Development and Strategic Planning

Confusion, lack, frustration, burn-out, mission failure…

 

It’s not a people problem, it’s a plan problem.  It simply isn’t enough to have a Vision.  And a lofty-sounding mission statement tucked away in Board notes or written on a plaque will NOT bring you mission success.  What you see happening as a result of your ministry, how you intend to get there, and how you plan to resource it all work together to make your God-given vision a reality.

Vision, Mission, Strategic Planning and Development Planning—all create the structure you need for mission success!
