Western Area Event at Meade State Lake

By

Dennis McDowell | Western Area Superintendent & Pastor, Fowler Friends Church

If you aren’t familiar with the Western Area of EFC-MAYM, let me fill you in. We are an area that has representation from SW Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas Panhandle, and SE Colorado. As a small group of nine churches we still enjoy physically gathering for fellowship. One could say we aren’t a “Zoom” community.

For several years now we have been meeting at Meade State Lake in August, and, once again, this event didn’t let us down. Six of our nine Western Area churches were represented. After free time, canoeing, and hiking, we held an area business meeting followed by a potluck meal, outdoor worship time, and small group discussion.

As Western Area Superintendent I have had a passion for the last two years to explore how we save our small and struggling churches. This topic has been the center of our small group discussions when our area gets together. I have been collecting this data for several years now and hopefully can find ways to help the small churches in our area and across Mid America Yearly Meeting. I fully believe if we can help our small and struggling churches to become healthy again, then church planting and foreign missions will become more fruitful.

The Western Area has wonderful churches filled with Spirit-led Pastors and people. We love to gather and look forward to our next opportunity to fellowship with each other in the future.
