Is your congregation Claiming God's Vision?

Find out if your congregation is ready

Cross. Claiming God's Vision is a guide designed to assist congregations as they pray and seek God's guidance for future direction in ministry. Using Claiming God's Vision a congregation can …

Seek God's specific purpose for the congregation;
Pray and rely on the Holy Spirit to lead the process;
Use skills and individual gifts given by God;
Explore the community and its characteristics;
Learn about congregational strengths and resources;
Create a specific Vision/Mission or Statement of Calling;
Make decisions about possible ministry opportunities;
Set ministry priorities; and
Develop a ministry plan that provides clear direction.

Three primary questions guide the process:

Where are we now?
Where is God calling us to be and go?
How do we get there?
