Strategic Plan 2023

Strategic Plan Outline for 2023

Preparations for the plan's implementation are ongoing in 2022 as Ken Floyd completes his final year as the MARBC Ministry Director.  Implementation of this plan will begin in January 2023 as Doug Crawford, currently lead pastor of West Cannon Baptist Church and MARBC Director of Strategic Advancement, assumes the role as the next MARBC Ministry Director. 

The 2021 MARBC Annual Conference held in October 2021 featured a thorough presentation and discussion of the MARBC's strategic ministry plan moving forward.  Messages from this conference which communicate this plan are included below this section and on the Conference webpage. 
​

A MARBC ministry team is being formed that will work with Doug Crawford beginning in 2023.  This "Leadership Oversight Team" will provide a specific ministry focus to assist MARBC churches and pastors in area of critical need.  The Leadership Oversight Team will consist of currently serving MARBC pastors who are willing to devote an average 4-6 hours per week to oversee these ministry priorities.  The four areas of emphasis are:
  • Leadership Development
  • Church Growth
  • Church Fellowship
  • Communications

The four areas of oversight are highlighted in more detail in the column below.
