One of our major goals this summer here at Grace Church is to spend this summer doing some serious planning in preparation for the Fall and beyond. Below are just some of the areas we will be looking at in our planning and strategy meetings over the summer:
Website: We will be completing work on new websites for the church as well as the school and daycare along with a new logo and branding for our entire ministry.
Saturday Service: Our five year vision plan calls for us to add a regular Saturday night worship service in 2010 that would be identical in content to our Sunday mornings. We will be discussing over the summer the logistics to possibly using the month of December 2009 and the first two Sundays of January 2010 as a 6-week pilot to try out a Saturday night service. We would them take a couple of months after that to evaluate with the intent of launching our permanent Saturday service beginning on Easter weekend 2010.
Café Logisitcs: This fall we will see our new café and office expansion built. We will use this summer to plan all of the logistics behind the logistics of our new Café.
Web Campus Development: When we started live streaming our 10am Sunday morning service, we never dreamed that it would so quickly grow to so many people watching our service live each Sunday. Over the summer we will be talking through how we can broaden this outreach through technology and connect with those who are watching on the web.
New School Year: We will be planning marketing, fund-raising and final staff hires for the upcoming school year at Lititz Christian School & MorningStar Daycare/Academics.
Connect Group Push: Seeing everyone in a Small Group is part of our 5-year vision plan. This Fall we will be making a major push to get everyone to experience one of our Connect Groups for eight weeks as our groups use the study in Ephesians 1-3 that we will do as part of our Sunday Morning services and take it deeper in their groups during the week. We will be using this summer to finalize plans for this Fall emphasis
Operation Barnabas Orientation: Operation Barnabas Orientation will be back at Grace Church in June 2010. This will bring about 100 ‘cream of the crop’ High School students from all over the country to us for two weeks. We will begin planning how we can best utilize having these teens with us to impact as many people as possible in our community.
Year of Prayer: We would like to make January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 "The Year of Prayer" here at Grace Church in which we emphasize prayer all year long including special message series and together as a church doing one ‘prayer challenge’ each month.
Satellite Campus: Our five year vision plan calls for us to start our first Satellite Campus in 2011. We will use this summer to begin our initial planning to see this become a reality.
