2026 Church Outlook 教会展望

Dear Coworkers,

As we approach a new year, we want to share with you the church's direction and vision for 2026. Every initiative is designed to help our brothers and sisters grow in Christ and to equip the church as an effective vessel for the gospel.

Positioning of Worship Services

Different worship gatherings serve different purposes.

We need to clearly define the role of each type of worship service so that every gathering achieves its maximum spiritual impact.

Joint Service: This is a Sunday of celebration where all congregations, including brothers and sisters from the Five Loaves and Two Fish ministry, come together. The focus is on "celebration," bringing the entire church family together to worship, give thanks, and witness what God is doing among us. This is a time for building unity and encouraging one another.

Regular Worship Services: These are primarily for believers who have already accepted Christ. The preaching focuses on reviving believers' spiritual lives, helping them go deeper and grow more mature in their faith. Key characteristics include:

Deeper messages targeting believers' spiritual lives
Emphasis on repentance, renewal, dedication, and holy living
Encouraging believers to rekindle their passion for God

Spiritual Outcome: Joint service builds church unity and belonging; regular worship services cultivate believers' lives, continually renewing and challenging brothers and sisters to live lives worthy of their calling.

Shepherding Through Administration

Administrative service is not just about handling tasks; it's a place for discipleship.

When brothers and sisters participate in a project or take on a serving role, they learn commitment, collaboration, and problem-solving. They also see how God works in the church. Through administrative service, we want more people to discover their gifts, take on responsibility, and experience spiritual growth through serving.

Spiritual Outcome: Developing responsible, committed disciples and making service a process of life transformation.

Administrative Reports and Sunday Announcements

The church is the body of Christ, and every member needs to understand the overall needs and direction.

Once a month during the joint service, we will share an administrative report so brothers and sisters understand the church's needs, challenges, and direction. For other Sunday worship services, we will also invite A-team members or pastors to make announcements, guiding congregations to pay attention to the development of church ministries and special needs. This arrangement helps brothers and sisters not just hear information, but also sense the heart of church leadership and share in the mission together.

Spiritual Outcome: Building a transparent, unified church culture where brothers and sisters walk alongside the church and actively engage in its development.

Adding Glass-Enclosed Rooms in the Main Hall

Young families are a blessing to the church, and we want them to worship without worry.

We plan to add two glass-enclosed rooms with natural light in the main hall. This will allow parents with young children to participate in worship while moving in and out freely without worrying about disturbing others. These spaces can also serve as additional activity rooms during other times, such as Five Loaves and Two Fish.

Spiritual Outcome: Helping young families feel accepted and supported so they can continue to take root and grow in the faith community.

Administration as Infrastructure for Ministry and Congregations

Let coworkers focus on what matters most: shepherding and sharing the gospel.

The role of church administration is to provide solid "infrastructure" for ministries and congregations, handling logistics, processes, and resources. When this foundation is stable, coworkers don't need to worry about administrative matters and can focus on expanding ministry and church planting.

Spiritual Outcome: Freeing up coworkers' time and energy so they can focus on life-on-life shepherding.

Cantonese Outreach Pilot Program

The gospel must reach different languages and different communities.

We plan to initially borrow Circle Drive Alliance's gym for Cantonese outreach activities through sports and games, once or twice a month, sponsored by the district. This is an experimental initiative aimed at reaching non-believing Cantonese speakers, building relationships, and sharing the gospel.

Spiritual Outcome: Expanding the church's gospel reach to new communities and winning people for the Lord.

France Short-Term Mission

Short-term missions are not just about serving; they're about being shaped by God.

We plan to build a core team and gradually expand the France short-term mission. Through service experiences abroad, participants' horizons are broadened, their faith is challenged, and their lives are renewed.

Spiritual Outcome: Developing disciples with a heart for missions and making the church a sending church.

Building a Spiritual Godparent Community

Life needs companionship; growth needs role models.

We want to establish a mature community of spiritual godparents, where spiritually mature brothers and sisters walk alongside new believers or those who are growing in their faith. This one-on-one or small group relationship provides personalized care, guidance, and prayer support.

Spiritual Outcome: Building a culture of life-to-life legacy where every generation of believers has someone to walk with them and guide them.

Developing Future Church Leaders

The church's future depends on today's equipping.

Through monthly theological training on the fourth Tuesday of each month, we systematically develop future church leaders. Our vision is for each congregation to have 3-4 bi-vocational pastors who witness for Christ in their workplace while also carrying shepherding responsibilities in the church.

Spiritual Outcome: Building a sustainable leadership development system so the church has enough workers to harvest the fields.

Let us pray together for 2026, asking God to guide every step as we walk in His will.

In Christ,

Church Administration Team

亲爱的同工们，

新的一年即将来临，我们想与大家分享教会2026年的发展方向和异象。每一个计划背后，都是为了让弟兄姐妹在基督里成长，让教会成为更有效的福音器皿。

崇拜的定位

不同的崇拜，承载不同的使命。
我们需要清晰定位两种崇拜的角色，让每一次聚集都能达到最大的属灵果效。

联合崇拜：这是各堂会包括参与五饼二鱼的弟兄姐妹一同欢庆的主日。联合崇拜的重点是"庆祝"，让整个教会家庭聚在一起，一同敬拜、一同感恩、一同见证神在我们中间的作为。这是建立合一、彼此激励的时刻。

平日崇拜：主要对象是已经信主的基督徒。讲道着重复兴信徒的灵命，帮助信徒在信仰上更深入、更成熟。内容特点包括：

信息比较深入，针对信徒的属灵生命
着重悔改、更新、奉献、圣洁生活
鼓励信徒重新点燃对神的热心

属灵果效：联合崇拜建立教会的合一和归属感；平日崇拜则深耕信徒的生命，让弟兄姐妹不断被更新、被挑战，活出与蒙召的恩相称的生活。

透过行政来牧养
行政服事不只是处理事务，更是门徒训练的场所。
当弟兄姐妹参与一个项目或承担服事岗位，他们学习委身、合作、解决问题，也看见神如何在教会中工作。我们希望透过行政服事，让更多人发掘恩赐、承担责任，在服事中经历属灵生命的成长。
属灵果效：培育有责任感、愿意委身的门徒，让服事成为生命塑造的过程。

行政报告与主日宣布
教会是基督的身体，每个肢体都需要了解整体的需要和方向。
每月一次在联合崇拜中进行行政报告，让弟兄姐妹明白教会的需要、挑战和发展方向。其他主日崇拜，我们也会邀请行政同工或牧者负责宣布事项，引导会众关注教会事工的发展和特别需要。这样的安排让弟兄姐妹不只是听到资讯，更能感受到教会领袖的心，一同承担使命。
属灵果效：建立透明、合一的教会文化，让弟兄姐妹与教会同行，关心并参与教会的发展。

大堂增设透光玻璃小房间
年轻家庭是教会的祝福，我们要让他们能安心敬拜。
计划在大堂增设两个透光玻璃小房间，让有年幼孩子的家长可以参与崇拜，进出自如，不必担心打扰他人。这些空间在其他时间（如五饼二鱼）也可作为额外活动空间。
属灵果效：让年轻家庭感受到被接纳和支持，能够持续在信仰群体中扎根成长。

行政作为事工的基础设施
让同工专注于最重要的事，就是牧养和传福音。
教会行政的角色是为事工和各堂提供稳固的"基础设施"，处理后勤、流程、资源等事务。当这些基础稳固，同工们就无需挂心行政，可以专心拓展事工和植堂。
属灵果效：释放同工的时间和精力，让他们能专注于生命影响生命的牧养工作。

粤语外展实验计划
福音要传到不同语言、不同群体。
初步计划借用Circle Drive Alliance的gym，透过运动和游戏进行粤语外展活动，每月1-2次，由区会赞助。这是一个实验性的尝试，目标是接触未信的粤语群体，建立关系，分享福音。
属灵果效：拓展教会的福音触角，接触新的群体，为主得人。

法国短宣
短宣不只是去服事，更是被神塑造。
我们计划建立核心团队，逐步拓展法国短宣事工。透过在异地服事的经历，参与者的眼界被扩阔，信心被挑战，生命被更新。
属灵果效：培育有宣教心志的门徒，让教会成为差传的教会。

建立属灵代父母群体
生命需要陪伴，成长需要榜样。
我们希望建立成熟的属灵代父母群体，让属灵上较成熟的弟兄姐妹陪伴初信者或正在成长中的信徒。这种一对一或小组的关系，能提供个人化的关怀、指导和祷告支持。
属灵果效：建立生命传承的文化，让每一代信徒都有人陪伴、有人引导。

培育未来教会领袖
教会的未来在于今天的装备。
透过每月第四个周二的神学装备学习，我们有系统地培育未来的教会领袖。我们的异象是将来每个堂会有3-4位带职传道人，他们除了在职场中见证基督，同时在教会中承担牧养责任。
属灵果效：建立可持续的领袖培育系统，让教会有足够的工人收割庄稼。

让我们一起为2026年祷告，求神带领每一步，让我们在祂的心意中前行。

主内，
行政同工会
