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.

Why was the EPIC program developed?

Answer

ACOP leadership realized that most pastors were well trained theologically but lacked some core leadership competencies.

    It’s hard to nail down one when they all are very crutial.. but having said that, I’d say leadership development as without good leadership, there will not be longevity or sustainability in any area.

    I believe that all of these are intertwined and most beneficial in collaboration with each other; however, if I have to choose one, I would say without effective leadership, none of these things could function very well. Effective leadership is the glue that holds healthy organizations together.

    I believe these all go together and each have a different way to help develop and release effective leaders and create healthy churches. Personally, if I had to choose one, I would choose Next Gen Ministries. I've been part of a Next Gen Team for almost 15 years now and I've seen first hand how when we walk beside our youth and help them to develop their faith, that faith becomes stronger. When we give them opportunities that they may not get elsewhere, things like service opportunities, leadership opportunities, they become empowered and bolder in what they want to do. That is what we want in effective leaders…Bold and empowered people who are willing to dream big.

    I think leadership development is the most important. It is in developing our leaders that they will become more effective in their leadership. When we have healthy leaders we will have healthier churches.
