Then I became accustom to going to church, and even in the summer time the church had summer programs that I attended all summer and they would feed us lunch and we would play games all day and this was like very special for me. When I grew up and got married, and had my own children, I found myself doing the same routines with them. Now that I live in New York, I searched for (2) two years to find a church group that reminded me of home.

Sunday school was followed by an eleven o’clock service that was opened up by the same three to four deacons saying the same old prayer and humming the same hymns every Sunday. This style of worship service is what I call a stale-base model. This is a Church that was stuck in their comfort zone, comfortable with doing things the same way with the same people and getting the same results in leadership as well as from the members of the church. In all my childhood years of attending this Baptist church until now of just being a former member, this church has yet to either excel in team-base leadership nor in church growth.
