I just had one of my Deacons give me a card that they found in their house and it was our vision and goals card from 1999. I couldn't believe it because it seems so small as I look back 10 years later but at the time I'm sure it was a stretch! Here's what I was believing for back in 1999.
* Give $25,000 to missions for the year.
* Get 180 people to go through our discipleship course.
* Have everyone invite at least one friend to church. (That would be 350 people visiting.)
* Have 2 Friend's Days with 100 visitors each.
*Launch a Celebrate Recovery ministry. (We've had it going for 10 years now!)
* Raise all levels of leadership.
* Launch Marriage Ministry.
Funny how the issues still are pretty similar, it's just that the numbers get bigger! we still need leaders, we still want to reach out to people and we still have a huge missions emphasis with Global Project. It was great to get a look back at past goals and then look ahead to the future!
