Purpose of Mission Study

In 2007 the Session of Fountain Inn Presbyterian Church (FIPC) prayerfully considered the variuous ideas and concerns that our congregation was communicating.  After careful deliveration, dialogue and research, the Session decided to seek God's direction for our church through the process of a Mission Study.

Dr. John Wilkerson, Director of Church Leadership Coaching and Consulting, located in Waxhaw, NC, was selected to act as a consultatnt for our Mission Study, and he recommened that Session appoint a Mission Study Team (MST) to complete this Mission Study for FIPC.  The MST completed this study with the benefit of Dr. Wilkerson's extensive experience in coaching and consulting for these types of mission studies.

Above all, the purpose of the Mission Study is to allow God to speak through our congregation and its leaders to provide guidance as we seek to glory Him in all we do.
