What will your congregation
look like in 5 years?

For the majority of mature mainline congregations the answer is easy: 

In 5 years your church will most likely have fewer people,
older people, more headaches and less money. This outcome
is almost guaranteed if you let the future just happen.

The churches with a brighter future are those with a recommitment to God's mission, a shared vision for their future, and realistic strategies to turn that vision into reality.

The critical questions:

What does God want to happen?
Who is God calling you to reach and serve?

Some congregations find it useful to have committed outsider help them wrestle with these questions. David Raymond and ChurchFuture are available to help your church:

•  Uncover the vision and values shared by most of your members.

•  Develop a strategic plan that will achieve your vision and mission.

•  Learn the verified principles that characterize thriving congregations.

•  Identify new resources that might be available to carry out your vision.
