22. Stage One Let’s Try to Answer, “Where Are We?”

23. Stage One Begin With An Outreach Check-up

24. Outreach Questions

25. 1.How many new people joined the church last year? 2.From a broad perspective (overall church) What are those things that we need to preserve, change or avoid?

26. 3.What big outreach campaigns/events did the church as a whole engaged in last year? 4.What specific outreach activities did your various ministries conduct last year?

27. Stage One The Second Check-up Is A Values Check-up

28. “A value can be likened to a ‘homing device’, an internal guidance mechanism that keeps you on course. A value is what helps you to make in-flight corrections to your attitude, motives, activities, and emphases. You will need to make many in-flight corrects along the way, but if you have not clearly defined your core value, you won’t know what to correct to!” Wayne Cordiero

29. Evangelism needs to be a part of everything a church does!

30. What are the CORE values of the church? Where on the list of values is outreach? Is it a value that permeates every ministry?

31. WHAT ARE THE CORE VALUES OF THE CHURCH? If Evangelism is A Value… How is it modeled in the goals from last year? How is it modeled in the various ministry activities?

32. Are there any activities that need to be discontinued to make room for new evangelism and outreach areas? What percentage of the church budget is spent on “in”-reach vs. “out” -reach?

43. John R.W. Stott, an English theologian, states, “Vision begins with a holy discontent with the way things are.”

44. Vision is a picture of what God will do in the future.

45. Vision Passion Commitment Unity Reward     

46. Is it biblically based? Is the motive to glorify God? Does it start where you are? Is it relevant to your community? Is it received by others who have heard it communicated effectively? Is it demonstrated by passion? It is demonstrated by commitment? How To Keep Authenticity in Vision:

47. “The process of establishing vision and values is a painful one. We get lulled into mediocrity, we lose sight of what could be through God’s power that is available to us.” Bill Hybels
