Dada esta realidad, el taller de la Rev. Dra. Katina Sharp en Stewardship Kaleidoscope, \u201cIglesia peque\u00f1a, gran impacto\u201d comparti\u00f3 estrategias y una plantilla para el crecimiento en la comunidad.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfC\u00f3mo pueden tener sentido iglesias tan peque\u00f1as? Para la iglesia de Sharp, la Iglesia Presbiteriana Powell, a las afueras de Knoxville, Tennessee, el primer paso fue reconocer que ya no era la misma iglesia de antes. No se trataba de un juicio de valor, sino de aceptar la realidad. Con esa honestidad, la iglesia pudo empezar a imaginar nuevas formas de ejercer su ministerio en la comunidad.<\/p>\n<p>El taller de Sharp formaba parte de <a href=\"http:\/\/stewardshipkaleidoscope.org\">Caleidoscopio de la administraci\u00f3n<\/a> en Nueva Orleans, celebrada en septiembre de 2025. La conferencia anual es presentada por la <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcusa.org\">Iglesia Presbiteriana (EE.UU.)<\/a>) y <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elca.org\">Iglesia Evang\u00e9lica Luterana en Am\u00e9rica<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>La asistencia semanal al culto de Powell Presbyterian en 2018 fue de 35, su presupuesto anual fue de $100,000, y la iglesia hab\u00eda tenido presupuestos deficitarios durante los 15 a\u00f1os anteriores. Dados estos desaf\u00edos, Sharp reclut\u00f3 a los congregantes para que la ayudaran a hacer un \u201cmapeo de activos\u201d. Este ejercicio plantea preguntas como: \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 propiedades tenemos? \u201d\u00bfCu\u00e1les son nuestras reservas financieras?\u201c y \u201d\u00bfCu\u00e1les son nuestras conexiones en la comunidad?\u201c. Una vez determinados estos elementos, la gente de la iglesia pod\u00eda empezar a discernir patrones o temas comunes.<\/p>\n<p>Estas son algunas de las caracter\u00edsticas distintivas de la Powell Presbyterian que surgieron de su ejercicio de mapeo de activos: se asienta en 5 acres de propiedad, y 4 de ellos son boscosos. El patio trasero de la iglesia es bastante llano y consiste en un aparcamiento y un campo de medio acre. El terreno incluye un pabell\u00f3n cubierto. La iglesia est\u00e1 enfrente de un barrio muy grande. Hay una escuela secundaria y un instituto cerca. Un miembro de la iglesia es recaudador de fondos de Relevo por la Vida. Otro es l\u00edder del club de atletismo de Knoxville. Y acoger a Family Promise (un ministerio para familias sin hogar) es una misi\u00f3n destacada.<\/p>\n<p>Evaluaci\u00f3n en mano, Powell vio la oportunidad de organizar un festival comunitario de verano. La primera <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powellpcusa.org\/blackberry-festival\/\">Fiesta de la Zarzamora<\/a> fue un evento de un d\u00eda que incluy\u00f3 una carrera de 5 km, vendedores que alquilaron parcelas cuadradas de 3 metros, un cami\u00f3n de comida y una venta de pasteles a la antigua usanza. Un servicio local de alquiler puso a disposici\u00f3n de la iglesia un roc\u00f3dromo gratuito. La esposa de Sharp, Whitney, contrat\u00f3 al makerspace que supervisa en la Universidad de Tennessee para fabricar las medallas de la carrera. Ofrecieron a la School of Rock local (una franquicia que ofrece clases de rock para j\u00f3venes) una carpa gratis si se encargaban del entretenimiento. Y muchos miembros colaboraron en todo lo que pudieron.<\/p>\n<p>El festival fue un \u00e9xito de recaudaci\u00f3n de fondos en su primer a\u00f1o, pero su verdadero poder surgi\u00f3 de la comunidad a la que conect\u00f3 y de la conciencia del deseo de la iglesia de comprometerse m\u00e1s reflexivamente con ella.<\/p>\n<p>Esto no quiere decir que todo fuera como la seda, por supuesto. Powell Presbyterian aprendi\u00f3 algunas lecciones del primer a\u00f1o. En primer lugar, no hay que tener miedo de pedir lo que se necesita. Consiguieron aparcamiento gratuito en las escuelas, y un concesionario de coches local les proporcion\u00f3 lanzaderas a esos aparcamientos. En segundo lugar, si organizan un acto, p\u00eddanle a varias personas que revisen el plan. En tercer lugar, consulta a tu agente de seguros y comprueba la legislaci\u00f3n local sobre permisos y zonificaci\u00f3n. Y lo m\u00e1s importante: sepa que sus errores son oportunidades para crecer.<\/p>\n<p>A pesar de que Powell Presbyterian provoc\u00f3 algunos disgustos con la primera edici\u00f3n, la buena voluntad de la comunidad fue suficiente para celebrarla un segundo a\u00f1o, con un \u00e9xito a\u00fan mayor. A d\u00eda de hoy, siguen celebrando el Festival de la Zarzamora, que se ha convertido en un acontecimiento esperado por toda la ciudad.<\/p>\n<p>Independientemente de lo que emprenda su comunidad religiosa, dijo Sharp, h\u00e1gase estas preguntas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bfCu\u00e1les son las necesidades de la comunidad? (Tambi\u00e9n, \u00bfqu\u00e9 no se necesita?)<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfBusca una idea a corto plazo o un proyecto continuo?<\/li>\n<li>\u00bfNecesitar\u00e1 grandes esfuerzos de voluntariado o algo menos intensivo?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Estas preguntas le ayudar\u00e1n a crear un plan viable. Lo importante es no rehuir hacer algo nuevo y diferente. As\u00ed que int\u00e9ntalo, aunque fracases, siempre puedes informarte, elaborar un plan de mejora y volver a intentarlo.<\/p>\n<p>Pero si su evento es un \u00e9xito, recuerde hacer un debriefing de todos modos. Celebra el \u00e9xito, practica la gratitud (por ejemplo, escribiendo tarjetas de agradecimiento a los socios de la comunidad) y, lo m\u00e1s importante, descansa.<\/p>\n<p>Hoy en d\u00eda, la Iglesia Presbiteriana Powell tiene un presupuesto equilibrado, aportan m\u00e1s de 10% de<\/p>\n<p>su compromiso con la misi\u00f3n, y est\u00e1n experimentando un crecimiento congregacional.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two thirds of all congregations in the PC(USA) have fewer than 100 members.
