I think it will get your heart pumping with anticipation of all the good things yet to come under your ministry leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s my testimony about the linked post. I wrote it based on my own experience of digging deep into the CCCC mission statement. I find it very exciting to think about our statement: <em>CCCC members will be exemplary, healthy, and effective Christian ministries<\/em>. Just the idea of thousands of churches and agencies further living up to that description excites me because of the greater effect they will have on Canadians and our society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there&#8217;s much more to get excited about! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I think about what we have to do to fulfill our mission statement, all I can say is I get so excited I can barely contain myself! Plumbing the depths of a mission statement makes it very clear what must be done to achieve it and I look forward to developing or tweaking the programs that will do the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This post from April 12, 2021 walks you through a process to discover how your mission statement can transform your church&#8217;s priorities and programs. You will be thrilled with the result. And best of all, as a pastor you get the fun of implementing the ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t overstate the impact your mission statement can have. It resulted in CCCC changing its name and its branding, while leading to new programs and a new corporate ethos. Check this post out and discover its power for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-cccc-blogs wp-block-embed-cccc-blogs\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"BGwDjO21Jg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2021\/04\/12\/the-untapped-power-of-your-mission-statement\/\">The Untapped Power of Your &#8220;Mission&#8221; Statement<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;The Untapped Power of Your &#8220;Mission&#8221; Statement&#8221; &#8212; CCCC Blogs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2021\/04\/12\/the-untapped-power-of-your-mission-statement\/embed\/#?secret=XVSpWrFgzc#?secret=BGwDjO21Jg\" data-secret=\"BGwDjO21Jg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"pps-series-post-details pps-series-post-details-variant-classic pps-series-post-details-38706 pps-series-meta-excerpt\" data-series-id=\"628\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-content\"><div class=\"pps-series-meta-text\">This entry is part 16 of 24 in the series <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/series\/pastors-hope-and-a-future\/\">Pastors: A Hope and a Future<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><p>Pastors who explore their church&#8217;s mission with fresh eyes will gain fresh insight into the priorities and programs the church needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/john\/2021\/12\/16\/explore-your-mission-afresh\/\" class=\"linkbutton\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ts_fic_featured_image_caption":"<span>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@kellysikkema?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText\">Kelly Sikkema<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/span>","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[542,547,553,554],"tags":[751,643,517,630],"series":[628],"class_list":["post-33171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christian-ministry","category-christian-mission","category-effective","category-thoughtful","tag-biblical-mandate","tag-churchs-mission","tag-mission-rejuvenation","tag-pastors","series-pastors-hope-and-a-future"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
