“byFaith asks three veteran pastors about their reactions: Dr. Michael Ross, the Rev. Joseph V. Novenson, and the Rev. A. Randy Nabors”

Last month, the PCA Administrative Committee (AC) approved the “PCA Strategic Plan.”

The Plan was produced by the Cooperative Ministries Committee (CMC), which is comprised of the coordinators and presidents of PCA agencies and committees, and the past six moderators of the General Assembly.

Citing slowed growth within the denomination and a shifting cultural landscape, the CMC hopes to create a roadmap to future cohesion and growth within the PCA. Since the Plan’s publication a number of questions have been raised and several comments have come forward.

In the second of a four-part series, byFaith asks three veteran pastors about their reactions: Dr. Michael Ross, senior pastor of Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church in Matthews, N.C.; the Rev. Joseph V. Novenson, senior teaching pastor at Lookout Mountain (Tenn.) Presbyterian Church; and the Rev. A. Randy Nabors, senior pastor of New City Fellowship in Chattanooga, Tenn. All three men see the Strategic Plan as a promising step for addressing the pivotal issues facing the denomination.

“We’re at the stage in our maturity as a denomination where we need to figure out where we are going and how we’re going to get there,” Ross commented. “I hope the Plan will help to bring some synergy for dealing with the challenges of our culture and our times.”
