A compelling vision and mission can be the fire in the engine of the church, the driving force that motivates, energizes and gives meaning to life. Unfortunately for many, the vision and mission statements of the church are sweet, pious sentiments that are rarely seen, internally focused, rarely used and don’t inspire anyone.
Agile Church offers an innovative, intensive and effective program to help congregations discover the vision God dreams for their church and the mission the Spirit inspires for the people. In this case the process is as important as the outcome. The Agile Church Vision and Mission Planning process includes:
- Program Planning and Guidance regarding volunteer engagement
- Small-Group Study curriculum and Facilitator Training
- Workshops and Retreats to consolidate congregational input and craft an effective and compelling Vision and Mission for the church
- Integration and Application Consultation to make the new Vision and Mission part of the culture and decision-making process
Even in times of financial hardship, people will give to and want to be a part of a church whose vision and mission gives them a chance to make a difference and a personal stake in a world-changing ministry.
This new vision can:
- Bring new life and energy to the church
- Deepen faith and spiritual connection
- Increase giving
- Increase volunteer engagement
- Generate ministry outside the church
- Simplify decision making regarding budgeting and implementation of new ministries
- Attract new families and individuals looking for a place that exemplifies the values of Jesus by making a tangible difference in the world
This can be a great opportunity to put your church on a new path to growth and impact in your community.
