A November newsletter article titled, “Hitting the Bullseye,” mentioned the need for churches to more clearly define issues related to accomplishing their visions and plans for addressing those issues. In so doing, churches will help themselves map out a journey that will move them forward, and will give the association a bullseye at which to aim in resourcing those vision issues.
A tool for communication of vision issues and plans for which the association can provide resourcing is the monthly Key Indicators report. Though the primary reason this report was initiated was to track key indicators of church growth and health, an added piece to the report includes questions about vision issues, plans to address them, and ways the association can resource those plans. This provides a handy means of reporting plans and requesting resources.
Churches are asked to report key indicators every month, but in most instances churches will only periodically have key issues information to relay. Thirteen churches have reported their key issues and plans, stating what resourcing is needed. This is a good start. I encourage the remainder of TCMBA churches to get on board. The Key Indicators report can be found on the association web site at www.tcmba.org.
