Vision Frame and  2011 Areas of Attention
A Running Start¡­ 2006:  ¡°Dreaming Meetings¡± in Homes 2007:  Facility Study Committee formed to develop master plan. 2008:  Board of Stewards approves six key strategies for focus over the next few years
Six Key Strategies Broaden the variety of worship experiences through alternative worship opportunities. Become a center of life change for children and youth Focus our outreach through establishment of an outreach campus Build a strong network of classes and small groups. Become a portal for community service Develop a key foreign mission partnership
Six Key Strategies 2008-2009 Broaden the variety of worship experiences through alternative worship opportunities. Become a center of life change for children and youth Focus our outreach through establishment of an outreach campus
Six Key Strategies 2010 Broaden the variety of worship experiences through alternative worship opportunities. Become a center of life change for children and youth Focus our outreach through establishment of an outreach campus Build a strong network of classes and small groups.
More Questions¡­ Why do we want to do these things? Where do all our other ministries fit in? What kind of difference will these ministries make in the lives of participants?  In the lives of those in our community? What are the principles and values that will guide us? And why do WE want to do these things, as opposed to another church?  Who are WE anyway?  What is our identity? So that is what we want to do¡­ but there is still something missing
In 2009 St Luke¡¯s leadership set out to assess and articulate St Luke¡¯s vision.  Over the last year church leaders and staff have worked to define the church¡¯s DNA.  We worked with  Auxano , a consultant for successful churches around the country, and created a platform for missional movement using a tool called the  Vision Frame .
Let¡¯s take a look at the major components of the Vision Frame.  You will see that it is a conceptual framework through which we can see where God is taking St Luke¡¯s.
?
?
?
?
The Vision Frame is already making a difference for St Luke¡¯s.  It is being used in the following ways: Basis for sermons, studies, & common language. Foundation for 2011 planning and budgeting.  Basis for a new branding process.  Development of leadership Identification of the church¡¯s goals.

Vision Proper
The Vision Proper is the next mountain we are going to conquer.  It is the next major step we take as a community together, living out our mission to be gathered by Jesus to enact faith in love.
?
The mountain we will take¡­? We will be a church Where No One Walks Alone St Luke¡¯s is a community in which no one walks alone.  Christian friendship is the tool we use to change lives.  We never give up on one another, and we are not afraid to challenge one another to move forward on the pathway of Christ.  Everybody needs a training team.  Our favorite invitation is ¡°Hey¡­ Come Walk With Me.¡±
How do we know if we are making progress in becoming a community ¡°Where No One Walks Alone¡±?  By setting milestones to help motivate, challenge, and focus our people towards results.
Milestones by Summer 2012 Three-quarters of our active congregation will be part of a caring network, in which each person has a caring checkup conversation with someone at least once a quarter. One-third of our active congregation will be involved in a small Discipleship group, which uses Acts 2:42-47 as a rule of life. 100 new families from the community around Gethsemane will be in relationship with St Luke¡¯s, through Project Neighborhood, Breaking Bread (table fellowship) and Children and Youth ministry.
Six Key Strategies 2010 Broaden the variety of worship experiences through alternative worship opportunities. Become a center of life change for children and youth Focus our outreach through establishment of an outreach campus Build a strong network of classes and small groups.
Primary Enablers for 2011 Clarity of Vision   We will communicate our vision and learn how to use it to guide much of what we do.  Leadership Development   We will invest in the development of a new generation of church leaders. Church Structure We will take another look at our church structure and our staff structure to improve efficiency and reinforce our vision. Finances We will find ways to both work more efficiently to control expenses AND expand our contributions through more diligent and focused conversations with our congregation.
