Real Life Discipleship #5

 Church Alignment

Our final week our discipleship review focuses on church alignment.  As a church, we are committed to our Mission:  Discover. Connect. Impact, and our Vision:  Life Together, with our Discipleship Goal:  Four:19 Disciples.  When aligned around these statements, the church becomes a powerful disciplemaking force.

We can look at being aligned as a church in several different areas:

1. Relational Alignment:  Members work to deepen relationships with God and others, challenge each other to spiritual growth, and to resolve conflict biblically.
2. Philosophical Alignment:  Each environment/program in the church understands the disciplemaking goal and how that environment contributes to that disciplemaking goal.
3. Theological Alignment: Elders, staff, and key volunteers understand the church’s beliefs and can explain the church’s beliefs to anyone who asks.
4. Organizational Alignment: Resources of scheduling, funding, and publicity reflect the church’s mission, vision, and disciple profile
