Routings for the Journey: What is the equipping order for an experiential route? The equipping order for an Experiential Route: Learning First, the congregation seeks to discover the areas where they appear to need greater wisdom or learnings, and then seek avenues to building the capacities they need to take the next steps in the change and transition journey. Second, the congregation should faithfully, effectively and with as much innovation in methodology as possible, implement their short-term actions in search of areas of new strength. Third, the congregation should continually evaluate their spiritual strategic journey to adjust their future actions as it becomes obvious that the progress of the congregation reveals an emerging future story. Fourth, The congregation should first work on issues of readiness that deal with the issues of passionate readiness, spiritual readiness, leadership readiness, and strategic readiness. During the readiness time building and initiating leadership community made up of the people of passion, supported by the people of position, should be a priority goal. The role of the pastor in vision casting is important during this step. Fifth, the congregation should identify the immediate actions that need to be taken over the next six to 18 months to live into its story, and those that need to be projected for the next three to five years. Sixth, the congregation should honestly assess the strengths and potential of the congregation within its context using the Congregational Issues for a Spiritual Strategic Journey Initial Assessment. Seventh, when ready the congregation should write its future story of what it will be like ten years from how if it is successful in its spiritual strategic journey. |
