Steps to Vision for Ministry

• What priorities come into focus?
• Is there a statement that summarizes feedback
• Is there a clear direction for the church?
• How might the above influence budget, staffing,
  worship, mission, volunteer efforts, etc?
• Is there a follow-up question that needs to be
  asked of the congregation?
• What, specifically does this mean for CUCC in 2,
  5, 10 years?
• What benchmarks will we establish to measure our
  progress?
