11. How can I help?

    We want to honor the Lord in all things, so our first response would be through your prayers. First and foremost, pray for God’s leading in every aspect of this effort, and especially for the elders and pastors as they sense and follow God’s leading. Secondly, pray for everyone at RBC to recognize the need for us to relocate in terms of expansion in the scope and extent of ministry. Finally, commit to give sacrificially -- for God’s kingdom, and for the ministry at RBC -- not just in this time and place, but for future generations to be blessed by RBC’s ministry and outreach.

    This is a very generous congregation, and we anticipate that some of you may wish to contribute goods or services – perhaps through your own company, or through a company for which you work. If you wish to do so, we welcome your contribution. We have project managers helping us with oversight of this complex undertaking, and they will assist us in determining how best to use such gifts of materials or service. The commitment cards will have a place where you can indicate your willingness to make your talents and skills available.

1. Relocation has been “low key” for the past few years. Why the delay and why does the leadership think that now is the time to move ahead?

2. Other than increased size and fewer worship services, what significant changes will occur in the scope and kind of ministries our church will do in the new, relocated facility?

3. Why relocate and grow larger rather than multiply and plant other churches?

4. Doesn’t the move to Dulles go against God’s raising up of this church to be a witness and ministry to the Reston area?

5. What will become of the current church property? Will some element of ministry of Reston Bible Church remain on the property?

6. How will the next effort to raise awareness and funds be different from the last time? What lessons were learned and what mistakes will be avoided?

7. What will be the approach in challenging the congregation regarding giving?

8. What will be our posture towards debt and what about the position that debt is bad, unscriptural, or “just not for RBC”?

9. What about Mike retiring?

10. What will be the sequence of what the congregation will see and hear over the next few months?
