Conversations Continue!
While both churches have made public announcements regarding a potential future union, at this time we would prefer to keep the spread of relevant information in-house and would ask that you refrain from reposting announcements. Thanks!
We wanted to update you on how things are progressing in our conversation with First Baptist Church of Cayce. About 8 weeks ago we were approached by them about the potential for our two churches to join together in order to be better equipped for the mission of proclaiming the gospel and making disciples in our city.
Their congregation voted as to whether or not they wanted to begin having serious conversations about us joining together. In some ways it was like they were getting permission for us to date. Well, yesterday their members voted that they would like to continue talking with us. We knew they might not even be willing to keep talking to us, but they are. We're excited to see what God may have in store for us. It's still very early. So we are cautious and moving slowly, but we should be as excited as you can be on a first date. Could be fun. Might be nothing. But, you never know.
In the coming weeks, we will continue to talk with them about how a potential union between our two church families would look. Please be praying for wisdom and grace, and that the Lord's will be done as we consider this.
