This plan moves us closer to achieving our Vision, but still needs:
–more work,
–much more involvement, and
–much more prayer.
How is This Plan Different?
• There has never been a Conference Strategic Leadership Team or Strategic Plan before.
• It reflects a holistic view of our connection: conference , districts, clergy & congregations.
• It uses cross-functional teams to promote wider participation, best practices & bridging silos.
• It emphasizes missional accountability at all levels: conference, districts, clergy and congregations.
• It continues our focus on the Five Practices.
