Strategies for Coaching the
Development Journey: Infancy to Childhood

This is the strategy for moving a young congregation from its Infancy stage to Childhood where the framework of programs, ministries, and activities that will characterize a congregation are developed. It involves a Systemic Route.

Length of the Childhood stage is five to six years.

Congregational life cycle-related tactical steps for an Infancy to Childhood Strategy include the following:

• Passionately cast the vision of the young congregation.
  
  
• Focus on developing the programs, ministries, and activities relevant to the context and/or the affinity groups the congregation is successful attracting to its spiritual strategic journey as a Christ-centric, faith-based congregation.
  
  
• Encourage people to accept jobs in the congregation that fit their spiritual giftedness, life skills, and personality preferences.

If, at this point, you have completed your Route and reviewed your strategy for Coaching, consider Choices next.
