초록/해제: 요약 : This purpose of this ministry project is to create a shared vision of ministerial accountability at Fountain Baptist Church in Summit, New Jersey that will guide, promote, and sustain operational excellence in ministry.

초록/해제: 요약 : The foundational Scripture which informs this project is Luke 12:48b, "For whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." The "Parable of the Faithful Steward" in Luke 12:35-48 provides the primary frame of reference for a series of Leadership Development training sessions for ministry leaders. The project is grounded in biblical principles and seeks to further develop ministry leaders by clarifying the common goal of ministry at Fountain Baptist Church, gaining a mutual understanding of the strategic contribution of each area of ministry, appreciating the value of teamwork, realizing the power of a shared vision, providing a model for congregational development and finally, leaving a legacy of Christian stewardship.

초록/해제: 요약 : The ultimate measure of success is creating a shared vision of ministerial accountability and embracing it as a code of behavior that compels participants to be models for ministry through a renewed appreciation for the transforming power of Scripture. The project provided a training experience that produced a commitment to spiritual disciplines that sustain growth and has spiritual maturity as the goal.

초록/해제: 요약 : The "Declaration of Commitment" statement that was agreed upon is visionary, but it is also operational at its core. In the statement, leaders and members of the church are committing to practice a set of disciplines daily based on this corporate guide for spiritual formation and growth. The list of imperatives is aligned with the key elements of the church: study, worship, and service. Feedback from Leadership Development sessions and findings from the REVEAL congregational survey validate the pre-project assumption that the needs and expectations of the congregants are consistent with the Master's plan for the church. The statement of a shared vision for ministerial accountability is an informed expression of dedication by the leadership and congregation; and it will serve as the cornerstone of the commitment to operational excellence in ministry at Fountain Baptist Church.
