Choices Within the Journey

What are essential resources to have available to embrace this choice?

Readiness, including a sense of urgency.

Case studies to observe and from which to learn. It is essential to discover and dialogue with congregations who have made this choice at least five years ago.

Knowledge of the strategic actions called for by this choice.

A vision incorporated into a future story of the congregation’s potential. A ministry plan that covers the first ten years of the life of the congregation must be developed, perhaps in the form of a future story, before facilities for the new location are designed.

A minimum critical mass of leadership.

  • Faithful, effective, and innovative actions.

  • A bunch of money, the ability to raise a bunch of money, and/or an extremely favorable selling price for the old facilities.

A commitment to and involvement in relevant actions that should result in at least fifty percent of the active members of the congregation within ten years being people who were never part of the congregation in the old location.

Coaching from a coach for congregational leadership.
