Strategies for Coaching the
Development Journey: Adulthood to Maturity

This is the strategy that leads to reaching the highest quality stage of the congregational life cycle as vision diminishes, and the things the congregation does well become its focus. A congregation can fine tune the quality of its ministry and prepare for Revisioning. It involves an Incremental Route.

Length of the Maturity stage is difficult to determine. Generally it is probably at least seven to nine years.

Congregational life cycle-related tactical steps for an Adulthood to Maturity Strategy include the following:

• Focus on quality in all aspects of the congregation
  
  
• Work to keep the management systems empowering of the future rather than controlling of the past.
  
  
• Begin dialogue within the congregation concerning Revisioning.

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