  2. Walking by Faith Rather Than By Sight “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 [NASB]

  3. Walking by Faith Rather Than By Sight Visionary Leadership Relationship Experiences Programmatic Emphases Accountable Management

  4. Visionary Leadership Our congregation has a strong, clear, and passionate sense of our identity involving mission and purpose [who we are], our core values [what we believe or highly value], our vision [where we are headed], and our spiritual strategic journey as a congregation [how we are getting there].

  5. Relationship Experiences Our congregation is doing well at attracting people to a Christ-centric faith journey [evangelism], and at helping people who are connected with our congregation to be on an intentional and maturing Christ-centric faith journey [discipleship development].

  6. Relationship Experiences Among the results of the faith journey of people in our congregation is a deepening spirituality, the development of numerous new leaders, and a willingness by many people to get actively involved in congregational leadership positions and in places of ministry service within and beyond the congregation [lay mobilization].

  7. Programmatic Emphases Our congregation has outstanding programs, ministries, and activities for which we are well known throughout our congregation, and our geographic community or the target groups we serve. Our programs, ministries, and activities seem to be growing in numbers and quality. Our programs are meeting real, identified spiritual, social, and emotional needs of people.

  8. Accountable Management Our congregation has excellent, flexible management systems [teams, committees, councils, boards, leadership communities] that empower the future direction of our congregation rather than seek to control the future direction.

  9. Accountable Management Decision-making is open and responsive to congregational input. Finances are healthy and increasing each year. The management systems are supportive of the visionary leadership efforts by the pastor, staff, and congregational leadership.

  10. Congregational Vitality or Congregational Passivity Congregations who focus more on Vision and Relationships than they do on Programs and Management are growing younger and more vital every day.

  11. Congregational Vitality or Congregational Passivity Congregations who focus more on Programs and Management than they do on Vision and Relationships are growing older and more passive very day.

  12. Congregational Vitality or Congregational Passivity Congregations who focus on Vision and Relations are walking by faith. Congregations who focus on Programs and Management are walking by sight.

  13. Congregational Vitality or Congregational Passivity How is your congregation walking?
