"Identity, Vision, Mission, and Results"
This workshop is based upon Woods’ most recent book (under contract with Chalice Press) "The Agility Model." For a church or region to be agile, it must have strength, speed, and balance. During this hands-on-coaching session, Dr. Woods guides the participants through the process of clarifying identify, discerning vision, narrowing missional priorities and producing results. Come and explore topics such as:
·
How do we decide what to keep, abandon, and create?· How can our motto serve as a window to our vision?
· How do we build ownership for our vision?
· Are we a modality or a sodality?
· How do we match our resources to the needs of the community?
"Church Health and Church Growth Finding The Leverage Points"
With so much written about church growth and church health, it can be difficult to sort out the hunches from reality in order to know what works and does not work in promoting church health and congregational renewal. In this workshop, Dr. Woods draws from his involvement on the "Pulpit and Pew" project as well as numerous research papers presented at the Religious Research Association over the last few decades in order to respond to questions such as:
·
What are the marks of a healthy church?· What are some common and rare forms of community ministry?
· What is the relationship between church health and church growth?
· How much do church size and location influence its ability to grow?
· What inspires a person to visit a church, return, and eventually get involved?
· Are New Paradigm and megachurches a model for reaching the unchurched?
