Fellowship Family Meeting

Elder Mike Thomas hosted the meeting, which included worship time, a Preaching Team update where Mark Carey announced his plans to remove himself from the FBC payroll but "continue the race." A Financial Update was given by John Van Drunen and Bob Hess, followed by an update on "The Next Chapter." Elder Jason Robertson explained why a vote was taken now and explained the voting process. The other elders gathered and prayed, and a Q&A session with the elders followed. Elder Marlin Beitzel prayed and called for a vote on whether the FBC church members would allow the elder board to incur debt in order to initiate the plans presented through "The Next Chapter." A vote was taken, the ballots were collected, and while they were being counted, and update on Church Life was given, covering FBC's new database. The results of the vote were announced, with the 2/3rds majority being easily met. Tim LeMay closed the meeting with a prayer.
