2024-2025 Annual Membership Ballot
Dear Ada Bible Church family,
What a privilege to write to you for the first time as Senior Pastor of Ada Bible Church!
It’s my joy to lead our church and continue the work Pastor Jeff Manion has faithfully led for 40 years. I’m especially grateful Pastor Jeff is sticking around in a Teaching Pastor role.
Our mission is to lead people into a relationship with God and his church that transforms them to Christlikeness. Our mission has not changed! On behalf of our staff and board, thank you for consistently serving and giving to this work. God’s faithfulness through you allows Ada Bible Church to remain healthy and growing, and I am grateful for you.
God continues to do amazing things at Ada Bible Church, and I am excited for the future. Please review the attached Elder and Deacon Ballot and proposed budget. The budget reflects a modest expansion of approximately 3% over the previous year to account for inflation and a cost-of-living increase for our staff. The budget also reflects a continued focus on two areas:
- Growth, with funds allocated toward the North Satellite and other potential satellites.
- Strengthening churches both internationally and locally through our Missions program.
I ask for your continued prayers for me, our staff, and our board as we begin the 2024-25 ministry year. You may not realize this, but while we have 150 staff there are over 3,000 volunteers at Ada Bible Church and much of our ministry is done by faithful volunteers like you. As we start our next ministry year, please prayerfully consider where God is leading you to serve as we recognize that God has created us, called us, and gifted us for his service.
It’s an honor to serve as your Senior Pastor.
In Christ,
Aaron Buer
Senior Pastor
