Other people have already had some really good ideas about congregational development. Some of them may well work for your congregation. In the spirit of not reinventing the wheel when someone else has already designed a very satisfactory one, we strongly recommend a visit to:
Church Toolbox
A website developed by the Diocese of Virginia as a resource for the entire church.
The Leadership Network

The Alban Institute
New research-based information and new ways to learn and minister more effectively within and outside faith communities.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
Provide strategies, practical tools, and proven evangelism and discipleship methods for every area of ministry.
