We're hosting our second "Tour" this Sunday for newcomers to Element Church. We have 40 registered so far. (Not all are newcomers) The Tour is a great way for us to share the history, mission, vision and strategy of Element Church on a more intimate level. We are introducing table hosts to The Tour this month. We have some core Elementers who will be table hosts for the newcomers at the dinner.
The Tour meets at LCCC (Laramie County Community College) at 12:15 the second Sunday of every month. We provide the food, childcare and "entertainment".
The last one was a blast. It was so fun to re-share the history of where God brought us. The Tour is going to be just as beneficial for us as a staff as it is for the newcomers. It is SO GOOD to recount the vision, mission and strategy we believe God has given us. It keeps US reminded of why we do what we do.
In the life of the church there will ALWAYS be people who will question the vision God gave you. They will question your strategy that GOD gave you. They will question your mission and values that, who? GOD gave you. For a church to thrive and be successful over the long haul, the leadership must be loyal to the vision, mission and values FIRST. Why, because GOD gave it to you. If it's not of God guess what? It won't work!
Ok, from a Tour update to talking about vision. I do thought often.
Following Christ,
Jeff
