Minutes March 9, 2025

Meeting with Tommy Williams

Started with “A prayer for Forest Park 2025”

Reviewed previous meeting.

Tommy said his role is to preset alteratives and options.

Naming alternative pathways:

(Consider how each alternative would play out)

Status quo

-Decline

-Run out of money

-Losing people

Change in place (right here but decide to do things very differently)

-Growth

-Different programs

-Change is uncomfortable

-Modernize buildings

-New people in space

-Insurance

-Effect on current members

-Play nice in the sandbox

-Worship may look different

-Partnerships

Relocation

Merger

-Larger church

-Comparable church

-Negotiated

-Right spirit

-Does it further the kingdom?

Closure

-Any church can have an expiration date

-Same as status quo

Will meet again
