1. A vision for our church.
2. Identifying three goals.
3. Strategies how to reach these goals within a time line and a person or group who actually makes it a reality.

The vision of the church for the next 3-5 years is as follows:

We are a people who are small in numbers but welcoming to all.  We seek to spread hope and encouragement, regardless of race, economic well being or other human condition.  Our prayer is to be God's servants in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Goals for the next 3-5 years are:

1. To establish a vibrant prayer ministry.  Under the leadership of the Session this program shall be put in place by Lent.  Peggy Price-Papp was asked to lead this group.

2. To increase the attendance of the worship service by 7% per year over the next 5 years.

a) To attain the second goal, a study shall be done during the year 2001 to start a contemporary worship service at a different day and time, to begin on an experimental basis for three months in 2002 under the leadership of the Evangelism and Worship committee.

b)  A study shall be done to establish a series of special programs (music, theater etc.) that shall be attractive to members, friends and the community at large.

3.  The third goal is to put in place a program to involve the youth of our congregation in the ministry of our church and throughout the community.
The strategy for this goal will be to initiate a new youth program for this year to serve the needs of the church (accompanying deacons on visits and cookie patrols, helping distribute Christmas packages etc.) and the community (helping with Habitat for Humanity, soup kitchen etc).  Pastor Letizia will be in charge of this program.
