Anytime is a good time to begin developing a vision plan for the long term growth and development of your church. It just depends on church schedules and key dates on the church’s calendar.
A number of churches begin vision planning immediately following their annual meeting. For some, the arrival of spring and the celebration of Easter mark a good time to begin the planning process. No matter the timing, it is imperative that your leadership is on board and willing to move forward to discern God’s call for the church’s future, then, developing a plan in an orderly and a prayerfully thought-out manner.
Hiring counsel early in this process is critical in developing a solid cohesive long-range vision plan.
