Crofton Park Baptist Church Big Day In Brings Members Together for Reflection and Innovation

During the brainstorming sessions, participants proposed various ideas to realise the vision for the church. Suggestions included the introduction of fasting and prayer sessions to deepen spiritual practices, fostering increased youth participation through dedicated programs and events, and the establishment of Bible study groups to encourage deeper engagement with scripture. There were also other suggestions to reach out to the community by having “Bubble Church” or Church Open Days. One other aspect discussed was greater emphasis on pastoral care, visiting those who can’t make it in to church and taking communion to them.

Feedback from event attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing enthusiasm for the proposed ideas. One participant commented, “I feel excitement for the future of Crofton Park Baptist Church. The focus on spiritual growth, youth involvement, and strengthening our knowledge of the Bible will help us become a beacon of light in our community.”

In addition to discussions and brainstorming sessions, the Church Big Day In event showcased historical documents and photographs that offered a glimpse into the rich legacy of Crofton Park Baptist Church. Attendees were inspired by the minutes of meetings from a century ago, which highlighted the dedication and vision of their predecessors. Furthermore, blueprints for the redevelopment of the church buildings ignited excitement as attendees could see that the vision of the past was still aligned to the vision we hold of the future. Showing God has a plan for Crofton Park Baptist Church that hasn’t changed.

As the event concluded, attendees were encouraged to pick up resource sheets available at the church. These sheets sought to help individuals identify their gifts so they could volunteer their time and talents to the right areas in the church.

This would allow those who were unable to attend the event to explore and engage in these activities on their own.

Crofton Park Baptist Church remains committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community through our mission to “Build Bridges, Build Disciples and Build Community“. The success of the Church Big Day In event has set the stage for transformative changes and renewed spiritual growth. The congregation extends an open invitation to all members of the community to join them on this journey, as they strive to make a positive impact and uphold the values that have guided Crofton Park Baptist Church throughout its history.

The focus on spiritual growth, youth involvement, and strengthening our knowledge of the Bible will help us become a beacon of light in our community.
