Vision Frame Explained

Here is a 3 minute video explaining the new vision frame for the Forest Lakes District multiplication ministry. The vision frame incorporates the mission, values, strategy and marks of success into one clear visual representation. This frame will guide the Church Multiplication team as we seek to grow and develop our district ministry for the future.

Vision Frame Draft

The Church Multiplication Team for the Forest Lakes District has worked with me to develop the following vision frame based on a process outlined by Will Mancini in Church Unique. This frame will become the basis for future development goals. Because this is a draft your feedback is welcome and desired.
