Planning for the Future

Hey Canby Christian Family,

Proverbs 11:14 tells us, “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors, there is safety.” We as church leaders take seriously our calling to steward the resources God has given us and to faithfully “shepherd the flock of God that is among [us], exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have [us]…” (I Peter 5:2). But we always appreciate getting the insight of fellow members of our church, like yourself, who are at various stages of life and have a diversity of experiences and opinions.

With that in mind, we have selected you to participate in a focus group (for lack of a better term) to help us hear some constructive thoughts about how, by God’s grace, Canby Christian Church is doing now, and where you think we should be focusing our gospel ministry into the future. This will be helpful feedback as we are preparing our budget for the next fiscal year and trying to discern what God is calling us to do in the coming years.

We are asking that you prayerfully and thoughtfully participate in this important process which consists of completing the short questionnaire below, then meeting with us on Monday evening June 20th from 6:30 pm until about 8 pm at the church to discuss all of your thoughts. Once we hear your insights, the leadership team will present some of our thoughts and allow time for a Q&A. Childcare will be very limited or not offered at all, so it would be best to find childcare that evening for those of you with children. We would appreciate thorough responses. They don’t have to be long, but please try to answer as constructively as possible.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call or email me at, (951)396-0060 or robertm@canbychristian.org.
