Mission Plan 2012
As our diocesan strategic plan from 2007 had reached the end of its productive life, our Diocesan Council decided to draft a new plan. To carry out this responsibility, the council established the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) and charged the committee to consider the work of the 2007 plan in the development of a new one. A 15-member committee formed, consisting of two co-chairs, a consultant, and 12 others. The membership represented eight congregations, and included the bishop and members of the diocesan staff. Following preliminary organizational meetings, the full committee first met in September, 2010. In subsequent months the committee created the following components of the new strategic plan: preamble; mission and vision; six baptismal and biblical values; six strategic goals; objectives and action plans for each of the six strategic goals; an implementation plan; and a communication plan.
The implementation plan lays out the way forward and includes a recommended organizational structure and procedure that identifies responsibilities and accountability for implementation.
The communication plan presents an outline of pre- and post-convention activity for raising awareness and enabling congregations and communities within the diocese to make this plan their own, and identifies responsible parties and those willing or likely to contribute gifts to this end. The communication plan also includes suggested materials for each congregation to assist the leadership with communicating and implementing the new strategic plan.
The final version is posted to the left. We encourage you to read through it. This will be voted on at our 2012 Diocesan Convention on February 10 and 11, 2012.
