who we are

2007 Big Rocks

"Big Rocks" are our annual goals for the current year. This concept comes from the best-selling author Franklin Covey who says that to maximize your time and plans, you must always focus on the most important things first. Below is a list of "Big Rocks" that are our global priorities and the things that we measure intently for every area within our church.

Big Rock 1 – Christ-likeness

  • Re-declaring our end-goal: becoming like Jesus individually, as a church, and in to the world
  • Develop a clear and simple path for kids, youth, adults, and families
  • Disciple and train our staff and key leaders first
  • Sharpen our tools

Point Leader:  Shelley Winkler
Suggested Reading:  the gospel of Mark; The Great Omission, Dallas Willard

Big Rock 2 – Sending Disciples

  • Clarify who/what leadership roles we desire to develop
  • Research and evaluate Church planting models
  • Re-evaluate our leadership development path
  • Assess size, structure and resource needs of our organization to accomplish our strategy
