Strategic
Planning
The focus of our Strategic planning is for your congregation to live into God's vision for them. It is a highly contextual and a helpful process which we design for each congregation. We offer an eighteen month commitment to work with the congregation from articulating their core values, mission and vision for the future through writing goals, implementing action plans, and evaluating results.
Guided Process:
Goal: For your congregation to be able to:
​
-
articulate their core values
-
participate in the mission of God with your town
-
have a clear vision of where God is leading your congregation
-
develop a set of goals
-
design action plans and implement them
-
evaluate progress and
-
celebrate what God is doing
-
decide on the next faithful step
​​
Contract with Living the Resurrection for eighteen months, though the contract could be extended by a few months if something happens that gets us behind schedule.
​
First step: your congregation recruits a Strategic Planning Team. Pastor Marj will train the team via Zoom sessions so that they can do the preparatory work for each workshop. When the team has completed the necessary work, Pr Marj will come and facilitate the workshop.
​
The three Workshop Weekends could look like this:
​
-
Pastor Marj arrives on Friday and meets with the team in the evening.
-
Saturday workshop with the team and select congregation members (5 hours)
-
Sunday worship and session (1.5- 2 hours) with the congregation.
The process includes eight to ten two-hour Zoom training sessions with Pastor Marj, and or other member of the Living the Resurrection Team.
​
Cost for 3 Workshop Weekends and eight to ten Zoom sessions = $9,500
Plus expenses for travel from San Francisco CA to congregation, housing, and meals for each of the 3 Workshop Weekends.
