Strategic Planning Process

The Strategic Planning Process consisted of four major phases:

ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT

A fact-driven and detailed assessment of the congregation and our community through an online survey to members, interviews with congregational leaders and interviews with community leaders.

CONGREGATIONAL CREATIVE SOLVE SESSIONS

Three sessions of three to four hours each where the congregation examined: ● • Who are we? ● • What difference do we want to make? ● • How do we deepen participation?

STRATEGY FORMATION

The strategic planning team identified strategy options, resulting in a strategic framework to guide the congregation: mission, vision, themes, goals and values.

STRATEGIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT

We drafted a strategic plan that explains our mission, vision, themes, goals and values.

This strategic plan represents a road map for the next five years of ministry. It is intended to be a starting point for the Council, ministry teams, leadership, formal and informal small groups and congregants to align directionally and work towards a stronger future together. This plan is an agreement, a covenant, between us. It is a declaration to the wider community that Redeemer is a congregation called to serve God, our neighbors and ourselves. Together, we want the world to see Jesus through us.
