Ministry Plan 2022-23

A LETTER FROM THE ELDERS

Another year of putting Jesus on display, and we couldn’t have done it without you! By God's grace, every ministry has expanded since last year and we anticipate further expansion in the year ahead. People are taking next steps in their life with Jesus by joining Community Groups and Bible studies while also serving regularly in our church and city. Stories have been shared, and lives changed through equipping ministries like Re|engage and Re:generation. Over 5,000 celebrated the death and resurrection of Jesus during Easter weekend! Since last year, pastors throughout the Upstate have stepped into leadership development and ministry collaboration through the Upstate Church Collective. Track one of training has been highly successful, and we'll launch track two this January.

The goal of our church is to join God where he’s already working while striving to be a community of grace that’s passionately pursuing life and mission with him. We remain committed to inviting and equipping you to be apprentices of Jesus by living out discipleship rhythms in your spheres of influence. We cannot thank you enough for generously serving, giving, and joining in on God’s work here. We look forward to all of the upcoming ministry opportunities at Fellowship Greenville.

Grace and peace,

The Elders of Fellowship Greenville

Putting Jesus on display in 2022-2023

Each summer, we update our ministry plan to coincide with our fiscal year, which runs from July 1 - June 30. We believe this plan represents the ways God is leading us to join him in his plans for this church. 

Our vision is to see God transform us into a community of grace, passionately pursuing life and mission with Jesus. Putting Jesus on Display is our ministry plan for 2022-2023 that exists to strategically budget, organize, raise and spend resources in a way that points people to Jesus and the life he offers. As you're pursuing life with Jesus, life in community, and life on mission, we believe the following plan reflects our heart for Jesus and the work he's doing in the Upstate.

OUR STRATEGY

As we strive to live out our Core Values in our circles of influence, we view the Christian life as a triangle (seen above). This triangle speaks to our relationship with Jesus and with one other as we love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength while loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.

We model this life in the triangle after Mark 3:13-14.

"And he went up on the mountain and called to him those whom he desired, and they came to him. And he appointed twelve (whom he also named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them out to preach."

OUR PROPOSED PLAN

This year's budget is 4.91% over the projected budget for last year, and we're rejoicing in the fact that we were able to meet the presented budget last year. This modest increase in next year's budget is mostly due to the rising cost of growing ministry in a world of inflation. Our plan for ministry is fully reliant on Jesus, and we look forward to serving with you in the coming year while prayerfully putting Jesus on display.
