Strategic planning is the art of carefully identifying and capitalizing on opportunities for an organization to deliver its mission and sustain itself. Faith-based ministries and churches achieve their vision through sound business practices, well-integrated planning initiatives, and innovative implementation strategies designed around discerning where God is calling the organization or ministry. In other words, effective strategic planning envisions a successful future, decides on and implements the best strategies to get there.
Discerning communities pay attention to both individual and communal discernment. The real problem in discernment is not at the communal level but at the personal level. To have discerning communities, you must have discerning individuals. And to be a discerning person, you must be a praying person. Discernment is a function of one’s personal relationship with God.

If desired, the process can also include teaching your internal staff to facilitate and support the ongoing planning process. Contact us at 866-480-8003 or info@getstrategy.com for more information.
