Follow Become Center Love: The Vision of First Baptist Church of Laurel - Tapa blanda

On September 22, 2013 the First Baptist Church of Laurel, Maryland launched a new vision for the next decade. The church has a rich history of proclaiming the name of Jesus and ministering in His name for more than 120 years in Laurel. God wants to continue His work through FBCL. Laurel and the surrounding area has changed a lot over the last century and our region is one of the most culturally diverse regions in our nation. Being placed in the Baltimore-Washington corridor is a significant characteristic of our church and over the last ten years we have seen the church grow exponentially in its international makeup. A Vision Team was convened and worked for two years to prayerfully discern where God might be leading FBCL. They affirm that God is leading our church to Follow Jesus, Become like Jesus, Center on Jesus, and Love like Jesus (FBCL). This mission and vision will steer the direction of the church for the next ten years. This book study is intended to give you a Biblical foundation for that mission and vision. As you study this both individually and in groups, be aware that God not only wants you to have knowledge of the vision but He wants you to participate in it. What is presented is not philosophical concepts of what the church is about - they are action plans that need to be implemented.
