God Sized Opportunities

On Sunday, May 4 we gathered at Dover-Foxcroft to celebrate the God-sized gift of the farm to Spring Hill.  During that time of celebration we baptized 6 individuals, heard compelling testimonies, and gave a celebration offering of more than $12,000!  We also ask people to share their God sized opportunities by filling out commitment cards.  You can read the incredible responses below.  We want everyone to fill out their God sized commitment card.  Please click here to fill yours out.  We will post everyone’s responses so check back often for updates.

Liability Issues:
Our attorney and insurance agent have recommended that we set up a separate legal entity to assume ownership of Dover-Foxcroft. This will keep the liability separate from Spring Hill Baptist Church. Spring Hill Baptist Church will approve the governing documents for this legal entity and retain a controlling interest on the Board of Directors.

Future Plans:
The Board of Directors will be responsible for the day to day operation of Dover-Foxcroft. They will enlist the services of an architect/land planner to determine the best use of the property for the future. There will be many opportunities for dialogue about what can be accomplished at Dover-Foxcroft.
