Pastor’s Points

Our Vision, Mission And Strategy At Fort Caroline Baptist Church

Dear Friend,

I thought I would

take a second to

share with you how

your 2014 giving

made an impact

beyond just giving

you an opportunity

to record it for your taxes. If you

haven’t noticed, God’s done some

amazing things. Here are some of the

highlights of those things:

Our Sunday morning attendance

was healthy at an average of 553.

We have room to grow and want

to increase in 2015. We are seeing

a good number of first-time

guests! Thanks for inviting them!

Our LifeGroup participation for

the year was greater than it’s ever

been! We averaged 664 each

week! In addition to an average

record attendance for the year, we

broke a one-day attendance record

on Easter with 803 people in

groups! Thanks to your

generosity, curriculum was

provided for each group in all age

divisions. We are forming new

groups as often as possible so

people can experience Christian

community.

During 2014, we completed our

children’s department upstairs and

themed it like a beach boardwalk.

The children LOVE it! We also

remodeled the Welcome Center

for the preschoolers, the student

department, the Celebrate

Recovery space, and the

fellowship hall and kitchen. Your

giving to the building fund in

addition to your general offerings

made this possible and continues

to help us pay down our mortgage

of approximately $500,000!

We baptized 37 new believers,

and had 38 other additions! Pray

we will reach many more in 2015!

Our “missions” budget constitutes

12% of our budget. This does not

include the additional amount our

members contribute for special

offerings and mission trips. You

gave $199,948 to missions

through the church! We are in the

top 45 missions-giving churches

among the 3,000 churches of the

Florida Baptist Convention.

Leading all of our ministries are

some gifted folks. Some of them

are unpaid, some of them are

underpaid, none of them are

overpaid, some are part-time,

some are full-time, and most are

over-time. Your giving helps

support these dedicated and godly

staff and ministry leaders, which

in-turn helps equip the church to

do the work of Christ!

All of this, and so much more, has

been made possible through the

generosity of people like you!

Thank you,

Ricky Powell,

Senior Pastor

We now have an online giving option available for mission trip donations on our e-giving website. You can login to your

e-giving account to make a donation. If you don’t have an account, one can be created or you may login as a guest. (It costs the

church less in fees to create an account for giving than to donate as a guest.)

Mission trip donations need to be done as separate transactions from regular online tithes and giving because a copy of the

receipt will need to be forwarded to the team leader or team trip financial coordinator (NOT Lori Gray) for accurate

recordkeeping.

LifeGroup Series

Everyone loves a good story. Even if you hate reading,

you probably don’t mind movies, TV shows, or a great

musical. There is just something about a story, a good

story that we can’t resist. When we were little, all the

great ones started with “Once upon a time”. They were

tales of heroes and villains, evil queens, noble princes,

and fairy godmothers. And while the characters in our

favorite stories look different now, not much else has

changed. We still love to see the good guy win, the bad

guy lose, and the couple live happily ever after. Maybe

it’s because, no matter how old you are, great stories have

the power to pull you in and make you feel like you’re a

part of them. Jesus knew that and He often told stories,

called parables, that worked the same way. His stories

may not have involved princesses or evil villains, but as

we take a look at four of these famous parables we may

just find that the characters look more familiar than we

could have ever imagined. March 8 - 29
