Operation Jumpstart - Church Growth Weekends

Sponsored by the Pastor/Leadership Development Department of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board and the Baptist Convention of Maryland and Delaware.

Purpose:

To jumpstart some dead/plateaued churches; to bring excitement to a church’s ministry; to bring focus to a church’s vision; and to provide training to key leaders so the church can be healthier and grow; to provide direct involvement in MS/MD-DE Partnership.

A weekend participant agrees to pay his/her own way. Six to seven hundred dollars ($600-700) covers a round-trip ticket (or personal auto travel), lodging, meals and miscellaneous. Weekend participants arrive on Thursday evening for the Friday orientation (9 a.m.) at their state office. From Friday evening to Sunday morning you will be at a church assigned by Wayne Harris. A state convention worker or director of missions from the MD-DE Convention will serve as your team leader. Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon flights, and stay at the nearby Hampton Inn. If you participate, you will be given the needed materials and be expected to attend the Weekend Orientations at the Baptist Building.
