 Yes, we see the vision for community transformation. We’re moving from church growth to community impact, from program to purpose, from outreach to withreach, and from a‘clubhouse’ congregation to a visionary missional church without walls. But like it or not, much of our traditional, program-oriented patterns still rule the day. It will take a very creative approach to work around the inertia of convention and it may be unwise to call a staff meeting and announce the abandonment of all existing programs (just yet).  But deep down, most leaders desire to bring two key qualities into their ministry planning: One is integration: a way to move forward as one team and one church, where the parts work together around a visionary, yet intelligent plan, fueled by both individual passion and common purpose. This is the antithesis of many departments-many agendas and every-month-a-new-and-unrelated-event. The other quality is simply progress or progressive results. We want to see that we are truly building toward something, and that we are measuring the outcomes that get us to where we really want to go. We want to feel each day the meaningful rewards and creative flow of God-directed experiences that come from doing exactly what God has called us to, and to see how those experiences connect to the larger vision. > Next | Five Dynamic Core Synergies, Continued. |
