STAFF’S ROLE IN VISION CASTING

BILL KEMP WORKSHOP2 @ LAKEWOOD

Role ClarityClergy-like staff Itinerate: They move from

congregation to congregation, sharing with each

the common understandings about faith and order

that are held across the denomination

Role ClarityHome-based Staff Locate: They become rooted in

their context, discovering how to be the kind of

church that is vital and transformative for their

community

Who is responsible for mission and identity

in the local church?

3 Questions that facilitate

your vision-quest

1.What is the real nature of Church?

2.Where is society taking us?

3.How can we do God’s will?

* 3 business questions in “Confronting Reality” by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan

Which boat is Lakewood?

What would Steve Jobs do?

When church staff share

a vision, they become like

the design staff at Apple.

They care that Lakewood

becomes exactly what

Christ had in mind.

If number two tries harder,

what does number three do?

Regional churches,

like Lakewood,

must focus on Quality

What will cause people to drive by

other churches to come to yours?

Regional Churches Constantly Market Themselves:

Innovation?

Churches that Innovate seek to fully understand their neighbor’s

needs, and then offer some aspect of the Gospel as a

relevant response.

Innovation involves seeing a problem or need in the world and implementing a solution for it.

Design, Quality, Marketing, and Innovation:
