The FOUR F’s

There are FOUR “F’s” that we try to remember to help us effectively resource the churches of our convention. They are:

• Fast
• Flexible
• Focused, and
• Friendly

We want to respond FAST to specific needs. When there is a request for resourcing, we want to respond within hours if possible. We trust and empower our leadership to make decisions so they can respond quickly.

 

Our convention is striving to be FLEXIBLE, responding to opportunities and needs. We have very few dates on our calendar that are not connected directly to the vision needs of our churches and associations.

 

We strive to be FOCUSED by being priority-based. We realize the convention is an extra-Biblical organization that needs to exist for the primary purpose of assisting the local church. We are exploring ways to organize ourselves around priorities and not programs.

Finally, we seek to work with our churches in a FRIENDLY manner so they know we are a “great place for resources.” We want to collaborate with our 15 associations to be the first choice of our churches for resources. We want our churches to know that we are ready and able to provide assistance and resourcing at the point of need and in a timely fashion.
