Beloved Community Church will be the city-wide center of liberation based worship, Christian Education and community building.

Implementation Part 1

What Does Liberation Based Activity Look Like?

Particularly around the activities related to Worship, Christian Education, and Community Engagement

Implementation Part 2

Our Communication Strategy: Target Audience, Target Message

One of the authors I read in Christian Education class made a statement similar to the following:

If we do not take time think about what we want to teach people and how we want to teach them, the best that we can hope we occasionally do what we are trying to do. God’s word and God’s people are too important to be that random.

I believe there is a similar point to be made about marketing and communication. If we are not clear about what our message is, and to whom we are targeting our message, our best hope is that occasionally we have the right message for the right audience. God’s word and God’s people are too important to be that random.

I know it can be tricky to talk about the work of the church in business terms, but I think there are some important lessons that we can draw.

Next Steps

How do we move from plan to action?

These are suggested activities that would help the church to take forward steps in many of the areas named in the strategic plan.
