4. In what ways has your congregation partnered with other United Methodist congregations in the past?
5. What are the three primary ways that you hope your church will impact the community in the future?
6. List the resources that it will take to accomplish your mission and vision.
7. What possibilities do you see for your faith community based on its current trends?
8. How would your congregation thrive by being part of a cooperative parish or merging with another congregation?
