Our Strategic Directions |
|
-- adopted January 2005 --
|
|
In order to make progress on our vision, in the next few years we will put our energy into the following strategic directions: |
| |
|
Building Trust
|
| |
We will build trust
together. Without this, all the other strategic efforts will fall
short and our vision will not become a reality. |
| |
|
Connecting
|
|
|
• connecting congregations |
|
|
• connecting presbytery and
congregations |
| |
We will grow healthy and helpful connections between congregations, one to another, and between the congregations and the presbytery.
|
| |
|
Empowering and Nurturing for Energy and Wholeness
|
| |
• caring for ministers and other church
professionals
|
| |
• equipping the saints |
| |
• sharing our successes |
| |
We will cultivate healthy and effective leaders for our congregations and our presbytery through support and training.
|
| |
|
Creating
|
| |
• re-inventing
presbytery meetings |
| |
• tapping our
spiritual roots |
| |
• structuring our
lives together |
| |
We will discover ways of doing presbytery that enliven the spirit rather than deplete it.
