“The plans of the heart belong to man,

but the answer of the tongue is

from the Lord.”

Proverbs 16:1

What you hold in your hands is an explanation of our hearts’

desires for how we hope to serve our Savior Jesus Christ in thefuture. We understand that the Lord may change any or all of theseplans. We also understand that the Lord may return soon and noneof these plans may come to pass. However, if the Lord prolongs His

coming and if the answer from the Lord’s mouth is “Yes”, then we

will use this document as a road map to guide us for future ministry.We certainly wish to express thanks to each person from ourcongregation who participated in the planning process. Many of our members completed survey forms, participated inbrainstorming sessions, and diligently worked on this project.If you are new to our church family, we hope this documentwill give you a taste of what Alfred Almond Bible Church is all aboutand where we desire to go in the future. Our hope is to have theopportunity to fulfill some of these dreams together with you!If you have been a part of our family for a while now, weanticipate a wonderful time of serving our Lord together with you.We trust that all of us would commit ourselves afresh to servingGod together faithfully in the upcoming years or until Christ calls ushome.Joyfully serving God together,
