BAGNO Sets its Sights on 2020 Vision

During our annual spring meeting, the elected representatives of our churches voted to move forward with a very bold new strategy for completely restructuring our association. The strategy, entitled 2020 Vision, is designed to give BAGNO greater relevance within the metro area while bringing it to the forefront of the recovery effort. 202o Vision has five specific goals for attaining its purpose; visionary leadership, maintaining community relevance, church planting, associational restructure/reorganization, and strengthen existing churches as mission centers. As the vision statement states, "By the year 2020, we envision BAGNO as a dynamic beacon of hope for the community as we focus the love of Christ to the hearts of area residents and people groups on a daily basis." This is an exciting opportunity to lay the groundwork for what can become a model for local church/association ministry and cooperation. I've said all along that God is doing amazing things in the New Orleans area and this is just one very important piece of the puzzle. Commit to praying for this effort as we take a bold step towards seeing the Greater New Orleans area reconciled to God through Christ.
