To meet the five key standards of stewardship excellence listed below, will your church take the challenge to be a Five Star Stewardship church? LEADERSHIP COVENANTThe leadership covenant gives the pastor the opportunity to publicly express his commitment to the importance of biblical stewardship.

MINISTRY FOCUSED BUDGETA ministry focused budget ensures that the appropriate amount of the church’s budget is going to support the Great Commission and the ministries of the local church.

HIGH QUALITY FINANCIAL PRACTICESHigh quality financial practices provide the church with the accountability and protection necessary to build and maintain confidence in a members’ willingness to give.

MULTI-YEAR STEWARDSHIP PLANA multi-year stewardship plan creates the structure and foundation needed to build a culture of stewardship within the church.

PLANNED GIVING MINISTRYA planned giving ministry expands member’s opportunities to be good stewards with all of their assets.

nFive revitalization principles every church needs to experience:

• A fresh, biblically based vision from the Lord• A restored unity of the people• Mobilization of the membership to do the will of the Lord• A renewed commitment to outreach and evangelism• Life-giving empowerment by the Holy Spirit

In order to see these things become realities, we provide help for pastors, every member and the church as a whole.

God can make any church come alive, but its people must turn to the Lord and experience revitalization God’s way.Whether a church needs just a few minor changes or a total make-over, there’s a place for every church in the SBTC five-track approach.

THE RENEWAL TRACK The Renewal Track is for churches which have slowed in their growth or become stagnant and need a spiritual boost.

THE REVITALIZATION TRACK The Revitalization Track is designed for churches which have stalled on a plateau or have experienced some decline. It is particularly suited to churches that want to make changes one project at a time.

THE RE-ENGINEERING TRACK The Re-engineeringTrack is for churches which have experienced substantial decline or are

in need of a “total makeover.” The focus of the systems-oriented approach will be to get the church healthy and functional again.

THE RE-STARTING TRACK For churches “near death,” the Re-starting Track offers the hope of beginning again as mission of a sponsoring congregation.

THE NETWORK TRACK The Network Track is for churches developing church revitalization ministries and/or partnering to revitalize other churches.

THE SBTC HAS THREE CORE VALUES:• Biblically Based• Kingdom Focused• Missionally Driven

The Cooperative Program is this Missionally Driven core value…

It’s a daunting task to reach the world with the gospel, yet that is what we are called to do (Matt. 28.19-20). Individually, it’s overwhelming; but together, the possibilities are endless. When you give to the Lord, you join millions of other Southern Baptists in fulfi lling the Great Commission of taking the good news of Jesus to a world in need of a Savior.

If “two are better than one” (Eccl. 4.9), how much better are more than 40,000 Southern Baptist churches across the United States? With a global population topping 7 billion and a commission to share the gospel everywhere, we must enhance our cooperative efforts if we are going to fulfi ll Christ’s command.

Pastors

When a pastor leaves, a time of transition in the life of the church begins. Many churches need transitional pastors with experience and ministry gifts that ensure

high-quality leadership. Transitional pastors are prepared to lead churches through any type of transition.

Some of the skills a transitional pastor needs are: spiritual discernment, leadership, pastoral

care, proclamation, relationships and conflict management. The average time without a

pastor in a Baptist church is 9-18 months. Transitional pastors must commit to

remaining with the church until it calls a permanent pastor.

The Forge events are designed to meet the growing needs of pastors today. These informal events are not merely information-driven, but are meant to capture hearts, foster authentic dialogue and connect pastors to lifetime friends.

Forge events are for young pastors and all who desire to see young pastors succeed. Even the “young at heart” can attend. Much like B21 and 9 marks, Forge will connect young pastors to each other through prayer and encouragement. Community, relationships and fellowship are key elements of Forge.
