Once your church's Vision Casting Team has brainstormed ideas regarding what they believe God wants your church to be or do in the next several years, it's time to craft specific, challenging, and measurable vision statements.

How to craft those vision statements is the subject of this episode, number six in the series, "Vision Casting for Your Church."
So, your church has selected a Vision Casting Team to craft a 3-5 year vision for your church. What's next? What does that team need to know before they begin the brainstorming process?

Join Kerry and Becky in this next episode in the series, "Vision Casting for Your Church."

This is one of the themes in episode #3 in the series, "Vision Casting for Your Church." In addition, Becky and Kerry discuss the importance of the vision casting team seeking God's vision for their church, rather than their own. Spending time in prayer is key to identifying that!
