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. Discover and dialogue with congregation who have made this choice at least five years ago is essential.

Knowledge of the strategic actions called for by this choice.

A vision incorporated into a future story of the congregation’s potential. A clear vision of a positive future to which people are urged to commit, as opposed to a survival plan to keep the congregation from dying.

A minimum critical mass of leadership.

  • Leadership that is bicultural is essential. Such leadership can get deep in scope in the context of the congregation, and also minister effectively to people who drive into the context to worship, learn, fellowship, and minister.

  • Long-term commitments from people outside the context to invest their spiritual, leadership, strategic, and financial resources in the congregation.

  • An understanding that if this model is successful that all leadership groups must have persons from both communities genuinely and significantly involved in their activities.

Faithful, effective, and innovative actions.

Coaching from a coach for congregational leadership.
