We are forming a committee to refresh our congregation’s values, purpose, mission, and vision (VPMV). In the past several years, our congregation had experienced steady growth with new members post pandemic. With the current social climate, it is important to refresh our VPMV, involving the whole congregation. We expect the committee members to engage most of the congregation through focus group discussions, consolidate the data, and present the final readout to the congregation in a year-long process.
Please contact us if you are interested in participating.

Commitments:
Each member of the core team (the “VPMV Committee”) will need to commit to the following:
- Attending each virtual committee meeting, which will take place up to several times monthly to get the plan started, then about monthly during the next church year as the process plays out, with more frequent meetings as needed.
- Attend VPMV Training (one of the committee’s meetings) to be trained on how to facilitate a Focus Group for the VPMV Process
- Facilitate at least 3 (possibly 4) Focus Groups of about 5 people each from the congregation, guiding them through the VPMV recreation process as trained; gather notes from each Focus Group in a common documentation area (Google Drive) for analysis and follow-through by the Committee
- Support and participate as needed within the Committee to see the VPMV Recreation process through to the end.
