The purpose of this project was to help Evanston Avenue Baptist Church gain a new sense of direction, by clarifying its biblical priorities and developing a strategy to carry out those priorities, utilizing the resources of the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. The leadership team studied Matthew 28:19-20 and devised a Great Commission Purpose Statement, and then studied New Testament functions of the church and developed a Church Mission Statement to carry out the Great Commission Statement. Through a study of biblical priorities, it became apparent that the church was imbalanced particularly in the areas of evangelism and discipleship training for ministry, so two key programs were begun in these areas. Finally, through examining principles of church governance, a congregational-elders form of government was devised to wed church structure to the new mission statement so as to carry it out in actual ministry.
