Church Unique Visual Summary

Will Mancini's team Auxano changes everything about church vision and strategy.  The book "Church Unique", their coaching network "Co:Lab" and the willmancini.com blog are great tools to live out a stunningly unique movement-oriented church.

Our church has a concise, clear and compelling vision statement as well as values, strategy and measures.  All of this was developed in a collaborative way (more than 30 different and unique people spoke into the process in some significant way!).  We discovered our unique God-given imprint for the Columbia, TN community and now we are working on living out our church-unique in a better way!

Mancini just released a Visual Summary of the Church Unique content and process. Check it out: (Part 4 is my fav section)
