Immanuel Baptist Church, like many Southern Baptist Churches in the USA exists, in their own words to “glorify God by making disciples who live Gospel centered lives through worship, service, and missions in authentic community.” (IbcShawnee.org) As a church, IBC Shawnee lives to fulfill the great commission of Jesus, which is to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy” through their local and global outreach programs (Matt 28: ESV). IBC thrives around a community-centered culture, as many of the activities and events that are planned at the church involve people of all ages, from senior adults to preschoolers.

By doing this, he is able to see a clearer picture of DNOW, and is better able to plan for the event. He makes a checklist of the things that need to be done, and from there he comes up with a game plan as to how he is going to succeed in putting on a youth event. The next thing that he does is cast a vision, which involves reaching out to different host homes that are willing to take students and convincing them to allow teenagers into their house for a night. He also casts the vision to the students so that they understand what DNOW is about and why they should participate. The last part of their planning process is realizing how they are going to reach this goal. Aaron brainstorms with his staff in regards to the different ways that people can reach their goals, and from these ideas they pick a few and run with them. They then go out and execute the plan, coordinating 100-150 students into a few houses for the DNOW …show more content…

The top tier is the Senior Staff, which is voted on by the church body, which is compromised of the Senior Pastor (Todd Fisher), the Senior Associate Pastor (Scott Schooler), Associate Pastor (Mark Wright), Associate Worship Pastor (Jason Henson), and the Minister to College and Singles (Michael Pelter). Todd Fisher, being the Senior Pastor, is the head over the entire operation (the CEO), and everything important runs through him or one of his immediate staff. The second tier is compromised of the Youth Pastor (Jason Peck) and the associate youth pastor, the man I interviewed (Aaron Fullbright). While this works similar to a typical church, the entire staff is allowed to voice their opinions at weekly meetings with one another, as everyone’s opinion is valued in the church. While different people have varying levels of importance, they operate as a close-knit family and work well with one another, creating a fun dynamic that is

Truett Cathy was a very humble man. He remembers to praise God for the advances he makes, and he tries to keep his business simple and friendly. In chapter 1, he speaks on the fact that he wasn’t the Straight A student in school, but that’s not what makes a successful person. He reminds us that common sense and hard work are what makes a person successful and able to accomplish their goals. He recalls his first opportunity, being the Chick-fil-A Sandwich, as a simple concept.

I have involved with music since I was a child, however, the thought of architecture and acoustics never came to mind. When it came to high school I soon realized that there were certain designs and elements that each venue had, but never thought much of it. Until this class I never knew how much went into the design of certain architectural structures such as music venues, offices, apartments, etc. Each structure has certain design elements that make them individually pleasing to the people who interact with them. One place that I found to be interesting in regards to the acoustics in a public venue is my church back home in St. Louis, Missouri.

"My fervent prayer is that we will be able to share our witness in ways that will impact the Bishop 's Commission on the Future of the Church positively and contribute to the advance of God 's Kingdom among the people called Methodists globally," said the Rev. Keith Boyette, pastor of Wilderness Community UM Church in Spotsylvania, Virginia. "Those who choose to participate in this great endeavor will be better positioned I believe to embrace a fruitful future regardless of what ultimately occurs within The United Methodist Church." The WCA was formed in the backdrop of continuing divisions surfacing in UMC over the issue of same-sex marriage. "I am not sure leaders of the church know how serious what 's going on is," Dunnam said.

Upon beginning this assignment, my main issue was finding a historical site worth writing about. I did not want to be stuck with something typical or predictable. I wanted to try and find a site that was of significance to American Politics and to the community that it resided in. I have always held a strong interest in civil rights and the difficulties of the minorities to gain equality in America. I also knew from previous studies that the churches often held a great amount of influence in the progress of the African American people when fighting for that equality.

Also, if you are a southern baptist then you adhere very closely to the bible. If the member is baptised that means they are baptised in that church, but if they go to another southern baptist church maybe not in that particular area then they have to get baptised in that church too. Southern baptists view all people equal under gods eyes, and believe that the man in the family is the leader of the house, and protects the family.

One could confidently say that in 1939, an historic event took place in Methodism. It brought the Methodist Protestant Church (MPC) which was separated from the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) in 1828 over the issue of lay representation at the Conference levels and other issues and the Methodist Episcopal Church, North and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South which were split in 1844 over the issue of slavery. These denominations were reunited forming the Methodist Church, however the road of the reunification was not easy at all. The sad part of the reunion was that blacks are segregated into a separate Central Jurisdiction.

Back then when I was little, Aaron, as an adolescent, always acted with a professional manner, while his parents continuously bragged about his academic achievements. I always thought that it made sense for someone like him to be well rounded at such a young age, since I knew how over the top his parents can be about school. They were those types of parents with the “because I said so” attitude, enforcing their rules through yelling and physical punishment. You could imagine everybody’s surprise when we found out that he ended up piercing his ears and later on getting a tattoo without his parent’s permission. The once courteous young man became involved in many different rebellious activities until one day later on he ran out of money to continue to live in his apartment.

Regarding the impact that others in a meeting have on his decision making process, it is given to understand that he desires to know the heart and the motives behind the individual speaking before moving forward with any suggestions made. His concerns regarding this issue are that motives may be proliferated by traditionalists, resistant to change or by those seeking vain-glory, taking on many forms. In matters of job security, this pastor remains open to serve the Lord where He wants him to serve. As he said, “At the end of the day, God has not called us to be employed, but to be faithful.” Ultimately, this pastor in many ways still seeks to attain “a balanced view on all issues,” desiring to make educated decisions.
