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.

Objectives and Strategic Initiatives
-
Respond in paragraph format to the following prompt(s):
Which Strategic Initiative do you think is the most important in accomplishing ACOP’s mission of “developing and releasing effective leaders and healthy churches who transform communities?” Why? The current objectives are listed below:
<ul type=”disc”>
- Leadership Development
- To Engage and deploy next Generation Ministries
- Advocate for Church Vitality
- Global Expansion
- Church Multiplication
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.

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 agree that leadership development is a critical part of growth, but to identify and be strategic about creating opportunities for next gen leaders to participate meaningfully in our churches is likely the key for older congregations. Not only that, but just to identify the strategy is not enough, we need to be very willing to step aside and make room for the next generation, and learn from the process.

I think all of them are important in accomplishing ACOP’s mission on developing and releasing effective leaders.All of them have parts in this strategies. But leadership holds the biggest part because they are the visionary on strengthening the body . They have the biggest role in the ministry. They look at the picture then follows the strategic initiatives. All of this strategies have part/ roles in the mission field.
