Going Places with God:

A 31-Day Devotional Guide for Churches Considering Relocation

Special edition for First Baptist Church, Tallasee, Alabama

from the introduction:

So Your Church is Discussing Relocation?

Relocation is a big decision for a congregation. As they used to say in weddings, it is not to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly, but soberly and discreetly. This step should be taken only when it is clearly the best strategy, at the leading of the Holy Spirit.

The relocation question involves some of your deepest held doctrinal beliefs — in particular, the doctrine of the church. What do you believe about the nature and mission of the church?

Your answer to the relocation question may also reveal your level of spiritual commitment. The key question is: would you be willing to support relocation if you knew God wanted it? These are spiritual issues that need to be thought through and prayed through.

You would not be reading this if you did not love your church. However, be warned: this booklet will speak firmly to you and your fellow church members concerning ministry and mission. The strong wording is intended to overcome the defenses we put up to protect our feelings concerning the church we love so much. God bless you as you enter the presence of God, and study relocation together with Him.
