In this article last month, I encouraged churches to plan for an assessment for their church sometime in the next year.  The purpose of such an assessment to be clarification of vision direction and determining what functions in the church need work to move more aggressively in this direction, what functions need to be implemented, and maybe what functions no longer serve their purpose.

Out of an assessment of this nature, a church can develop better plans and strategies to go forward in accomplishing their vision.  With a renewed focus on vision and plans to accomplish that vision, a church is also better equipped to communicate what resources it needs to implement its vision plans.  This helps the association do its job of resourcing churches.  Then we want to come alongside pastors to provide coaching to help them stay on course with these plans.

Clint Calvert, Church Health Director for the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention, will be at the May 21, Pastor’s Lunch Fellowship.  He will share information about a church assessment process he can provide your church.  The fellowship is at 11:00 A.M., at Roseville Baptist Church.
