The Reason for Ignite



What are we doing?
We are providing a clear path for sustaining, growing, and expanding our church’s ability to impact the world with the gospel!


Why are we doing this?
Because millions of people in the world have never heard the gospel! We have a burden that begins with the glory of God and is fueled by our compassion for the lost, the broken, and the hopeless. People in our community and the world need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Why us?
God has greatly blessed the historical commitment to being on mission that embodies Whitesburg Baptist Church. As a result, we have been blessed greatly with people, resources, and opportunities. Believing Luke 12:48 “from everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more,” we better understand Paul’s statement in Romans 1:14, “I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.”

Why now?
God has given us a wonderful season of unity and clarity concerning our church’s mission and vision. The challenges, needs, and desperation in culture cry out for hope and answers. We are not deaf; we hear the cry, and we believe we have the answer in the gospel of Jesus Christ.


Our vision is to ignite a movement of authentic followers of Christ by reaching 1000 people with the gospel and releasing 200 equipped leaders from the next generation for Church leadership by 2028.

 

Discipleship



Bible Reading Plans Header

As a disciple-making church, one of our priorities is to give you resources to use along your journey. One mark of a disciple is spending time in God’s Word. One of the best ways to do that is to develop the habit of being in God’s Word on a daily basis. Our Bible reading plans run from January - December, but you can start at any time. In the next 5 years, our goal is to have 1,200 individuals committed to a Bible Reading plan. 

Current Bible Reading Plan



Life Groups Header

Life Groups are ongoing small groups that are open to everyone. Life Groups meet weekly on Sunday mornings for the purpose of finding biblical community, studying God's Word, and forgoing meaningful relationships. Our goal in the next 5 years is to begin launching 10 new Life Groups per year. 

Find My Life Group



Discipleship Groups Header

A D-Group is a gender-specific, closed group of 3-5 believers who meet weekly for 6-12 months for accelerated spiritual transformation. Each group meets for approximately one hour each week to pray together, read and study Scripture, and walk through accountability questions.  We want to have 150 discipleship groups meeting in the next 5 years.

Serve



I Serve

The statement "I SERVE" means that every member is called to edify the church by using their God-given talents to build up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12). We are committed to helping people find the place that God is calling them to serve at Whitesburg. In the next 5 years, we want to see 75% of Life Group members serving in a church ministry. 

Find My Place to Serve



As I Go

We are a going people.  Every day, Whitesburg members go to work, go to the gym, go to lunch, go to ballgames, go to practice, go to meetings, go to the hair salon, and on and on we go.  What if our reason for going was actually something greater than what we imagined?  What if we lived like every place we are going was an opportunity to share the grace and truth of the gospel with our world? We want to reach 1,000 people with the gospel in the next 5 years.

As I Go Resources



Go Teams are short-term mission opportunities for our church members. These teams are committed to sharing the gospel, praying for the work, encouraging mission partners, and serving. While Go Teams are short (typically a week or less); bring enthusiasm, energy, and encouragement; and create opportunities for gospel impact. We want to see at least 75% of Life Group members serving on a Go Team in the next 5 years. 

Current Go Team Opportunities

 

Leadership


The Leadership Pipeline is a process in which Pastoral staff and experienced church leaders will guide participants through a Christ-centered leadership development process. Whitesburg Baptist Church will train and equip leaders from the next generation into church leadership: roles that serve the church and help oversee others serving, such as deacons, committee members, and team leaders. The leadership pipeline at Whitesburg Baptist Church will provide a meaningful way to identify, nurture, equip, and release the next generation into church leadership. We desire to train and release 200 equipped church leaders in 5 years.
