Strategic Planning Process

The Strategic Planning Process is an exciting time of utilizing results from the “Take Your Church’s Pulse” instrument, as well as further work and prayer together to choose the best direction for your church and its ministry. Looking to the future for at least the next three years, the Strategic Planning Process helps determine what actions your church will do, why your church will do them, and how your church will accomplish them. With the strategic plan, you can be confident that biblical, sensible, and reliable details are communicated well. The result is a church with personnel focused together on accomplishing God’s kingdom work in the best possible way!
