an Interview with Bob Church
Administrative Pastor of Sagebrush
Sagebrush Community Church is a growing fellowship in Albuquerque, NM that is committed to having a greater impact in the world. Sixteen:Fifteen was asked to come in and take the Sagebrush leadership through the 3D (Discover, Design and Deploy) to help them become more strategically focused driven by a God-birthed missions vision for their church. We asked Bob Church, their administrative pastor, to share with us what God has been doing in global missions this past year.
Q. A lot has been happening in global missions at Sagebrush. How would you describe the changes that have taken place in the last 12 months?
A. The changes here have been simply amazing. We have had over 1300 people sign up to be involved in some way shape or form in our missions program. We have already sent a team to the Navajo reservation to begin work out there and we are sending teams to Portland Oregon and Juarez Mexico in June. Our people have wrapped their arms around this vision. We have added a huge missions wall in our foyer to keep our vision in front of our people.
Q. You had a vision casting weekend recently, what was the response of the body to your new missions vision?
A. The response has been overwhelming. As I said, over 1300 people have shown interest to get involved.
Q. What role did Sixteen:Fifteen play in this new missions vision?
A. Sixteen fifteen was crucial in our formulation of this vision. They helped us to achieve a laser focus and now our people can run with the vision. Our objectives are clear, not muddied. The laser approach helps us to know what to say yes to and what to say no to… Sixteen Fifteen was the catalyst for this vision.
