Vision Statement

Here is the list we came up with to think and pray on about a vision statement. Remember to use also the example in the Chapter 8 of the Externally Focused Church. We need a vision that is compelling to visitors and volunteers. We need to communicate our vision in such a way that we and others will embrace it. Here are the characteristics we came up with to help write a vision.

teaching
outreach
known in our community
praying
faithful to God's vision
forgiving
friendly

If you come up with a vision statement, bring it with you to church on Sunday. Next week read Chapter 9. (Caroline)
