Mission Statements broken down into achievable steps

History's mission statement is to make disciples who can make disciples of Jesus Christ. The phrase is repeated over and over again in print and spoken word. But every mission is made up of tiny little steps that must be well-crafted and well executed in order to be successful. So here it is in bite-size pieces...

To turn prospects into visitors
To turn visitors into regulars
To turn regulars into participants
To turn participants into partners
To turn partners into apprentices
To turn apprentices into leaders

Our leadership team is currently assessing each of these steps to discern where we're strong and where we need improvement. Painful but vital.
