As a church, we desire that each church, congregation, mission and each member of the Presbyterian Church in Belize become actively involved in this plan. GOD HAS GIVEN GIFTS TO BE USED FOR HIS GLORY AND HONOR!
Message from Presbytery
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
We are very pleased to present the A Blueprint for Ministry—the Presbyterian Churches of Belize 2021-2026 Strategic Plan.
This Plan is a five year snapshot of how we, with our Lord’s guidance, see the future of our churches unfolding throughout Belize. It captures the revised mission of our churches, our vision for the future and how we hope to achieve each component of that vision. The Plan summarizes some innovative ideas in the form of goals and strategies. These ideas and commitments will ensure our churches continue to be a growing and vibrant Christian community who love God and are ready to serve others.
​
I thank all of you, but especially the group of very passionate church members who came together in Patchakan in January, 2020 and contributed to this document. This Plan is dedicated to all of you who strive for a flourishing church community.
​
The goals and strategies presented in this document respond to the emerging issues facing the Presbyterian Churches of Belize(PCB). It is evident we have to address these issues if we are to continue to provide Christian communities of grace. Many of the concerns, ideas and strategies discussed in this Plan reflect the concerns and comments expressed by many over the last number of years.
An important part of the Plan will be in its implementation—where the Presbytery and each of the local churches take action to ensure we meet the stated goals. As a Presbytery, we are committed to working with all of you in implementing these targets over the next five years. In fact, we are so committed to realizing this plan that you can expect us to report on our progress and results each year until it is completed. The Presbytery will continually evaluate the success of this plan and regularly update it to ensure relevancy. This document is intended to be a dynamic ‘rolling’ short-term and long-term plan. Where necessary, it will be refreshed with new strategies and initiatives. This will be done with your input. Although the document is an excellent start, we will be looking to improve it over time.
This document stems from the conviction that fostering loving Christian congregations is an obedient response to God’s call to us to equip church members to be effective and faithful servants of God in building His Kingdom. The Presbytery acknowledges the goals of our church as described in our core values are different from the culture we see developing in the society around us. For that reason and many others, providing loving Christian congregations of grace is not always easy, but given our local churches’ faithfulness, the Lord will continue to bless our denomination.
We hope and pray you will participate as an integrated church community in making this Plan a success. If you have any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to talk to one of us or one of the representatives in the Presbytery.
On behalf of the Presbytery,
Your servant in Christ,
Reverend Juan Patt,
