Strategic Planning 2003

Introduction & Background

Holy Word has grown from a church with 26 chartering members to one of over 500 today. This is a wonderful testament to the power of the Gospel, and it is a welcome blessing to have a large body of believers. However, with such a dramatic increase in size, there are new challenges to face. In order to address these challenges, the Board of Elders, the Church Council, and our called workers began a strategic planning initiative in September 2003. A short-term purpose of our planning is to solve some of our immediate budgetary difficulties, but we continue to focus on a long-term goal of making our ministry and outreach the best it can be as we seek to fulfill our Great Commission.

Outcome

The strategic planning process produced several documents. They are provided here.
