Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning provides the opportunity for leaders to work out their ideas together and gain clarity and agreement about where they are going and how they will get there.  The planning process is helpful for new churches, existing churches wishing to stimulate growth, and for new networks and dioceses wanting to stimulate and support regional church multiplication.  The process normally includes the following objectives:

  • Identifying necessary goals & milestones;
  • Developing strategies to accomplish the goals & milestones;
  • Identifying the resources needed;
  • Building realistic time lines and budgets;
  • Designing methods for monitoring and evaluating progress;
  • Making course corrections when necessary.

The planning process can be done in a retreat format lasting 1-3 days depending on the challenges being faced, resources available, and the outcomes desired.

A more comprehensive process is also available which can be completed over a period of months for those congregations, networks, or dioceses whether they are just getting started or wishing to grow or retool their ministries through an  intentional change in direction.  In these cases, retooling plans can be designed utilizing the resources of the Natural Church Development (NCD) Institute where the leadership team conducts a self-assessment of their ministry to gain deeper insight before devising their plan.  The team meets 2-3 times for extended planning sessions with the Titus coach who facilitates the leaders’ planning process.

Coaching plans are also available to provide continuing support with the implementation of the plans after the design phase is completed.
