The Importance of Vision Casting

One of the key roles a senior pastor can't delegate is vision casting. Vision casting is essential for senior pastors as they are the primary voice people hear on a regular basis. By defining and communicating the church's vision, the senior pastor helps create a clear and compelling picture of where the church is heading in the future. While they can form a small team to develop the vision, the responsibility of casting the vision cannot be delegated.
