Defining Core Beliefs for Churches

At the foundational level of the strategic alignment pyramid, churches must clarify their core beliefs, focusing on beliefs that are non-negotiable and crystal clear in the Bible. These include beliefs about God, Jesus, salvation, and scripture. It is crucial for churches to ensure alignment around these core beliefs to avoid internal disruptions and remain unified in their mission.
