7 Year Vision
Meadows Baptist.
Seven Years
Easter 2022 – Easter 2029
focused, intentional, consistent effort; 2,555 days; 364 Sundays
Six continents of strategic engagement with our IMB and NAMB missionaries as we partner relationally, financially and spiritually to spread the gospel, make disciples, plant churches and empower local and indigenous peoples in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Europe and Australia.
Six
Continents
Five ethnicities
will be intentionally and strategically valued, pursued, discipled and empowered to grow and lead Meadows into the future. Though not limited to these ethnicities, these five will be the tip of the spear of our growing ethnic diversity: Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic and White.
Four hundred people .
400 People will be our on-campus, in-person, weekly attendance gathering goal.
Three
Million Dollars
of ministry facility expansion and renovation. We need renovations in the worship center and Atrium and we need another multi-purpose, large space area that can accommodate meals, recreation and teaching/celebration gatherings. Our next building will be the first time we exceed the ministry square footage space we had at our previous location in 2001.
Two Satellite ministry sites
Two Satellite ministry campuses will be developed. Priority attention will be given to the resident community of downtown Plano and the residents of Inspiration village in East Parker.
One Rebranding
A rebranding of our biblical identity, ethnic diversity and spiritual unity as “Church on the Meadows.” While the effort to effectively represent and project our true identity to the surrounding community is ongoing and the daily responsibility of every member of Meadows, the rebranding of our community name would be a significant step. This fresh branding will resonate with our surrounding community in several ways.
It honors and preserves our 60-year history as a church under the banner of “Meadows.”
It highlights a valued and unique dimension of our geographical footprint of having 27 acres, many of which are natural and undeveloped. It emphasizes our Meadows DNA that focuses on Christ and the Scriptures much more than denominational designation.
It emphasizes our Meadows DNA that focuses on Christ and the Scriptures much more than denominational designation.
It removes a biased obstacle for outsiders who may attach misconceptions to a denominational designation.
It conveys a vision of creativity and freshness to our church family as well as to the surrounding community.
It will not change our core values, our functioning principles or our Southern Baptist identity and partnerships.
Zero Regrets
Zero regrets in living for Christ and for eternity! Jesus’ return is imminent; Meadows has been entrusted with much; our greatest days could be ahead if we are committed, united, focused and empowered!
