The first step in the Church Unique process is to discover our Kingdom Concept. A Kingdom Concept helps a church to discover the unique actions that a church can do better than any other church around them.
The idea is not for our church to "copy and paste" Saddleback, Willow Creek or other growing churches. The assumption is that we should discover our uniqueness, focus on what makes us unique and do the best we can to live that uniqueness out in to our community.

My leadership has been to 2 out of 6 sessions of the co::labs. We are very excited about this process and can't wait to dig into the other 4 sessions!
Keep up the great work, Randy & Trinity! Gloria Dei is also working on its Kingdom Concept. I dare say Trinity is out front compared to us. I look forward to hearing and seeing how God leads you through this process!
ReplyDeleteReally??? No kidding! I've seen tweet from Mancini (author of this process) that he was working with Gloria Dei. That's cool to hear that affirmed! Share with me what they're doing and how they're coming along, Flight.
ReplyDeleteYup, we're struggling through the Vision Pathway process and it's certainly not easy.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at the latest GDLC FAQ (http://www.gdlc.org/upload/docs/FAQ%27s%206-9-09.pdf). It includes a link to some presentation charts they showed us June 7 that included a rough-cut Kingdom Concept (slide 7).
