Deep dives
Approaching vision as a dynamic tool
An intentional church sees vision as a dynamic tool to identify areas for growth and improvement. Rather than treating vision as a static statement, it should be periodically reviewed and adjusted based on what the church is learning. This approach involves asking, 'What would have to be true to double our impact?' and setting a three to five-year timeframe for achieving that vision. By focusing on dynamic vision, an intentional church can develop strategies and take action to move closer to their goals.
