CREATING A VISION
VISION
What is vision, why is it important, how do we start thinking about and forming vision?
Vision is your purpose—it’s why you do what you do. Vision helps you to know what you are trying to achieve. It enables you to set goals and measure success. Vision will bring purpose and unity to volunteers.
What do you want to accomplish in the lives of the children and families in your church and community? That is your vision.
Know your church’s vision and ensure your vision aligns with it.
VALUES
Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you do things in your ministry They underpin your children’s ministry. They determine how you work and what is important. Your values will help determine how your vision is delivered.
