CPBA Annual Meeting

ByAdministrator

I am looking forward to this coming Sunday evening on October 10th at 5:30 pm where we will gather at FBC Platte City for the 83rd Clay Platte Baptist Association annual meeting. There we will share a meal together and spend time celebrating what God is doing in our association of churches and looking ahead for what we can accomplish together in the coming year.  God has been doing some amazing things in our churches despite the many challenges we are all facing, and we want to hear and be encouraged by His faithfulness.   We also have a sizable task in our call to make disciples of Jesus in our counties, our country and the throughout the globe. Yet we have a great God who empowers us and unifies us in the work.  I am so thankful for the wonderful network of 40 churches who are partnering for the gospel with the mission of reaching the northland and the nations for Christ. I hope you join us for a great evening together. – Dr. Gary Mathes

  • Shaping Your Values

    Last week I began to address the definition and purpose of values and why describing the values that shape your church is so important.  Values are the shared convictions a church holds to; they are the common heartbeat of a congregation that inform and drive the motivation for its missional and ministry activities. When describing…
