Vision Mission Planning (VMP)

Eric Weiss, as council chair, also chairs Vission Mission Planning. VMP resumed in 2007 after a fairly lenghty hiatus to discuss the strategic course for St. Luke under Pastor Govaski's leadership. In 2008, St Luke focused attention on evangelism, fellowship and education. The major event was a retreat in September that explored the development of small group ministries at St Luke

In 2009, VMP took time to re-evaluate past planning efforts, and recommend strategical initiatives for 2010. Minutes and working notes for VMP can be found on our wiki.

In 2010, preliminary work was done to come full circle on planning our strategy. VMP began to review our mission statement and derive priorities for the short term.

In 2011, VMP hopes to encourage excellence and accountability in all we do. This will all start with a determined desire to budget much more accurately than in the past and be realistic about what needs to be accomplished, especially in relation to trustees work and programs. We intend to spend our budgetted amounts, and will need the congregation to respond through givings to the Lord's work that will allow us to do so. Again, see our wiki. for more details.
