A Note from the Pastor
In
an effort to take our discipleship
at Fort Pierce Church to a new
level, we have started a number of
new outreach and “inreach”
ministries. Our newest inreach
ministry has been to revamp our
church membership class into a
membership and discipleship course.
Using the church board and Small
Group teachers as the catalyst, our
first session had 51 attendees. The
course itself is divided into four
parts. Much like college
prerequisites, one cannot
participate in any of the courses
without taking the one previous.
Each course has its own separate
theme: 101, The Church Member; 201,
The Member’s Maturity; 301, The
Member’s Ministry; and 401, The
Member’s Mission. 101 will be coming
up again on May 31st and 201 will be
offered on July 12th. Check the
online calendar for the times.
God seems to be bringing forth a new
generation of followers at FPC. My
wife, Sharon Joy and I recently
celebrated our 11th anniversary in
Fort Pierce and noticed that nearly
seventy-five percent of the
congregation wasn’t in attendance
when we first began. Currently, the
average age of the congregation is
approximately 44 years old. This
tells me that God is training up new
hearts to build His kingdom. Even in
the midst of a world made up of
economic tension and unknowingness,
God is still on His throne and I
remain excited to see what He has in
mind for both our current members
and our new faces as well.
I’ll be looking for you Sunday!
Love,
