This course will investigate the idea that financial challenges often drive many of the conversations in our churches today. This course seeks to cultivate theologically grounded strategic planning practices for congregations and non-profit institutions to enable medium-and long-term focus on goals beyond what is financially urgent. We will work through the steps of communal strategic thinking and planning, paying attention to issues of church polity, leadership, and acting with integrity. The course will increase students’ familiarity and comfort levels with institutional planning, fundraising, and community growth.
