Throughout ministry, I’ve noticed that many church staff, congregants, and leadership are left questioning what the vision and purpose are for their ministry. Sometimes it may seem like we are all living out our visions inside the church and the growth and movement of our congregation seems stagnant. It’s so important that we all know the church’s vision and makes that a goal we live to achieve daily.
