Creating our vision
In May, the Visioning Task Force met with many of you to discuss your ideas for the future of All Saints, based on the core values identified through input from the congregation and the task force.
Those values:
(1) We Value Our Relationship with God
(2) We Value Service to Others
(3) We Value Our Church Community
(4) We Value Creative Ministry
(5) We Value Faithful Giving
The process of developing a “North Star” for All Saints, its members, community, leadership and staff to follow over the next five years continues. The compilation and analysis of the ideas and comments of the many members who participated in focus groups is underway, and the task force is taking those into account as they move forward.
From the best use of our facilities, to how to improve our worship services and education, to the best use and development of staff and technology, this vision will help us stay on track as we move into the future. We also recognize that it will always be a work in progress, as God gives us more opportunity and surprises that allow us to modify our path.
Visioning Task Force
God’s Vision, Our Vision
Congregation Council chartered the Visioning Task Force to accomplish one of the recommendations of the Listening Post Team Report issued in September. The report concluded that All Saints needed a comprehensive vision and encouraged the congregation to develop one that looks ahead three to five years. Council responded, and the Visioning Task Force held its first meeting Feb. 16. At that meeting, Council asked the task force to develop and oversee a Visioning Process that would:
- Create a clear vision that would serve as the All Saints “North Star” for the congregation over the next few years;
- Affirm and/or create our Core Values, by which our actions and undertakings may be measured;
- Affirm and/or revise the Mission of All Saints;
- Involve all members of the congregation (and perhaps community neighbors) in the process.
