334 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVE±>JTION<br />

PROPOSED PROGRAM FOR COUNTRY CHURCHES<br />

The following minimum goals were suggested as a working program for<br />

the country church:<br />

1. A pastor living on or near enough the field to render pastoral service.<br />

2. A perennial Sunday school under church control.<br />

3. At least one revival meeting or special evangelistic effort during the year.<br />

4. The best possible use of church property, with proper care of house <strong>and</strong><br />

grounds.<br />

5. A practical plan of church finance which includes the Cooperative Program.<br />

6. A regular weekly prayer service at a time <strong>and</strong> place most suitable.<br />

7. Cooperation in denominational activities including personal representation<br />

at the meeting of the District Association with a report from the church.<br />

8. Enlistment of as many members as possible in service, evangelistic <strong>and</strong><br />

missionary activities.<br />

It is thoroughly understood that these minimum goals do not include all<br />

of the activities <strong>and</strong> services that many of these rural churches need. They<br />

constitute the first step, <strong>and</strong> an enlarged program can be undertaken as leadership<br />

is developed <strong>and</strong> a sympathetic appreciation of an enlarged program is<br />

secured.<br />
