Description

Strategic planning is a set of tools that allow the people involved in ministry to have a common direction to move towards. In a sense, strategic planning is what makes the mission of the church real. If everyone simply does their own thing, based on their individual understanding of what God wants, the church really has no common mission that it is implementing. To be honest, this is the way many congregations behave and it explains why so little of what they do is mission-driven and why they may be dying on the vine instead of spiritually vital and growing.
