Discerning a Parish Vision download. It’s virtually impossible to become an evangelizing parish unless the parish operates within a common vision of who they are called to be. A common, articulated vision serves as a North Star, and gives you the ability to measure your progress in reaching the vision for your parish. “Discerning a Parish Vision” outlines a process for doing just that. Over three sessions, parish leaders prayerfully discern their own parish’s unique vision for evangelization. View it and buy it for download and printing here.
Assessing your Parish Ministries and Apostolates for Evangelization download. How do you know which ministries are furthering your work toward discipleship and evangelization, and which are not? This printable, easy to use tool builds off of The Four Ways Forward: Becoming an Apostolic Parish in a Post-Christian World, and helps you recognize strengths and weaknesses, and how to build full-spectrum evangelization. View it and buy it for download and printing here.
The Four Ways Forward discussion questions/mini-journal (book study leaders, or personal use). Need book study questions for your small group or your own reading? We have them attractively presented and ready to print. Buy it for download and printing here.
