Incremental Route: Assessment The Core Ideology or Master Story of the Congregation Three elements—Eternal Mission, Everlasting Purpose, and Enduring Core Values—form the Core Ideology or Master Story of a congregation. Seldom are these elements all written down, yet they are still present and a part of the perceived reality of the congregation. The Core Ideology does not change much, often, or fast, or it is not truly core or foundational to the congregation. It is just a collection of nice ideas. For change and transition to take place in a congregation, it is not necessary to be bound by the core ideology. However, the core ideology must be discovered, understood, respected, and paraphrased to the congregation by those who desire to lead change and transition. Doing so will often gain permission for emerging leadership to make the necessary changes and transition leading to congregational transformation.
