Incremental Route: Assessment The Core Ideology or Master Story of the Congregation: The Everlasting Purpose or History of a congregation is the historical purpose or reason for which this particular congregation came into being. It relates to the founding purpose of your congregation and answers the questions, why did we come into existence? It also relates to the founding story of your congregation that is generally formed during the first five to six years of the life of your congregation. The founding purpose and founding story tend to blend into one understanding of the early years of the congregation. This understanding of the early years of a congregation tends to impact the life and ministry of the congregation long past the life of the founding members. It becomes an unspoken, and perhaps an unwritten, basic understanding of the driving purpose that impacts decisions made by the congregation long past the life and livelihood of the congregation.
