CFTROU 0186: Keeping Vision & Mission Aligned

In this episode, we discuss how to align the vision and mission of your church. Our guests are Derek Simpson, Campus Pastor of Family Church Downtown, Todd Thomas, Campus Pastor of Family Church Sherbrooke, and Scott Crawford, Business Administrator and CFO of Family Church. We unpack multiple aspects aligning our vision and mission, building common language into every conversation we have with one another. We talk about how our statements influence our work, how we use our resources, and much more. There is no limit to how often you can reinforce your vision and mission. We also discuss how we prevent vision and mission leaks. To learn more, tune in.

Key Points From This Episode:

  • The process of developing our mission statement.
  • What our core values are.
  • How often we change our mission, vision, and core values.
  • How your mission and vision statements can influence how you use your resources.
  • The purpose of our vision and strategy meeting.
  • The significance of meals, meetings, and retreats.
  • What we do to maintain alignment with our mission, if we see alternatives start to develop.
  • Vision, mission, and core values: how much is too much and how much is enough?

We filter everything through our mission statement and our core values, so it comes out in everything that we produce. Click To TweetLanguage is powerful in creating and disseminating culture. Click To Tweet
