Congregational Mission Plan

We are developing a congregational mission plan.  Realising that the gospel must be taken out into the community, we are turning our focus from maintenance to mission.  The plan involves asking and answering five key questions:

1. Why?  Why must we reach out?

2.  Who?  Who are we?  What skills do we have?  What sort of congregation are we?

3.  Where?  Where are we situated?  What is our context?  What's going on in the community around us?

4.  What?  What are we going to do, in order to share the love of God in Christ with the people of our parish area?

5.  When?  What is our timetable?
