Visioning pt. 3

• Visioning the “desired reality”:

Where would God like this church to be next year? Five years from now? Twenty-five years from now?

Why has God raised up this congregation in this community at this time in history?

As we listen to God, what is the desired reality for the future? How can we get a clear picture (vision) of what that would look like?

What positive difference is God calling our congregation to make in this community and beyond?

Where do our gifts meet the needs of this church, of the community, and elsewhere in the world?

Does the vision reflect the real ministry needs in this locality?

Is the vision exciting? Does it energize the people?
