MEASURES: Learn Humbly, Live in Community, Love Sacrificially, and Lead Courageously

Today’s Objectives

• Decide/commit on an articulation of our church’s strategy—the “map” that answer the question, “How are we doing it?”

[video placeholder]

Strategy is the process or picture of how our church accomplishes the mission on the broadest level.

Strategy Exercise, pg. 85

Strategy organizes our programs, events and ministries in such a way as to help church members know where to go next.

The ultimate measure of whether or not our church has a strategy is with a simple “napkin test.” Can the leadership of your church draw a simple picture that shows how you accomplish the mission on the broadest level?

How do we determine what that “missional map” should be?

What makes a great missional mark?

• Clear - Is it easy to understand?

• Concise - Is it short?

• Compelling - Is it pleasing to say?

• Catalytic - Does it call us to act?

• Contextual - Is it based in Scripture?

Next Meeting: July 3, 2016
