Incremental Route: Future Planning What are some guidelines that might help a congregation through the process of developing its future story? Identify three scenarios (choices) your congregation would like to pursue. Explore redevelopment choices in order to stimulate ideas. Brainstorm characteristics of the congregation if it follows each scenario (choice) for the next ten to twelve years. Write three brief scenarios. Choose one scenario to pursue more deeply. Write the first draft of your future story. Develop and implement a plan for sharing your story and building ownership. Share your draft with other congregations for affirmation and challenge. Rewrite your future story based on feedback and new insights. Develop and implement a plan for sharing your story and building ownership. Develop suggestions for how to live into the story. Develop items to live into the story over the next 6-18 months (and the next 3-5 years). Live into your story and reaffirm it through some celebration experience every 120 days.
