OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

First things first

How should an organization determine its priorities?

Without focus, an organization can become to broad and lose track of its vision and not fulfill its mission. This is why we engage in strategic initiatives: to help us accomplish our Mission and reach our preferred future.

"Where there is no vision, the people perish..."

OUR ASPIRATIONAL GOALS

Our hope is that ACOP would be a disciple-making movement that is: 

  • Characterized by health, resilient and reproducing churches focused on reaching the lost.
  • Welcoming of the supernatural, empowering work of the Holy Spirit.
  • Engaging every believer as ana active partner in the Great Commission.
  • Affirming the ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
  • Brimming with effective, fruitful and diverse leaders.
  • Reflective of the Canadian mosaic of people groups.
  • Pioneering, entrepreneurial and innovative.

    • Leadership Development is the most important in my view; without effectives leaders, the rest will not come to fruition.

    It seems to me that the inderlying principal which each of these initiatives has a flavor of is essentially “Disciple Making”. They are all centered around ensuring that we are self-sustaining, continuing into the next generation, expanding self-governing churches across the globe, and training leaders in a way that they can also train other leaders. All of these things are designed to make sure that we don’t get snuffed out when the active ministers of today die off, and that is an incredibly essential model to consider in a fellowship, or really any relational part of your life. Make sure it multiplies!

    While I believe that each component is vital in its own way, I believe that leadership development is crucial. I movement and revival could not stand without skillful leaders. The way a leader holds themselves, responds to followers, and handles conflict can be dentrimental to a group. It is very important that leaders are sent out fully equipped for their mission, and prepared for whatever may come up.

    In my opinion, the most important strategic initiative in accomplishing ACOP’s mission of "developing and releasing effective leaders and healthy churches who transform communities?" is engaging and deploying next-generation ministries. I think this because to develop and release leaders, you need to have people from the next generation coming and being shaped by existing leaders. If there is no engagement from the next generation, there will be no future for an organization and there will be no leaders able to be sent to accomplish the goals of developing healthy churches and transforming communities.
