Rostered Ministers Gathering
Write the Vision
The Rev. Michael Rinehart
“If you don't know where you're going, you probably won't get there,” Yogi Berra famously said. Similarly, Jesus said that no one sets out to build a tower without first sitting down to plan the project and estimate costs.
Ministry is hard work. We often get so caught up in Sunday-by-Sunday or season-by-season planning that we don't have time to look up and assess the direction we are heading.
Strategic planning is communal discernment of how we will embrace God’s future. Learn how deep and wide listening, careful clarification of identity and purpose, dreaming and building teams can focus ministry, raise the energy level, simplify the work, create broad buy-in, align your leadership and weave together your congregation.
