Visioning Process Update
Stop and take a look at the Visioning Process Display found at the bottom of the curved stairway up to the second floor. The observations and suggestions from the congregation to the Visioning Team resulted in improving our mission statement to include "Invite into Fellowship" and identifying our six strategic areas: Worship, Service, Fellowship, Evangelism, Discipleship and Infrastructure. Also note on the display that the "Suggested Ideas" has been updated again. The staff, leaders and teams of St. Paul's have worked on many ideas suggested by the congregation with 36 of 63 completed or in progress in the last 18 months.
