Workshop 7 presented as part of the 200th ‘Aha Pae‘āina
How do our congregations evaluate and celebrate ministry?
Many congregations measure the success of their ministry by the number of individuals in the pews on Sunday and the amount of money that supports the congregation. While these metrics are valuable, they are not the only way to measure the efficacy and thriving of a congregation. In fact by over-focusing on these two metrics, we can miss the subtle movings of the Spirit to lead our ministries into the future Church.
The HCUCC strategic plan has a stated initiative of an “Expansive Concept of Church.” This workshop will encourage participants to envision how their congregations can develop localized metrics that evaluate how the Spirit is leading them into the future.
The ongoing work of this metric development will be one of the initiatives of the Conference's new Innovation and Engagement Missional Team.
