Legacy 2030

Legacy 2030 is First Baptist Allen’s vision to boldly follow God’s leading in three key areas: Missions, Media, and Ministries. This is not a five-year plan. It’s a call to action now, with a clear destination: to faithfully pursue this vision and see measurable impact by the beginning of 2030. Rooted in the Great Commission, we aim to pass on a legacy of faith, obedience, and Spirit-led leadership to the next generation.

We’re asking every member to pray, give, and serve as we step forward together for the glory of Christ.

Below are the three key areas we will focus on leading up to the year 2030.

Missions: Reaching People, Near and Far

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” – Acts 1:8

Missions is a deep strength of our church, both locally and globally. From food pantry service to international trips, we want to invite the next generation into the mission of God. Our “y’all come / we go” strategy balances inviting people to us with taking the gospel out into our neighborhoods and the world.

 How We Live the Mission (2030):
• Expand international mission trip opportunities.
• Develop new local outreach events tied to school and city partnerships.
• Celebrate the stories of God's faithfulness through the great commission.

Ways to Participate:
• GO – Join a local or international mission trip.
• GIVE – Support missions financially through your faithful giving.
• INVITE – Help lead or promote outreach in your circles.
• SERVE – Volunteer with our food pantry or partner ministries.

Media: Communicating the gospel clearly—in the room and around the world

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.” – Ecclesiastes 9:10

Our sanctuary’s A/V system hasn’t been updated in over 25 years, and the time has come to invest in quality tools for worship and witness. We believe offering our best to the Lord includes sound, video, lighting, and stage design that enhances—not distracts—from our gatherings and online reach.

Planned Upgrades:
• Full overhaul of A/V (soundboard, speakers, video, wiring, online production).
• Stage and backdrop redesign.
• Expansion of sound booth for visibility and functionality.
• Online streaming enhancements (additional camera, HD upgrades).

We will provide regular updates on the project's progress to keep the church informed and celebrate each milestone.

Ways to Participate:
• GIVE – Use the “Legacy 2030” option in online giving; pray about giving sacrificially or becoming a lead donor.
• PRAY – Ask God to provide generously through His people.
• SHARE – Let others know why this matters and invite them to support.

Ministries: Building Up the Body for Every Generation

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” – Philippians 2:4

God is at work in our ministries. Young and old, men and women, families and singles. But two key areas need immediate attention: growing a young adult ministry and hiring a new music minister. We’re also exploring a residency program for ministry students. We desire to raise future leaders from within.

 Immediate Ministry Focuses:
• Prayerfully pursue God’s choice for our next music minister.
• Restructure staff roles to strengthen discipleship under current leadership.
• Invest in young adults and singles through expanded community, events, and service.
• Develop a ministry residency pipeline with Bible colleges in DFW.

Ways to Participate:
• PRAY – Specifically for music minister hiring and young adult growth.
• SERVE – Plug into a ministry team or mentor a young adult.
• LEAD – Consider becoming part of the young adult leadership.
