Our Process

The Visioning Process is an intense, multi-day meeting involving congregational stakeholders in dialogue to jointly discern the future mission priorities of the church. It challenges the congregation to assess what they are doing to live into God’s economy by using their assets for mission. The visioning process helps a congregation understand its needs, while discerning and determining how to meet those needs. The ultimate goal of the process is for the congregation, by consensus, to develop a list of mission priorities.

When your church’s future is uncertain, it’s time to have courageous conversations and make faithful decisions. Facing Your Church’s Uncertain Future: Helpful Practices for Courageous Conversations & Faithful Decisions, is a resource that offers good practices for discerning, discussing and making decisions that concern a church’s future. In conjunction with this resource, webinars are offered that engage participants in dialogue regarding engaging congregational conversation, discernment and decision making; theological reflection on facing closure with resurrection faith; worship liturgies for discernment, decision-making and closing times and helpful steps in preparation for closure and legacy.

A Financial Feasibility Study determines, as objectively as possible, the church’s probability of success in achieving its campaign goal. It can also help identify leaders for a capital campaign.
