Objectives and Strategic Initiatives

I think all 5 of these initiatives are important, but the one that stands out right now is church revitalization. Discipleship is always meant to be done in community, so the focus on church communities as a whole stands to create the most dramatic change in leadership development and missional-focused churches. Our world would look very different if the church fulfilled its Scriptural mandate of bringing the kingdom of God to our local communities. It would affect areas like poverty and addiction, broken families, loneliness and the need for belonging, disciple-making, evangelism, art and creativity, etc. Focusing on church revitalization widens the net and allows lay people to become the participants in God’s kingdom that we were created to be.

I think right now, one of the most important things we need is to focus on our next generation and new upcoming leaders. Training and equipping them for the mission field and for pastoral ministry and leadership, etc. We need more laborers in the harvest, and we need to engage a generation that has more distrust of organizations and Churches but are passionate about doing good.

I believe that visions and goals put on ground; it is important it is marched with strong positive strategies, and initiative and are constantly pursued in order to check whether the organization is still on track with the realities of kingdom purpose. I am happy to learn this positive initiative put in place in ACOP to grow positive leadership inline with God’s mandate to set upcoming leaders in rightful perspective.

Leadership Development, because everything starts & ends with the leadership of an organization.

If we have healthy, thriving, Spirit led leaders starting and leading churches, we will inevitably create healthy churches that transform communities.
