, KBC
