passing along a tradition of God's truth

BPChurch has a great heritage, we are rooted in history, having been founded 145 years ago by some of our areas first pioneers, and we are rooted in His story, having a strong heritage in God's word, passed from one generation to the next.
Passing that baton from generation to generation can be tricky. Who's responsible for the handoff? What specifically must be passed on versus what is unique and personal to each generation?
Our Olympic teams learned the hard way how important making the crucial hand-off is to running the race well. May we do well passing the gospel along to the next generation, so that BPChurch will continue to run the race set before us.
