"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law. happy is he." • Proverbs 29:18 FARMINGTON - When Scott Lyerly- came to Farmington Baptist Church three years ago, he saw a mostly elderly congregation holding services in a building that was all but falling in on them. This year, the pastor and his congregation broke ground on a new 12,000 square foot facility that will hold 250 people and a 50-person choir. It's been a rather quick turnaround for the 129-year-old institution. Three years ago. there were about 15 members. "Most of them were old enough to be my grandparents," Lylerly said. The church had no money, and was still suffering from a roof replacement after a tornado in 1988. Those people held the church together, and laid the foundation for the new members that were to come, Lyerly said. Now, there are 140 members with 120 or more attending services every week. They raised SIOO.OOO for the building project in less than a year, and have extended ministries to other states and countries. "So much has happened here over the past three years," Lyerly said. "Me and my wife prayed about, but God was already doing the work before we got here." Lyerly knows that more than 60 percent of the people in this area are "unchurched," meaning they have no church home. They've been welcomed at Farmington Baptist. There's only one rule. You must believe. "I wanted to create a healthy church environment ... where people could come and encounter a real community of ' believers. Farmington is a ' church for unchurched people. . ' But I can't take an unchurched ' person and make them leaders ' • ' "s ' C-'T-f.-.' ^ 5 V'''" n n r si Pastor Scott Lyerly is helping tp build a church of believers at Farmington Baptist. overnight." ' Lyerly said that week after week, new leaders appeared at Farmington, and are responsible for its growth. "God started supplying them. They filtered in," Lyerly said. They know they are being held accountable to God. Lyerly said that if people realize they are being held accountable, they will do the right thing. "It's a Godly fear. We have expectations. We expect people to do what God wants you to do. "God's word is paramoimt. What it says to do, we do. what it says you don't do, you don't do.", Lyerly designs Sunday messages to appeal to everyone. More in-depth Bible studies are held on Wednesday nights. There are IWANA clubs for children, a Celebrate Recovery program on Monday nights, a Bible-based support group for people with all types of addictions. "The Bible has your answers," Lyerly said. The church holds Dave Ramsey Financial Peach University classes to teach people how to live within their means. There is a youth group, and meals are served once a month on Wednesday nights. Services are held at 10 on Sundays, with Sunday School at 9 for empty nesters and at 11 for everyone with kids. When they decided to build, things just fell into place, Lyerly said, from the contractor to the bank, from the land to the soil tests. "I call it sovereignity, and it all happened very quickly. The people here are so excited. They're ready to go." And they're not just building for themselves. They sponsor missionaries. "We are preparing to help plant a church in South Boston in the next two or three years. They need a conservative Biblical voice. "That shows how healthy a church is ... that you're not entirely focusing on yourself." The new building will include office-space and a kitchen, fellowship hall, a baptismal and music space. They hope to occupy the building by the end of the year. They hope to build a new sanctuary in a couple.of years, Lyerly said. Farmington Baptist Church has a vision. "Vision is direction. It comes from God," Lyerly saidi "Vision keeps the church going in the right direction. So many churches don't know whait a core value is ... a fundamental conviction of the heart." The church's vision statement may say it best. "To reach unchurched witht eh good news about Jesus in a non-trheatening way, so that they would make a Godly ipact in this community andin their generation."
