Nourishing and Cherishing the Flock of God
Considerations for Pastoral Care
Regional Leadership Meeting – Smyrna Delaware
January 25
The nurture and care of the local church is one of the greatest privileges one can have and one of the finest investments one can make. What could be more important than the nurture and care of the only institution God promised to “build” (Matt 16:18)? What could be more significant than to strengthen the “pillar and support of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15)? What could be more far reaching than to promote the mouthpiece for the gospel (Mark 16:15)? What could be more worthwhile than to give oneself to that people for whom blood was shed? For God proved the worth of the church when he shed the blood of His beloved Son for her (Acts 20:28).
Purpose
These Regional Leadership Meetings are designed to bring together church leaders in various regions, for the purpose of mutual encouragement, prayer, vision casting, discipleship and instruction. We will be answering the question, “what kind of pastoral care and equipping do we need be bringing to our churches?
We believe that those who are leading family integrated churches are involved in one of the greatest revivals of biblical church and family life in American history.
Vision
We hope to be a blessing to church leaders and assist them in their pastoral leadership and care for the flocks God has placed them with. We will be considering what the Bible says about pastoral care in the local church in view of the fact that many churches are being planted and transformed. We are part of a growing movement of church planting and traditional church transformations regarding church practices and family life. Currently there are over 600 churches identifying with the NCFIC, indicating some level of agreement with the principles we are communicating.
Who is invited
Pastors, elders, deacons, or those who desire these offices. We do not wish to restrict family members from attending with the fathers, but do realize that sensitive pastoral issues will be discussed.
Format
There will be an all day meeting with three presentations, two from Scott Brown and another from Dan Horn. In addition we will provide time for personal conversation, prayer and group discussion.
