Since I started as Pastor of the Ogunquit Baptist Church on May 1st of 2007, I have heard one overarching goal expressed from the congregation: We need to bring young families into the church! Over the course of the intervening years, we have made significant efforts to reach out to children, youth and their families but have seen only minimal success.
In our conversations as a congregation and in strategy planning with the leadership boards, we have identified a number of issues that we recognize continue to put us at a disadvantage in this goal:
- The traffic
- The demographics of Ogunquit
- The seasonal nature of Ogunquit
- Lack of Parking
These issues have proven to be not so easily overcome. With these issues and our goal of adding young families to our congregation in mind, I’m asking if you would answer these short survey questions. Their intent, I think, will be obvious. Your input will help guide my thinking and our leadership boards’ deliberations as we consider new ways to be effective for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Ogunquit area. The survey is also available on our website
www.ogunquitbaptistchurch.org. You can also return your answers by mail to the church’s PO box or by email.
Thank you for your time and effort!
In Christ,
Pastor Jeff
