SEED TO OAKS 09 Step Nine: Present Your Findings Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. -1 Corinthians 15:58 42
COMMUNITY STUDIES MANUAL Who to Present Your Findings to: To Your Pastors When sharing your findings with your church pastors and leaders, schedule a 90-minute meeting. Consider emailing or delivering the study in advance to make the meeting more efficient. Debriefing the study with your pastors and leaders will accomplish several things: o It will allow for opportunity to inform your pastor’s vision as you share your experience and findings within the community. o It will give you an opportunity to be the “voice of those in the community” as you answer the questions your church leaders ask. o It will provide an opportunity for the leaders to process together what it means to be a church in your community. o It will provide an opportunity for your church leaders to make gospel connections, create next steps, and pray more pointedly for the community and the church. Before leaving the meeting, you will want to ask the group: 1. Where do you see God already at work? 2. What are the community’s greatest needs? 3. What can we as the local church do to meet those needs? To Your Church When sharing your findings with your church body, consider approaching smaller key groups such as community or small groups, Sunday school classes, ministry teams, or other smaller sections of your church body. These smaller groups will give you more opportunity to gauge reactions and greater potential to influence and learn from the discussion. Allow the group to read the document and give them time to discuss the questions in the back. An ideal next step is to identify church members who live inside of your defined area. Consider hosting a lunch with your pastor and these church members to get input and cast vision for your future relationship within the neighborhood. 43
