Church consultancy weekend
We are holding a Church Consultancy this coming weekend, to look at our church and our future direction. We will be assisted by Neil Young and Olive Drane of the Baptist Union of Scotland, who will help us to think through the issues of being a city centre church in the 21st century.
Jack Quinn says:
When Neil Young and Olive Drane come to AP in their capacity as Baptist Union consultants we will be opening ourselves up for an in depth analysis that we haven’t engaged in for some time.
This is always an exciting moment, a defining moment, in a church’s life. What treasured “sacred cows” might be challenged? What new concepts will we be encouraged to look at as a city centre church endeavouring to remain in the city, and remain relevant to the city centre community which we have chosen to continue to relate to?
On Friday the core leaders will be looking at the information that Neil has already gleaned for our benefit and on Saturday morning together with others from the congregation we will be teasing out this information before in due time coming to some conclusion about our next steps forward.
