What does God Want? Worksheet

I would remind you that this "course" is not intended to be a "How to" kind of course.  Rather it is a journey where you will be expected to answer questions that I will pose with the intent of provoking you into action.  Learning without changing is nothing more that gathering trivia.

After each post/lesson, I will provide a worksheet so that you can sit down with those you consider to be the movers and shakers in your church and beginning the process of examining how your church does business and deciding where you want to go.

General Information

1. What is the name of your church? - 
2. When was it established? -
3. What was your church known for?
4. What is the name of the community/neighborhood your church serves?
5. What problems or special needs does your community/neighborhood have?

Purpose Vision

1. What sorts of plans have you made to reach your community?  Have you carried out those plans?
2. Which of your community's social services (if any) have you partnered with?
3. If I asked someone in your community what purpose (if any) does your church have with regard to the community, how would they answer?
4. If you church died tomorrow, would anyone outside of your congregation miss it? Why or why not?
5. How is your community better because your church is there (besides bringing the Gospel closer to them)?

I welcome any suggestions and improvements.  These are meant to be living documents that change and improve with time.
