Get a plan to make & Mature more disciples.

The Strategic Envisioning Process

Strategic Envisioning is a proven process to help your church clarify a shared dream and plan for the future so that you can gain disciple-making momentum.

STRATEGIC ENVISIONING IS A 3-STEP PROCESS

1. Train

2. Plan

3. Implement

How

it

works.

Step 1: Train

After onboarding, your team schedules a one-weekend session to learn the foundational principles that every church needs to make and mature more disciples. Your leadership cannot make an effective plan until everyone is operating from the same level of competency.

Our first-class training was developed by best-selling author Dr. Aubrey Malphurs, and has been taught in hundreds of churches worldwide. 

The training is delivered either via video (for a lower cost) or by a Malphurs Group Guide on-site.

Step 2: Plan

Within six weeks of your Training Session, a TMG Guide will come on-site to conduct an intense, two-day planning retreat. During this retreat, your team will:

  • Affirm, revise, or develop a Mission statement
  • Affirm, revise, or develop a Core Values credo
  • Define a Discipleship Pathway
  • Assess all ministries and re-structure ministries according to the Discipleship Pathway
  • Clarify your future using TMG’s three-part Vision process
  • Select 3-5 Strategic Objectives for the next 12 months

The Plan Session empowers your team to have a shared dream and plan for the future, so you can maximize your ability to make and mature disciples.

Step 3: Implement

The third step begins with a 4-hour Implementation Kickoff. During this session, your team will watch a brief video training on the Implementation process, and then begin to form Action Plans. 

TMG Action Plans are working documents that fuel your progress towards your Vision.

The Malphurs Group provides your church with one year of coaching from our dedicated Implementation Specialist. Your Implementation Specialist’s sole job is your success, partnering with you and holding your team accountable to the Action Plans you develop.

Our team goes above and beyond to make sure you succeed at implementation.
