This is not a manual on managing change in a church. But here are a few pointers.
- It is unlikely that you will be able to move ahead on several areas at once. As a leadership team, reflect on all the information you have collected, and then identify one or two priorities.
- Set out your goals in these areas with a time-scale, and plan the steps towards those goals.
- Remember that such objectives need to be achievable and measurable, so that you can know whether or not you’ve got there.
- Identify the communication needs. Who will be consulted about your goals? Who will take responsibility for sharing them with the target group (perhaps the whole parish) and for listening to their concerns? How will this these goals be communicated most effectively?
- Evaluate. And then plan for the next steps forward.
When you go to the creative ideas, questionnaires etc remember that you won’t want to use all of these resources. Every parish is different and so every parish must decide which resources, if any, are most appropriate to use and if they need to be further adapted. But please let us know what you do! |
