Wisdom for our
Church Preservation Planning
The Deacon Board unanimously recommends to the FBC-Tempe congregation:
The FBC-Tempe Deacon Board seeks approval from the FBC-Tempe congregation (by voting ballot), on Sunday, June 21, to approve that the Deacon Board, Finance Committee and Church Staff enter a “due diligence consulting phase” to further explore the many aspects related to Church Preservation Planning “CPP”. This vote will be taken upon returning to our normal Sunday Services and programming.
1. This “due diligence consulting phase” is with Attorney Robert Brown from the Church and Ministry Law Group at Schmitt Schneck Casey Even & Williams Law Firm.
2. A “Yes” vote by the FBC-Tempe congregation gives permission for education, discovery and evaluation of the legal aspects and related recommendations to CPP not the implementation of CPP.
3. After the “due diligence consulting phase” has been concluded if the CPP is acceptable to the Deacon Board the next step is a required second vote, in the future, for the consideration by the FBC-Tempe congregation to legally implement CPP.
4. All expenses related to the discovery and implementation of CPP will be paid for by a private family in the church as a designated donation not through the General Fund budget. No conflict of interest exists related to this designated donation.
If you have any questions or wisdom related to CPP please feel free to contact Pastor Roger or any member of the Deacon Board or Finance Committee.
Deacon Board Members are: Scott Blum, Robin Shakal, James Dorsett, Tom Barnhart, Reisenauer, Jim Farrington, Josiah Bender, Adam Bachman, Aaron Will, David Brinn, Rafael Salgado, Les Kinney and Jimmy Gradis.
Finance Committee Members are: Dale Zobel, Tom Barnhart, Gary Maack, Teri Shakal, Sandra Clavell, Don Halver, Deeann Griebel, Kent Reisenauer and Rassamy Keoduangta

Due to all of the above the Finance Committee and Deacon Board are currently evaluation the benefits of a legal Church Preservation Plan by creating a separate nonprofit government approved 501(C)3 to protect church assets against major lawsuits. More information on this will be presented to the congregation. If the CPP is needed this will require a vote by the entire congregation to approve. See Pastor Roger for more information and share your wisdom and questions.
Online Zoom
Bible Study Series – “Defending
the Faith”
Have you ever wondered as to how one can explain the doctrine of the Trinity from
scripture? What about proving the divinity of Christ from the Old Testament? Did you know that you can even use genealogy to discuss the need for a Savior and share the Gospel?
All of these topics will be addressed by Al Fadi during this upcoming short online Bible study series, via Zoom, starting on Thursday, June 18, at 7:00 pm. The following are the scheduled topics:
• Thursday, June 18 – “How to Share the Gospel from Genealogy”
• Thursday, June 25 – A Brief Lesson on “How to Explain the Trinity from Scripture”
• Thursday, July 2 – A Brief Lesson on “Proving the Deity of Christ in the Old Testament”
The intent behind these short lessons is to serve as a teaser. A more in-depth Bible study on these topics and other related ones will be conducted in the Fall.

(16) They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (17) Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. (18) As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (19) For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. (20) “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; (21) that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may

(19) If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. (20) Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. (21) But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. (22) If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. (23) He who hates Me hates My Father also. (24) If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. (25) But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘THEY HATED ME
WITHOUT A CAUSE.’
