Every congregation has a unique identity and purpose within its local community.
Thriving in Mission is a guided discovery process that helps your church discern where God is already moving and how to join that work.
Using spiritual discernment practices, Thriving in Mission helps create a roadmap for your future ministry.
Our approach is built on the belief that a church’s mission isn't something you invent, but something you uncover. By combining prayerful reflection with neighborhood engagement and demographic data, we help you define a vision that is both spiritually grounded and contextually relevant. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all plan; instead, we provide the tools and on-site facilitation to help you identify the specific redemptive activity God has for your unique context.

"A highlight for me was seeing everyone’s words and ideas come up on the paper—how so many of us were seeing similar patterns. It brought a lot of unity within the group."
Leadership Alignment: We help your leadership team get on the same page and pull in the same direction.
Contextual Understanding: Gain deeper insight into your neighborhood’s specific needs and dynamics to better understand who your church is called to be.
Clear Strategic Planning: Move from vague ideas to a concrete Vision Frame with tiered five-year, three-year, and 100-day plans.
Momentum for Transitions: A clear vision document can assist in recruiting new pastors or staff, or helping new attenders understand what you’re about.
Authentic Confidence: By focusing on your own unique giftedness, you can move past the tendency to compare your ministry to others.
"It laid out a road map that will guide us and the next steps to take... after going through this workshop there is an expectation of change."
Thriving in Mission is provided to Christian Reformed congregations at no cost. This is possible because churches like yours support Thrive with Ministry Shares and offerings, and by other organizations and individuals who want to see congregations flourish. We invite you to support this work.
