Mission Planning
As people of faith, we trust that God is doing a new thing in the world and we long to be part of this work. Mission planning is the process of discovering how your congregation is called to live as the body of Christ. Assessing congregational vitality can help focus mission plans to capitalize on strengths and address challenges within congregations. On this page, you’ll find resources that have been created across the ELCA as well as by other sources to help you assess congregational vitality and create a mission plan that fits your gifts and context.
