Visioning
Vision Task Force makes final report, but church vision lives on
We celebrate. We support. We serve. Those words sum up how we see ourselves as a church that exists because we want to do God's will. They come from a Vision Statement written earlier this year and presented in church after a two-year process to discern what God calls us to do in the North Liberty area.
We've reached an important step in this visioning process: the completion of work done by your Vision Task Force and Vision Panel. Yet, we feel that work only has been preparatory. The important work begins now - living the vision.
This will happen in our ministry groups and, hopefully, all that we do as a church in several ways. Two notable ways are:
With a volunteer Vision Key Area Leader. The Ministry Council has appointed, as recommended by the Vision Task Force, Jim Kiersey, to that post. Jim will recruit other church members who want to keep the vision alive in our programming.
Members of the Vision Task Force and Vision Panel agreeing to serve as vision mentors to selected ministry groups. These mentors serve as a resource as we develop ministry.
The visioning process has been amazing. We have learned much about ourselves. As it closed its chapter in this journey the Visioning Task Force submitted the following report to the Ministry Council that tells what we can take from all of this. Your Visioning Task Force was Charlotte Young, Paul McRoberts, Renee Pierson, Jim Keirsey, Terri Davis, Lyle Muller and Alecia Williams. Your Vision Panel was Ryan Bevins, Paul Meade, Andrew Walker, Arlene Kaczinski, Ellen Colony, Chris Hoffman and Judy McRoberts.
