Focus
Questions for
Congregational Discussion:
Vibrant Rural Churches Project
Below
are five questions we would like you to think about before the
upcoming Vibrant Rural Churches meeting. We will ask a number
of related questions as well, but these represent the areas we
are interested in. We are deliberately focusing this project on
what is positive and life-giving for Small Rural congregations.
1.
Think of your congregation's various programs and projects. Which
are the most fun, satisfying and energizing for your congregation?
2.
What do people in your community think about and expect of your
congregation?
3.
How does your congregation equip your members for, and encourage
them in, Christian ministry?
4.
What are the challenges that you as a congregation need to face
related to the future?
5.
If you were to wake up tomorrow to find a vibrant congregation
meeting those challenges and serving your community, what would
it be or look like?
