Opened with Prayer for Forest Park
Tommy said he would like to poll people for their top two preferences. It is not a vote, but just a sense of the group.
- All had Change in Place as first option.
- Merger (3)
- Status quo
Talk about Change in Place
Could mean
- Modernize building
- Things will look different
- Worship may look different
- Food pantry
- Approach to missions
- Sacrifices of what is now in place
- Parallel ministry
- Other ministry sharing space
- New, clear mission statement
Change in order to perform God’s mission for us, but in a new way.
Partnerships have to align with mission.
Changing in place requires a large-scale assessment of everything.
- Facilities and assets
- Budget assessment
- Staff assessment
- Ministry audit
After assessments is the time for evaluation.
Also talked about merger options.
Meet June 22 for next meeting.
