Finding Identity in Christ at Fireside Baptist Church in Elizabethtown, Kentucky

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This ministry project was designed to equip the congregation of Fireside Baptist Church in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, to counter cultural idols. The purpose of equipping was to help the congregation find their identity in Christ. Chapter 1 explains the context, rationale, purpose, goals, and methodology of the project. Chapter 2 describes the biblical and theological concept of idolatry based on exegesis of Romans 1:18-32; 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; and 1 Corinthians 10:1-22. Chapter 3 reviews the historical development of the concept of identity while providing a Christian framework by which to understand it. Chapter 4 describes the implementation of the ministry project from conception to analysis of statistical results. Chapter 5 presents an assessment of the purpose, goals, strengths, and weaknesses of the project. It concludes with personal and theological reflections and suggested changes.
