DOM Search Committee Update

The search committee has met twice now.  The first time was a training session with Dr. Charles Drummond.  At this meeting the following officers were elected to serve:  Phillip Winsett-Chairman, Ron McMillian-V. Chairman, Philip Hedgecoth-Secretary, and Jerry Owens-Resume Coordinator.  We sincerely covet your prayers as we endeavor to seek out God's man for our association.

Please note that we need and encourage your input during this process.  We will have two listening sessions with church leaders.

1. Monday, February 6, 10:30 a.m. at Pine Hill Baptist Church.
2. Monday, February 6, 6:30 p.m. at The Baptist Center.

Please look over the survey below.  Come prepared with your concerns and, if you would, please write them out so we will have a copy.

SURVEY - The Augusta Association of Baptist Churches is searching for a new Director of Missions.  The Search committee requests your input on the survey below.  We want to describe our association to prospective candidates, and we need your honest assessments of where our association is and where it needs to be going.  Please know that all responses are confidential.  A good representation of churches responding to this survey will help to ensure a more accurate picture of the association.  Thank you for participating in this process.

1. What is your personal assessment of the strengths of the association?
2. Please list the three most critical needs that must be addressed by the association in the near future.
3. Are there new ministry/mission projects or general changes that must occur within our association over the next three to five years?
4. What is your personal assessment of the weaknesses of the association?
5. Would you be willing to provide time and leadership to assist the association to serve more effectively?

Please return your survey responses to Phil Winsett, by February 6th. Mail them to Phillip Winsett, 3632 Lynnwood Drive, Martinez, GA  30907, or email to pwinsett@knology.net.  Thank you for your continues prayers and support.

Does your church need a ministry project?

I have been contacted by "Developmental Disabilities Ministries."  They have two homes here in the Augusta area. The Pedigo and Drew Homes for women.  Both homes are in need of assistance in several areas.

The churches in the West Augusta Coalition, that worked together on "Love Acts" projects, have agreed to adopt the Pedigo Home for women.  They will work to help meet the needs of that home.  The second home is the Drew Home for women; both homes have a need for perishables.  If your church is looking for a ministry project please call the Association office and we will give you contact information and a list of the needs.
