Nourishing and Cherishing the Flock of God
Considerations for Pastoral Care
Regional Leadership Meeting 2008 – Steilacoom
October 17. 2008
These Regional Leadership Meetings are designed to bring together church leaders 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?
Vision
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. Today there is a growing movement of church plants and traditional church transformations regarding family life. Currently there are over 600 churches identifying with the NCFIC, indicating some level of agreement with the principles we are communicating.
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.
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.
Purpose
To gather leaders of family integrated churches together for mutual encouragement, prayer, fellowship and teaching.
Format
Vision Forum will provide three presentations, two from Scott Brown and another from a second speaker. In addition we will provide time for personal conversation, prayer and group discussion.
